Sorry to bring this thread back again, but can anyone else confirm if nut sauce can be used on piezo saddles without affecting the tone/output? I don't have severe stability problems anymore, but I just want to be thorough during my next setup and thinking of lubing these up too...

I've used it on piezo saddles with no problems. I will say that I don't use very much at all on them though. Wouldn't want to get any underneath, just on the very top.

I've used a bit on my piezo saddles, no issues!

Pencil lead on the nut all day long. Works like a champ.
Hi,
I tried both graphite oil and Vaseline on my Sterling Jp60. Some strings stay in tune while others don't (especially the Low and high E on the edges) The tremolo saddles are like a fender bridge but it also has posts like most floating bridges.
I haven't tried oiling the blade and post.
Has any of you guys heard of any problems with the MM guitars posts before? I'm a little concerned since this is the Sterling, is the metal of the bridge the same as that of the MM?
Thanks!
