What's with the darker blue curvey marks?
Those aren't stock are they?

That sounds like the answer to an entirely different questionHave you tried lubrication? I've had great success with Big Bends Nut Sauce.

Thanks! Actually, I haven't tried anything yet. The tuning is pretty stable for me since I'm not a heavy trem user, just gentle vibrato. Big Bends will be the first thing I try, though - if it hasn't dried up, I bought it several years ago and never opened it.Have you tried lubrication? I've had great success with Big Bends Nut Sauce.

Some early morning, low volume grooves on my Pipe Dream Fretworks Chopped 6 through my AxeFx III and CLR Neo wedges.

Thanks, I hadn't heard of using Brasso on a string. I have some thin abrasive cord from StewMac that’s meant for widening nut lots, but I haven’t tried it yet. I like your idea since Brasso isn’t too abrasive which means I’d be less likely to overdo it.I bought a set of files to fix a sticky nut on one of my guitars which worked out well. It’s possible to use a string with Brasso or other polishing compound to clean up slots. Look it up on the net for more info. And of course lube helps. I use it every string change out of habit.
Pretty and toneful. Mars and Music Loft going at it across street from each other in Raleigh, Mars didn't have this. Looked around for better part of two hours, spotted this on top row; nobody help me so I grabbed the steps crawled up and was about to grab it when one dude said, "Hey what are you doing"; I said "going buy it". he said, "Aw s**t" went got it and sold it to me, walked out for $675...looked it up and about fainted!Mars became Sam Ash and Music Loft became Guitar Center. I count this baby as a "win"!
