It had GFS mean 90's in it previously, so will be an interesting contrast.

Put some graphite powder in the nut slots - rolling a pencil tip should do it.
Get some real fine sandpaper - 1200grit+ - bend in half (or 3rds, or 4ths etc depending on the nut width) and polish the nut slots. Use a drop of water to lubricate/wet polish. Be careful not to deepen the slots - you’re just polishing them up.
See if that helps

I looked for a gold one a few months ago for my LP Custom Black Beauty but they were out. This is for my Eastman, so I bought a nickel one... the simpler one, can't remember what it's called. Not the Radiator one.

Nope... the Duesenberg Diamond Deluxe Trem. We have a few forumites sporting Les Trems on various guitars. They're good too, and easier to install. My choice was purely aesthetics, not aware of any functional benefits over Les Trems.

Look around for Göldo G5 too. Basically, Göldo is the parent company that builds those trems. They supply Duesenberg with those trems that have the right branding, and some minor styling elements. They also sell Göldo ones that are unbranded, and may not have some of the art deco styling. I think the trem arm tips are just plain cylindrical things, without the "steps" that make them look art deco-ish. No "D" of Duesenberg either. Other than that, they're identical. I think I have seen them on Ebay too.

Might be time to start collecting beer can art.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Ah so would your mate/bandmate be Mike Cheer then? He sounds like someone I could enjoy a beer with, perhaps a can of Gunpowder Bock, and waffle on about brewing and metal, two of my favourite subjects!Kris wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 3:55 pm Got a load of pedals from pepers due in at some stage,the wait is killing me! hopefully there will be a few new things that i'll demo for him too.

I was actually reading about that beer today, I'm a Beer Jerk customer and got an email about it, already thought it was cool.
Now it's extra cool!
