Has anyone used this for guitars on the nut?

Man this stuff is slick and will make your nuts loose for sure. Don't put it on unless you want it to come off. Ron in Texas on 05-12-2014

Hi! You tie the other end behind the nut under the strings on the headstock. This is the best balance. If you prefer, you can install a strap button on the heal of the guitar (it is simple to do). Just contact MDW Support with your order info and they can send one right out. But the tie method is usually the best.

Yes it works on all guitar pegs just take care not to scratch your finish as with all tools.

They work well on electric guitars. I use them myself on all of my guitars. 2 strat type guitars with 3/3 setup and a les paul replica. You might need to drill the holes open though.

I hadn't before, but I just tried it and it worked fine on my Les Paul Custom. I generally use my Kyser on my electrics. I purchased the G7th specifically for my acoustic guitar because the Kyser wasn't tight enough for it and I needed something with adjustable tension; otherwise, I was perfectly happy with my Kyser capo and would recommend that brand. The Kyser actually works a bit quicker for switching in on and off and has the added bonus of being able to clamp to the headstock when not in use, for easy access. Sorry the G7th didn't work out for you. Good luck.

It will work great for almonds. Just cut the large end and the nut will slip right out.

I would definitely look at the nut. If you are a string bender and you dont use the whammy bar then you may wish to go to a fixed bridge setup. Just took my strat to have bridge set lower flush to deck. Not doing the Clapton block bridge, but I dont see anything wrong with that. Maybe in the future.

I love this nut cracker! Works well with Brazil nuts, pecans, filberts, almonds and walnuts. I haven't used it on hickory nuts, but feel confident that it would work. This nut cracker is adjustable for various diameters of nuts. I would recommend using it inside a shallow box indoors or to use it outdoors. Enjoy!

Yep it should work..clip it on to the headstock ( clips on like a clothes pin) then pluck a string..it picks up the vibration of the string through the guitar..it actually senses the vibration rather than the audible sound of the string...works great

If it is a true baritone guitar, the nut should be built with anticipation of baritone strings. The 157's are a standard baritone weight, a bit on the heavier side. I use them on an EC 1000, and I only had to file out the nut slightly. You should be fine.

Hi Shane, the nut is cut but the mounting holes in the back to connect it to the body are not pre-drilled and there are only 21 frets and not 22 as advertised. I wouldn't buy it again and have never used it.

I use it on guitars but it is supposed to be multi-instrumental. You will have to know what you want your strings tuned to.

I've never had that happen. I've had it work like loctite on the little presta end nut though.

Well, I don't have engineering answers for YA. I can say that a couple days ago, I changed out a rusty muffler on a Honda gx390 motor and used it to break free the rusted nuts ( and don't forget how the rust and heat affect the nuts) with no problems at all, the impacting action made it a breeze. When screwing 3inch deck screws, if you wanted to, you could drive them completely through the 5/4 board of not paying attention. Also, we predrilled holes for 10 inch square bolts to secure deck to 8" posts, put a 3/4 bit on the nut and it counter sunk the nut flush with the board and I stopped, no idea how far it would have gone... For my use as a professional that does many different kinds of jobs- it has plenty. Hope the info helps

Thanfully yes since all my guitars are rosewoodfretboards. This fluid is not really aggressive. You need some good amount of elbow grease along with the cleaner to get that player buildup off. That's likely a good thing as it's milder nature keeps you from overstripping the fretboard's finish. Some have written that it darkens the finish but my experience is the opposite...likely due to the dark dirt and oil buildup that it removes.

I tried a couple of guitars on the hanger, but they did not fit. I don't believe it will work for guitars.

Depends on the height, width and depth of the nut on your guitar. Good luck.
