Just curious, is Big Bend’s Nut Sauce a $59.00 price tag placed on lip balm? How about their $44  applicator, is it just a $3 syringe?What do you use to lub saddles,nuts and string trees?

I don't know where you saw that price. Guitar Center has one for $44.99 which is also a rip-off. I see it's the "Giant" lubricator if you want to lube your car.

I bought it from Sweetwater, and it was well worth the money at $15.99. My little syringe is still going after years of use. A little dab will do you.

Musician's Friend has one for $8.99. I don't what is with these crazy prices.

Big Bend's website listed some of these "high-end" retail prices for the three lubricant sizes they sell.  I took a large step back, then checked out Sweetwater to concur with your observation above.  It's now on my "to do" list.

@Plantsman13 The $8.99 version from Musicians Friend looks a lot like the one I purchased, but mine had a couple of the little applicators. I am not really sure what I paid because I bought it so long ago, and it is still going. Definitely recommended during every string change, and you can use it on your tuners also.

I actually use Big Bends products. Their product isn't cheap, but you use very little of it and it should last you years. I would get the smallest tube possible.
