Location: Jet City | The production date on the PF-22 wasn't on the side of the headstock, but it WAS under the bridge/tailpiece...
March 20, 1980.
After, I went to the guitar store and picked up this stuff to lube the nuts on the guitars that were having the tuning "pings".
All gone now. This stuff works great!

Location: enid, ok | A #2 pencil has never failed me. I put a graphite nut on my Breadwinner/Deacon LTD, and it's never failed me, either. If it works, don't fix it, but remember that the bridge is also a contact point, and a touch of graphite on it probably won't hurt. |

Location: Jet City | I even used it on the UKII's brass nut. I wish I would have looked for this stuff sooner. That one's been pinging for a year now.
Simple to do too. I used a high E string as my "brush". Dipped it in the stuff then slid it all around the slot. |
