About me:

Big Bends LLC was founded in 2001. In an "obsessive quest" to keep his guitars in tune, Jeff Massey (company founder) realized "friction" was the cause of virtually ALL tuning (pitch drift) problems. He found going out of tune while playing the guitar (or any stringed instrument) is almost always the direct consequence of "friction" acting upon the "fulcrum/pivot points of the floating bridge and the string bearing surfaces of the bridge, nut and string guides. After 10 years of experiments and improvements in both lubricants and applicators, the Nut Sauce filled Groove Luber was created. Today, Big Bends is still on a quest to bring the "Tech in a Tube" to every stringed instrument Artist, Builder and Repair Tech who has ever struggled with getting and staying in tune and breaking strings. All of our products are proudly made in the USA. Big Bends is located in Plainwell MI. about 15 miles from the old Gibson plant in Kalamazoo. -------------------------------------------------------------- xxx xxx xxx

    Photobucket xxx TESTIMONIALS -------------------------------------------- Adam O'Toole-Tech-Jason Mraz "Big Bends Nut Sauce is something every guitar tech should have in their work box. I've been using it for over 8 years and dont know what I would do without it. Best product out there by far, no one else comes close to it. You're not a true Guitar tech until you have this in the box."------------------------------------------------------------------------------ James Bowman- Against Me! "Big Bends Nut Sauce keeps my guitars running smoothly and keeps them in tune. I use it on my nuts, my pegs and my bridges." - ---------------------------------------------- Brian Sateia- Tech for Alice Cooper Band - Since I started using Big Bends Nut Sauce- string breakage is a thing of the past. I also apply a little to the saddles and have noticed that the saddles of the wound strings are not wearing down as quickly. I also use RELIGIOUSLY- Gloss Sauce. My guitar player, Keri Kelli of Alice Cooper sweats so bad that the guitars get water stains. With Gloss Sauce my guitars shine more than they did when they were new. Big Bends Nut Sauce and Gloss Sauce, Don't do a gig without it .................................................................................................................................................................................. John Cromer -Tech -Buckcherry- Big Bends is the best bench lube I have found and I always tour with it............................................................................................................................................ Kevin Briers- Tech- Buckcherry- Best tasting string lube ever, looking forward to more flavors.............................................................................................. Patrick Dorsey tech for Stone Sour "Big Bends goes everywhere I go. There's nothing better."................................................................................................................... Asian Steve tech for Anthrax New Strings are not enough! Big Bends is the secret ingredient for proper string changes. If your'e not using Big Bends, your'e not in tune...................................................................................... Brian Kutzman tech for Goo Goo Dolls Big Bends Nut Sauce is the best product I've found on the market for minimizing string breakage and extending string life. I string 2 or 3 guitars a day over a 1, 000 strings a year for various types of artists- and I wouldn't string a single guitar without it............................................................................................................................... Michael Joe Sagraves-Tech -Eric Church I never worry about tuning issues or string breakage with nut sauce. It works as advertised!................................................................................................................ Evan Bovee -Tech-Motion City Soundtrack "I like the product because it actually does increase the life of the - nut and the strings that sit on the it.".................................................................. ........................................................................................... .. ..
