tele -> White stuff on heel of guitar (Jun. 18 2013 17:02:20)

I have seen quite a few guitarists have some kind of white stuff in their guitars heels.
Does anyone know what it is and why is it there?
Example is paco at 48:00:

I'm pretty sure it's Vaseline. Players like PDL use it to lubricate their finger tips for picado.

Exactly. Or this stuff:



I've bought that lip balm and it is excellent. It lubricates well, washes off easily and doesn't stick on the strings.

Escribano, sorry for posting this video here but it was actually very helpful.

thanks. Then the next question would be what sort of white strings are those on the video?[8D]

It could be lard...

Aquila Nylgut, with Lard core.



Sean -> RE: White stuff on heel of guitar (Jun. 19 2013 21:08:28)

Aquilla Nylgut have the thinnest e string I've ever seen, too thin.
He may be using the b string for an e, and a g for the b though; that's definitely not the Aquilla e string.
The Lard core makes them play extra smooth; I was gonna say buttery but didn't want to offend the lard enthusiasts.
