i mean, if your nut is sticking and you use tremolo/bend a lot or have rly heavy strings, or change tunings or whatever, itll prolly help
its hard to imagine its as good as an actual nut made specifically for that. but i mean, graphite dust is definitely more slippery than metal on plastic. you just have to reapply it

id be lying if i told you id never done it, but id also be lying if i told you i know for certain that it makes an actual difference or not. but the logic is there.
it could just be some guitar old wives tale, but i always just do it habitually. do it when you change strings too. its most important it gets on the parts of the string that are in the nut
just be prepared to get made fun of as a poorfag or whatever on here, because it doesnt go away. get a darker nut i guess if you give a shit lol
