This did not help.
I had a squeaking strum bar so I followed this guide to dismantle and clean the parts. Other than the one step missed in the guide it was easy to follow. It also stopped the squeaking!
Thanks! pretty simple repair. I added a little synthetic lube to the strum bar and all quiet and smooth action now.
