This is a real good kit. Get your string spacing right, make sure of your dimensions. Be sure you have ordered a nut that is large enough that you can trim it down to fit. The instructions are super (a truly rare occurrence). This is not a drop-in thing. If you have the skill required to fine tune this to your instrument you will get great results. If you aren't sure, have your guitar tech do it. The price is right, so I suggest getting 2 if there's a chance you might mess-up. As always, measure twice, cut once, have fun.

The factory slotting on my J 50 nut did not match those on the zero nut. I replaced the first 3 frets, as they had moderate fretting grooves from playwear. Unfortunately the guitar continued to buzz on the open E and B strings. I suspect the zero fret needs to be a bit taller. I will try raising my saddle before giving up. I like the easy tuning of the zero fret, also like the sound of open strings on the zero fret. At this point, Im thinking the work involved here isnt worth it. I will keep trying.

This is not a plug and play item. One must sand and continually measure to fit the nut in the slot. It seems that the smallest fret wire is still too tall for my Fender Thinline. So I had to file it down to the correct height.

The nut slot for the low E string on my Epiphone Sheraton was too low causing a buzz at the first fret. Since I had to replace the nut, I decided to try this idea and it worked great. It allows you to easily set the action at the first fret to the right height for your playing style. The result is all of the strings are positioned properly and there are no problems with intonation going out. Unlike a standard nut, with the strings resting on the zero fret, you don't have to worry about the strings working themselves into the nut slots and making it necessary to replace the nut again. When the zero fret does wear down (would take a long time I would think) you can just pop out the worn zero fret and pop in a new one. With proper first fret action, it also makes it much easier to fret bar chords at the top of the neck. Since the nut slots on the zero glide nut are only for string spacing, the strings don't get stuck in the slot when tuning, so tuning is smoother. Lastly, it also adds clarity to open position chords because now all strings are playing against a fret instead of some of them sitting on the nut. If you have to replace a nut, this is a great option. If you don't think that you do, you might want to check! Once I put this on one guitar, I realized that another guitar had high action at the first fret, so I replaced that one, too, with one of these nuts. It does take a bit of careful work to install if you do it yourself - just don't rush it.Read full review

this product ZERO GLIDE nut is GREAT very easy to follow instructions the slotted nut itself files and sands very evenly not like the TUSQ material which i have some expereance with the zero glide is real bone when sanding or filling go slow and check your progress often you have to be precise on the money once instaled with the fret in place make sure to us the fret that gives you the closest action at the first fret without getting any fret buzz my space was or is 0.008 us a feeller guage not a pick or match book cover you need to be on the money so take your time and the outcome will be awesome the ZERO GLIDE dose sound different though than say your standard type of nut no open strings all are freted now but i like the differance and it cleared up my intonation problem all in all its a great upgrade for a great price i put this unit on my les paul style guitarRead full review
