Single best upgrade I ve ever done

Jan 11, 2025
Replaced a stock plastic nut on my Squier Jaguar short scale bass with a zero glide today. Hand down the best upgrade I ve done to that or any instrument since I ve started playing. Action is now perfect intonation is spot on tuning is even better/easier as there is less friction to deal with. My initial reasoning for this upgrade was to minimize any nut work needed when changing string gauges now I just have to set intonation and tuning and it s good to go I didn t expect the immense open string clarity change nor did I expect that this bass could get any more sustain out of it but I stand corrected I ll be upgrading every bass and guitar I own to a zero glide now If you re on the fence just go for it - you won t be disappointed

Great product

My circa 1997 American Standard Strat always had a problem with staying in tune after whammy bar use. I tried pencil graphite and different string sizes with not much luck. I put this nut on and a set of Gotoh locking tuners and now it seems to stay in tune very well.

Great Product For Any Guitar.

Wow, what an innovation! This product eliminates the critical process of nut filing completely disappear to be replaced by a zero fret which enhances the sound of your guitar. It is not without some challenges in installation, but once completed your guitar just sounds and plays better.

3rd Zero Glide for me

Nov 3, 2023
I've had 3 Zero Glides installed for me on a couple of banjos had a luthier mess up one of them unfortunately and eventually had to get a new one installed by another luthier. To me the sound on the open strings is clearer and cleaner sounding than with a plain bone nut. And the strings never bind in the nut slots when I'm tuning them.

IT WORKS!

I put one on my Taylor 12 fret, it made a big improvement in string tone, tuning, and intonation. I'm now going to install them on all my guitars.
