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

Wonderful addition to my old Yamaha FG-180 Red Label guitar

The installation was not difficult but it did require patience and good workmanship when shaping the Zero Glide. I bought the black version and really like it's understated appearance.

I was having a very hard time finding the right nut replacement for my mandolin. Finally found this one at StewMac. Have never used the zero glide before, but this one works great. Had a good deal of sanding to do for a perfect fit, but it works great and sound is super on my mando. Thanks guys!!

I love it

I bought this for a Washburn Oscar Schmidt OE-40B archtop guitar, on which the nut had broken when putting on new strings. I always wanted to try a zero-fret nut and was pleasantly surprised at how well it works. Perfect string height and tone.
