Celtic, U.K.I'm starting this thread so I can post a review of the Zero Glide Nuts I recently ordered online from Stewmac, I'll be including my experience with the installation of the Zero Glide Nuts on my Gibson LP Studio guitar and my Chibson Angus SG guitar, so far I have completed the installation work on my LP studio, also in this thread I will include some audio demos so you can hear what the guitars sound like before and after the installation, along with some pics, here's what the Zero Glide Nuts look like in their packaging:Īnd here's what one of them looks like installed on my LP Studio:.Jazz/Blues Variants, Bossa, Choro, Klezmer.Old-Time, Roots, Early Country, Cajun, Tex-Mex.Rock, Folk Rock, Roots Rock, Rockabilly.



By the time you got finished doing that (assuming you succeeded and didn't destroy the plastic nut piece in the attempt, which is highly probable), you could make the nicest new bone nut anybody ever saw. Specifically, the little "shelf" in the Zero Glide's plastic body that carries the fret wire would have to be re-profiled to mirror the radius. It's really too subjective your hearing and mine and another guy's are not the same.įor a deeply radiused fretboard, you'd need to modify the profile of the Zero Glide so much that it wouldn't be worth it. Arguing over qualitative differences in tone degenerates to the level of philosophers of old discussing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. The plug-and-play quick installation is the main selling point. Strings ride nicely over them without lubrication.

On guitars, you just drop the nut in and string up the instrument. I've used Zero Glides on several instruments, usually to satisfy customer requests. This post wouldn't have anything to do with last night's Stew-Mac email discount offer on Zero Glides, would it?
