The ZGS is interchangeable with any standard nut. Rapid installation of the ZGS is simple and easy, and well within the expertise of your local instrument repair shop. In fact, although seldom done, the string slots should be recut if the string gauge is changed. The set-up of a conventional nut demands a different contour and depth for each string, to match the different string gauges. With the ZGS, the unfretted open string is suspended between the bridge and an actual fret just like all the fretted notes, yielding a more uniform tone. With less friction in the groove, swift accurate tuning is a breeze.! (Less friction=increased tuning stability and elimination of intonation problems after string bending.) Eventually, the string “sticks in the nut' when bent, becoming flat when the string is released. Ever notice that after you bend and release a string, the string goes sharp? Ever wonder why? Continued bending and tuning over the life of the instruments erodes the string slot. The result is truer intonation at every finger position. This means the string action is optimally adjusted throughout the length of the fretboard. The height of the ZGS fret is identical to the rest of the instrument’s frets. 013'Įach kit includes ZerO Glide bone nut, 3 fret heights and instructions
