My Forster Guitar - Re-Fret & Funky Zero Fret.
Evening all...
I thought I would chip this into the forum as there are a few folk around here who follow the British guitar scene and are interested to see what's what... I have had my Forster model B for a few years now and have previously written about it on the forum ( HERE! )  It's really blooming as an instrument (though I may not be as a player!) with the Italian spruce top aging sweetly... I had a recent set-up go disastrously wrong (the tech decided that the best way to get rid of a little buzz was to shave the frets so they were flush with the fretboard...) so it was off to Nigel Forster for a re-fret! The re-fret is just spot-on ( and done in super-quick time with all shipping arranged by Nigel)..but I thought I would post a pic of the new zero fret which he has added...it's shaped for improved intonation...  There has been a few debates about the pros and cons of the zero fret around these parts....I have always liked the sound, consistency and feel...and now I am also digging the improved intonation, particularly over first position chords.. Anyway...just thought I would show this to the group for info... Cheers.. D.

What a brilliant idea for the zero fret. Thanks for sharing.
