Most of you were saying that the nut height needs to be the same as a fret, which of course leads to the discussion of a zero fret.
I replaced a nut on my Jack Casady bass with a Zeroglide nut. https://goldtonemusicgroup.com/zeroglide/ With its offset tang fretwire, it is a very clever way to easily retrofit a zero fret to an instrument. For $20 or so, it might be a worthwhile experiment to see if it improves/fixes things. |

Strings continue to ark upward after passing over the top of a zero fret or nut slot. The amount depends on the angle of the string from the tuner, the stiffness of the particular string, and how much it has been bent down from fretting.
Filing nut slots and checking the clearance over the first while fretting the third, accounts for all of these variables for each string easily compared to a zero fret. and .010" is way too high. Last edited by David Farmer; 07-02-2017 at 09:47 PM. |
