Taylor Zero Fret
Looks like Andy Powers invented a zero fret guitar.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9dfc954196.jpg

Could be an illusion?
That said, I've never understood why people hate on the zero-fret. I know a lot of cheapo guitars had them in the past...but I have a zero on my gypsy jazz guitar, and it sure makes setup easy. |
I have a zero fret archtop and ditto. Here is what will be touted: sound of open strings exactly the same as fretted. Friction of string for tuning substantially reduced.
|
I had an old Yairi (5065, maybe?) with a zero fret. First time I had ever seen one.
I liked it. |

Just got a zero fret myself--on a 70s encore kids guitar!

I do not see a zero fret in that picture. That's just the black nut found on all new Taylor V-class guitars.

There is clearly something white/silver there.. either a zero fret + black nut or a standard white nut. |
What's with the blacked out guitar body?
|
looking at the angle the D and G strings leave the nut, I doubt there's a zero fret there.
have always liked zero frets, they sort of got unjustifiably frowned upon with their association with cheap guitars back in the 70's |

There is some kind of blurry gleam under the G and B strings behind the nut and before the truss rod cover which one could conjecture is just light reflection or digital artifacts due to the low resolution. |
