Sure. All that you need is here:

Followed it exactly.

Why?
  1. Always had an interest in zero nuts after reading many forum and outside discussions about this.
  2. My particular OF660 has remarkable intonation with the saddle it came with and it's straight, non-intonated nut. Figured the zero nut would be fine.
  3. A couple strings were a tad high (not much) on the original nut.
  4. I have messed a lot with adjusting saddles, but very little with nuts. Didn't want to mess up my only nut and be forced to make a new one. The original was OK--I just wanted to make everything a tiny bit better.
  5. I was just lazy and trying a zero nut was no risk and at that time and only about $14. Amazon prices fluctuate up and down.
  • My strings are now where I want them
  • Sounds the same or a tad better overall (very subjective)
  • I enjoyed the satisfaction of the install process (still takes a bit of time and effort to do)
