Nut or Zero Fret

[mercy]

Ive never had a nutted guitar that was done right. I could name names of people here in Southern Ca but I wont. The only guitar Ive had that didnt have nut problems was the one with a zero fret. Sure opened my eyes.

You repeated it, so I'll repeat it. You, unfortunately, have not had anyone build you a nut properly.

If traditional guitar nuts were truly so problematic, they would not be nearly ubiquitous, and the zero fret would be nearly ubiquitous.

Simple as that!!

I have no problem with people preferring zero frets. That is fine. But I really don't know what your eyes were opened to... Perhaps, that you have bad luck with guitar repairmen?? ;-)

I have fitted a few of these to date, was not that overly impressed.

They did the job

Good repairmen are hard to find. Once you do, you'll understand what a good setup feels like, and that will include a proper nut. Your guitar playing life will never be the same.

Well said, Todd!! Just like home reno contractors!! I've had an 85% batting average for getting shoddy contractors. And that is enough said, because I can feel my blood boil just remembering all the crappy issues they left me with!!

Bump to the top because there were two other threads started today. This one has the most info.

That is because it is the earliest of the zero glide "frut" threads. ;-)

Bump. Stewmac has these for 25% off. Curious if anyone else has done this in the past few years.

I prefer nuts over fruit any day. Just not an apple a day guy...

But do you prefer fruits over fruts?
