Nut - Gold Tone, Zero Guide Slotted
The Zero Glide® Replacement Nut System borrows the “zero fret” concept to reduce string contact in the nut by up to 93%, increasing tuning stability, playability, and open string tone. It only takes a few minutes to install with absolutely no permanent alteration to your instrument. Zero fret wire included (multiple sizes).
See P-GTNN-ZBX for unslotted Zero Glide nuts.
| Comparison | Standard Nut | Zero Glide |
|---|---|---|
| Open String Tone | Absorbs energy. | Fret reflects energy, making the open strings more vibrant. |
| Tuning | Friction causes string binding. | 93% less surface area. More accurate tuning. |
| String Bend/Whammy Bar | Whammy bars and string bends cause the strings to bind in the nut and not return to pitch | Reduces string binding and "returns to zero" after every tug of the whammy bar or bend |
| Durability | Slots wear down over time. | Minimal wear. Needs less maintenance. |
| Installation | Six specific nut files, sharpening files, razor blade, and previous experience. | Sanding block and razor blade. (Slotted model) |

How do you level that zero fret? I assume the purpose is that it is the leveled with the other frets but I don't know how you would do that.

In theory, you would use the same size fret as the guitar uses, eliminating the need to level the zero fret, but detailed instructions on installation and proper setup once installed would best be answered by a professional guitar tech.
A zero fret is meant to be higher than the the regular frets . The kits appear to have various sizes of zero frets so you can change the string height to your liking

Any idea which zero glide to get for an ESP/LTD EC-256? All I can find for specs is that the LTD has a 1.65 (42mm) nut width?

Will this work on a Fender 1.650 width?
Asked by Anonymous on August 1st, 2017.
This nut is designed to work with Fender guitars that have 1-11/16"(42.8mm) nut width. A 1.650"(41.91mm) wide neck will be slightly too narrow for this nut.
