ZB-27F Unslotted Replacement Nut for Basses (Common on Fender P-Bass)

glue it

Jun 23, 2017

I've used this for over a month and I'm more happy now than when I first installed it. The intonation on my acoustic is better than it ever was...you can fine tune the saddle almost dead on for intonation. One suggestion.....be sure to glue in the zero fret with a few drops of glue once you get the guitar right. I was working on my guitar on and off for a month and didn't glue in the zero fret. I was taking the strings on and off. Every time you reinstall the zero fret it will be in a slightly different place. String against fret will cause a slightly different indentation in the zero fret. You want the string to stay in the same spot on the zero fret.

Excellent product // outstanding company // amazing customer service

I just purchased my 3rd zero glide nut. I have one on my acoustic guitar and this is my second on my 5 string banjo. I've had a couple of custom necks built by different luthiers and in each case I went with the zero glide nut in place of a traditional bone nut. I am a believer in all the technical advantages that the zero glide has to offer. On top of being a great product the family and staff at Gold Tone Banjos are simply amazing folks. I've experienced genuine and personal assistance from everyone that I've been in contact with in the company. This goes all the way from the owner and his wife to their children and techs in the shop. After placing my 3rd order online last night I received a call first thing this morning from Justin wanting to make sure that I understood exactly how the nut slots were cut at the factory on the ZS 8 pre-slotted nuts. Justin made sure that I was 100 satisfied. The new nut was finished this morning and shipped same day. If I could give this review a 10-star review I would. Point being is that this is a top-notch company with great personal and corporate values. I give them and their products the highest review and praise possible. Most definitely recommended.

Now that I have it setup I love it. The kits should have all available nut wires in it. I had to special order the largest wire for my Martin Dred kit because the included were too small.

Single best upgrade I ve ever done

Jan 11, 2025

Replaced a stock plastic nut on my Squier Jaguar short scale bass with a zero glide today. Hand down the best upgrade I ve done to that or any instrument since I ve started playing. Action is now perfect intonation is spot on tuning is even better/easier as there is less friction to deal with. My initial reasoning for this upgrade was to minimize any nut work needed when changing string gauges now I just have to set intonation and tuning and it s good to go I didn t expect the immense open string clarity change nor did I expect that this bass could get any more sustain out of it but I stand corrected I ll be upgrading every bass and guitar I own to a zero glide now If you re on the fence just go for it - you won t be disappointed
