"I learned about zero-glide sixteen years ago and have used one on every build since - 15. it makes no sense not to use one IMHO. A guitar without a zero fret is a car with stone wheels as far as I am concerned."

"I've had 3 Zero Glides installed for me on a couple of banjos had a luthier mess up one of them unfortunately and eventually had to get a new one installed by another luthier. To me the sound on the open strings is clearer and cleaner sounding than with a plain bone nut. And the strings never bind in the nut slots when I'm tuning them."
