Is it one of those combined nuts and zero frets like this?

Just looking at pictures them and the zero fret doesn't seem well supported on the headstock side of the fret. They would look to need a lot of fine tuning to get everything to fit the fret in the same way a real zero fret would fit.

I've seen reports of them not working very well. I think someone on here tried one recently and wasn't impressed and went back to a standard nut.

Also an old thread here: https://www.buildyourownguitar.com.a...ight=zeroglide

So, check this out. I bought one of these nuts for a china tele (non-PB......I know!...[emoji849]). Looking at the fretboard, and it's already slotted for a zero fret! Attachment 42498

I don't think that other zero glide is coming in. Sketchy-azz website. Maybe it'll show up in a week or two. Lol. In the mean time, going with the stock nut. Tired of waiting.

I like the idea of the zero glide. Did yours arrive in the end? Would like to try this for my own build.

FWIW, I tried to order one their zeroglides but failed. I even tried shipping to my son in NY, but all I got was an error saying "something went wrong". No account or card issues, but I suspect their authorisation checker rejects non-US payments. I've had that from several US-based sites.
