    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.

    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.
