I just realized that I did happen to have a set of strings that I had been reserving for my PRS SE Custom 24 guitar, it was a set of Elixir 42-09 gauge strings though but I decided to use them to re-string my LP Studio, been playing my LP Studio a bit and I have definitely noticed a worthwhile overall improvement in the sound of the guitar, it definitely sounds alot more tuneful to my ears, there is practically no difference in tone when you play a string open to when you fret a note on the same string, I also noticed that the strings don't go out of tune by much if they do go out, it doesn't take much to put them back into tune, you don't get the binding in the nut slot like you do with a traditional nut, I tried playing a C-Major chord right down at the nut end of the fingerboard and it did sound alot more in tune to my ears which wasn't the case with a traditional nut, the 1st Fret action on my LP Studio is really nice now and fretting a string behind the 1st fret is real easy, I won't post a demo clip of the LP Studio as it is now because I want to wait till I get the proper gauge strings, but I will say that it was definitely worthwhile doing the Zero Glide nut-install on my LP Studio.
Also I would like to add that the strings do not buzz against the 1st fret despite the low 1st Fret action, I also don't hear any wavering in tone when I play one of the strings open too, the string seems to sustain alot better with absolutely none of the Sitar-Buzzing that can plague traditional nuts if the nut slots aren't cut properly.
The Zero Glide Nut basically takes all the guesswork out of getting the nut slots and the 1st Fret action right.
My experience with the new Zero Glide nut has so far been a good one and I'm happy.
So, for me the new Zero Glide Nut is a keeper.
