Zero Glide Nuts, and review.

[DrNomis_44]

Gee Doc, that really does sux...
Send Stewmac an email with your observations, I have a feeling we will be seeing these zero nuts in the close out section before too long....

Stewmac invited me to write a review on the Zero Glide Nuts last night so I did, after I submitted my review I had to wait for it to be moderated,not sure if they have posted my review yet though, I gave it a rating of two stars out of five.

And you're absolutely right about it mate, I might see if I can get the dimensions of the original nut and pm them to you so I can order a bone nut if you're able to make one for us, maybe that's what I should have done in hindsight.


Actually, if I were to order one of the Bone Nut upgrades for LP kits what are the chances that it would fit in the nut trench on my LP Studio?, I think the nut trench is about 5mm wide.


Update:

I just checked on the Stewmac webpage and they still haven't posted the review I submitted last night.

Update:


I've come to the conclusion that I feel like I'm done with Gibson Guitars and their tuning-stability issues due to their design flaws, so, I'm thinking of junking the Chibson Angus SG for spare parts since I can't justify spending any more money on it, I've probably put more money into it than it would have been worth brand new, it's a Chinese Gibson fake after all, if it had been a real genuine Gibson like my LP Studio it would have been an entirely different matter, anyway, the SG is going into storage in my bedroom wardrobe for the time being, going to use the pots and pickup switch for my PRS SE Custom 24 guitar.


I'm going to leave my LP Studio alone for the time being rather than continue futzing with it, I'll probably only end up making it worse.

Doc sure down the track you will pull the SG out and finish off the upgrades. Can you just put a bone nut in ?

Yeah, I guess I suppose I could order a PBG Bone nut for it later on wokka, I will need to invest in a set of fret-leveling tools at some stage to get rid of the severe fret-buzz at around the 14th or 15th fret on the high E-String, I had a look at the fret-leveling tools on offer at Stewmac, a bit expensive for my budget at the moment, I might see if I can get the tools I need later on this year mate.


I'm planning on ordering my very first PBG kit this coming fortnight, it's the STA1-M kit, so after that my money's going to be a bit tight.

No problems with cutting you a nut to suit, just put the relevant measurements in the customer notes box and it will happen.

Sometimes it takes SM a few days to update feedback, I have left a few less than flattering reviews and they posted those...
Sure hope they haven't changed their policy of being up front on their product reviews.

No worries mate, I'll wait till next Tuseday to get it all sorted out, then I can get the nut ordered at the same time when I order my first PBG kit.

Will pm you the dimensions, cheers DB.

stewmac arent the only sellers of tools, I've found Realparts here in Aus good to deal with

DB bone nut will be the goods surely.

Larry Carlton uses a graphtec nut on his number 2 guitar, and gives it a good wrap.

Cheers stan, I might see how my budget is and check out Real Tone's range of tools, I may be able to get what I need from them at cheaper prices, thanks for reminding me about that.

Also, you can get some reasonable tools off fleabay, if you intend to only use them occasionally that is.....
