    So, I found a zero fret for this in the dungeon of the internet. We'll see if it shows up. Lol

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

    https://goldtonemusicgroup.com/zeroglide/

    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!...). Looking at the fretboard, and it's already slotted for a zero fret! Click image for larger version.

    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.
