    Hmmmmmm... Not bad at all.. But for $38 plus postage it does seem a tad expensive. Also I see the slots are not compensated.
    But having said that, it should work OK.
    Should be easy enough to knock one of these puppies up so I will try it and let ya know what I think

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    the mosrite has a zero fret with a nut in front of that, so be keen to hear what Gav T thinks of this for open strings.
    I'm yet to finish mine, too many other builds on at the moment.
    Sure DB will advise me to use it as firewood being such a Mosrite fan hahah

    I'm more of a person who doesn't really believe much until I have proof, and I'm still waiting to find out if these are actually good!

    But if it works, it's a really nice idea!

    My Shergold Masquarader also has a zero fret, having owned it since new in 1976 I guess you could say I'm happy with the way it intonates and plays.
