It stays in tune now and has much better action. **Q: is this the same as the ZS1 listed in the zero glide site which is for Gibson electrics?** A: Yes it is. The zeroglide models with different dimensions have different model numbers. This worked fine in my Gretsch. **Q: Does this work on epiphone les paul guitars?** A: I have put these on an Epiphone Sheraton and an Epiphone Wildkat with great results - they all have the same measurements as Gibson guitars. **Q: Will it fit a yairi dy-45?** A: different models may fit , best to check dimensions on the neck and match up to the provided charts on the Zero Glide website ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big upgrade for small price *by B***T on Reviewed in Canada on 11 March 2020* There is no better way to set the action at the nut. If you use a standard nut, you have to leave it a little high to allow for nut wear over time. Zeroglide matches the height of the other frets and you get perfect action; my guitar went from a finger-killer to easy playability. (Its former owner used it as a steel guitar, the action was so high)Because a ZeroGlide doesn't require you to modify the guitar itself in any way, it won't devalue a collectable like mine. I can reinstall the original nut when I want to without any harm.To fit the nut, I used #120 sandpaper stuck to a flat surface and sanded the nut down to fit into the nut slot exactly. It's a hard material but sands readily.The first picture is a ZeroGlide on my Fender; the nut is a blinding white. I wanted my 1986 Ibanez to have a darker nut to match its aged white binding. I boiled it for a minute in tea. It took the color easily and actually got a little _too_ dark. I suspect the tea color will fade over time, so I'm leaving it dark.My frets didn't come color coded, but that really didn't matter for installation. I tried each and used a steel ruler to test for height. Snipped fret with cutters slightly long. The ends filed easily to shape and final length.Now my Ibanez has perfect action from the first to the 22nd fret. I just love it, well worth the investment.Pictures: The first is a plain ZeroGlide on my Fender classical. The second is the dyed nut on the Ibanez. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality *by S***R on Reviewed in Canada on 1 July 2020* I have zero glide nuts on a few guitars now. They are easy to work with especially for people who don't want to buy a regular nut and shape it. These are easy to install but expect to spend an hour or so sanding the nut height and width to match your guitar. If you take your time to install one of these it's very easy to get it right so you don't have to pay a luthier to do it. ### ⭐⭐⭐ I guess I kinda like it? *by K***A on Reviewed in Canada on 13 June 2020* It works as advertised, but I guess I'm just disappointed that it costs so much for something so simple and easy to manufacture. Also, it does take a LOT more work than their Youtube videos make it look. Not as much as full-on Luthier work, but time consuming nonetheless. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/53672479-zero-glide-zs-5-slotted-replacement-nut-for-guitars-common](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/53672479-zero-glide-zs-5-slotted-replacement-nut-for-guitars-common) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
