Interesting. I think that the zero-fret I am now installing on my guitars will turn out to be all the compensation I need on that end of the guitar.

This is the one I was looking for...but I wouldn't post it due to it's "Other links".
Be sure all read #1; #2; #3 AND I recommend reading the GAL article, it's a much more thorough explanation with much more practical application. You can get a back issue copy of AL#92 at the Guild of American Luthiers site.

The zero fret or the one I used the eNut http://www.monteallums.com/eNut_Installation.html worked fine for me, I like the metal version and it's easy installed...it's also used by Terry Mc Arthrur at the TNM site.

I knew Terry when we were 15 years old. Check it out...He's a Master Craftsman....and a Gentleman to boot....even if he is 70 like me.. :>)
