I wrote another review about Zero Glide and my Gold Tone OB 150 banjo. As many already know the Zero Glide Nut is standard equipment on the OB 150 banjo. Gold Tone has this nut on other instruments too. I like this nut system for a lot of reasons. I installed a Zero Glide nut on my Martin D custom and I even installed a Zero Glide on my Washburn M3SWK F body mandolin. Those stock plastic nuts on many of the entry level pro instruments just does not cut it. You are cheating yourself and your audience out of a lot of tone and sweetness that ears should be hearing. The Zero Glide nut does a world of wonders for my instruments. Do yourself a favor and get one on your axe. You may love it. I know I do. I am addicted to Zero Glide.

"I have a BC-350 banjo with the zero glide nut. It has been problem-free but I'm curious how this is an improvement over the zero nut found on budget European guitars since practically the beginning of time. I repaired instruments for decades and always regarded the zero fret as a marker of an inferior mass-produced instrument. No criticism of the Gold Tone zero glide is in any way implied here but I am confused."
