I think Mucas Felidae was referring to the "saddle" as in bridge had to be higher. I have an Earvana compensated nut on this guitar.

@MucusFelidae I was always a big fan of the zero fret concept. I just don't understand why so few companies use it. Seems like it was used mostley on European guitars from the 50s and 60s.........didn't you mean that the nut has to be a little "lower" with zero fret? If it's higher it will not rest against the zero fret.

[MucusFelidae]

That would be a no-issue if the manufacturers would install a zero fret.

But there is also a disadvantage to this: the saddle must be a little higher then.

Sounds like a sensible procedure!
