"...The neck is too bowed for fretting, but the string height isn't high enough for sliding. I decided to give this Grover nut a try...." Read more
"...has just a little overhang, just evened it up on both sides...sets strings up niceWe" Read more

I might try filling it down to see if I can get it low enough for fretting and still be able to play slide
Fair price and quick shipping
Because it is easy to remove/add, I'm looking forward to having the ability to take it off of my acoustic and put it onto my electric whenever I feel like it. It does what it's supposed to, and it is solidly built. I'm not sure what else I'd be looking for in this kind of product. I can't speak to the slot sizes on this nut, but I haven't had any issues playing with the one I ordered, so it worked out for me. I'd recommend this product if you're looking for a cheap and effective way to convert over to slide guitar.
