I was messing around and took a spare fret, and wedged it up next to the nut acting as "zero fret", put some notches in it so the strings would pass from the nut through the fret.
Well, I noticed my nocaster sounded a lot sweeter with open chords. I checked on a tuner, and usually notes will be sharp on the 1st-3rd fret no matter how light you press. They all came up almost dead on!!! Even the G string! The third in the E chord sounded beautiful. I'm seriously considering the Feiten thing.
But, I know it's more complicated than just moving the nut. The intonation is all tuned to offsets. With the nocaster and it's three barrel setup, this presents a problem. I wondered what you guys think.
