Does anyone have any thoughts on the concept of the new Gold Tone Zero Glide Nut, before I spend 30.00 dollars to try one.

I don't have any experience with this, but as Wayne notes in the video, I have observed that playing capo'ed is way easier than playing uncapo'ed, and it's conceivable that this would provide similar playability at first position. I'm skeptical of the claim that the nut would make any difference to keeping the instrument in tune. The question I would ask is what mods are required to the headstock/fingerboard to install it? Is it possible to revert to a traditional nut without it looking like crud?
