Zero fret works very well, intonation is very close to be perfect and no string buzz at all

You are welcome Gary. I used a Jumbo for the Zero and standard frets form the rest.

Thanks Rob.  I've seen descriptions both ways (higher and same height) - slightly higher makes the most sense to me.  Gotta order some taller frets and try it out!

I love zero nuts. Easy to do. Real clean looking. Nice job

Its slightly taler. If you search here on cigarboxnation about Zero fret, you find a very good decription how it works and how to build it. In combination with a bolt on neck (for adjustment of the neck angle) you will get a perfect string hight and fantastic playability.

Nice Rob!  So - is the zero fret identical to the other frets, or slightly taller?
