Micro-tonation

[elwoodblue]

Does anyone have any thoughts/experience/input concerning the microfrets philosophy of correcting intonation at the nut?
... because of the difference in action at the nut and the action of a fretted note.
 
I try not to sweat the small stuff...I really like learning about it .
I see now why a zero fret can be a logical solution, they always seemed strange to me until I got my first Mosrite ,now not so much.
 
 I guess it's time to pull out the strobe and see how much a finger pressure affects intonation on a guitar that has medium action.
 
thanks all

If it's setup correctly and you don't play ham-fisted, then it should be in tune as-is.
 
A zero-fret is simply an easy way to make sure the nut (zero-fret playing the part of the nut in this setup) is at the correct height.
 
The basses I've built had zero-frets, because I didn't want to suffer through cutting notches in nuts and screwing it up..
