Indivudual height adjustable nuts

I'm designing and creating a new unique piece of equiptment for my signature guitar line, and would like your opinion of if it would interest you in shopping for a custom shop to build your guitar.

I know everyone who plays a guitar or bass with individual bridges absolutely loves them and loves the concept of individual string tones.. well these individual nuts take that concept and makes it true for the entire length of that string. I can't post pictures yet because I haven't made them, and I don't want to post my 3D design pictures because I'm still contemplating a patent, but the strings will rest on .115" "poles" that can be adjusted for height as well as filing with a fret file to dial in the perfect string height. They will be very user friendly, very small and they wont be too... "mechanical looking", very simple and sleek.. and I will send replacements if people want to change to bigger strings... made of brass and nickel plated. Any input?

- Will post some pics soon btw.

I think that's really cool! I'd definitely be interested in hearing a guitar with that setup vs one without .

best of luck sir!

3 cheers for free gear!

Awesome idea if it works! Isn't this similar to Warwick's just-a-nut for bass?

This sounds like a good idea. I really like the height adjustable nut on my Yamaha RGX621 and I'd love to see individually adjustables....
