The Zero Glide design has the extra fret touching the nut. If you just have an ordinary extra fret fitted there can (probably must) be a short distance between it and the nut. One of the claims for the zero fret is that it improves playability. If you are trying to cram three fingers behind the first fret the nut can be a bit annoying if you have old bent fingers like mine! A zero fret displaced from the nut can help, With a capo the problem disappears. I thought I got what you were saying, but I re-read it multiple times and I still don't get it. Please, can you try to explain in another way? It sounds like you're talking about the distance between the zero fret and the first fret being shorter in the zero-glide design as compared to longer in the Bellido design. What difference does this distance make? If the distance is longer (zero-glide), then you have more room to place multiple fingers between the zero fret and the first fret, so the way I see it, the zero-glide design should allow more room for your fingers. What difference does it make if the barrier to your fingers is the nut or the zero fret? They're both physical impediments... Am I misunderstanding?
