I've heard that the reason Taylor guitars tune so well is because of string compensation at the "nut".
I don't mean individual string compensation, but instead merely the marginal forward shifting of the entire nut (to be closer to the 1st fret) from where it would normally be. The idea being that this makes intonation more accurate on the first 3 or 4 frets, without adversely affecting intonation higher up the neck.
Does anyone know if Taylor guitars does this with the nut placement?
