Lowden guitars also use the pinless bridge, Sibelius. I don't like them personally, as I think it makes changing strings on stage a bit finicky, but that is purely personal prejudice from a traditionalist, and I can well understand that many people prefer them. You can't argue with the sound of a Lowden, after all.

The zero fret does NOT stand higher than the rest, btw. The main reason for having it is to avoid the tedious procedure of filing the nut slots to get the action right. Some luthiers will say that it makes the sound uniform so that every note is "fretted" even the open strings.

Personal prejudice again, I hate to see a guitar with a zero fret ...
