ekkerman Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hai everyone, after all the 2015 les paul line bashing i still bought one second hand and i am very pleased with everything! only issue is the constant tuning i have to do , the g force does work well but it still looses tuning quite fast , i wrapped the strings well and the g,b and e a little more as told by instruction vids. I keep hearing that it can be caused by the brass nut and there is a replacement you can get from gibson to tackle this problem but how do i get that and are there costs involved or is it service ? have a nice day everyone and greetings from the netherlands eric ekkerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Farnsbarns Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 If you bought it used you have no warranty. It's a good job it's perfectly fine, except the tuning, and the tuning stability, and the nut. I don't think the nut will cost much to buy and hopefully it will sort out the tuning issues.

merciful-evans Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I dont think the nut is available to buy. I just checked out the Gibson Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I missed the "second hand" mention, Farns is right, it's no longer under warranty, these do not transfer when ownership changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I bought my 2015 SG second hand and Gibson still sent me a new titanium nut. IF you have $20 and are interested there also the TUSQ replacement nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megafrog Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Gibson treats this more like a recall item than a warranty issue. I have the replacement titanium frets on my 2015s and it helps immensely. The sustain you get off of a titanium zero fret is amazing. It is worth giving them a call on it.
