  1. Q1."Strings that don't sound when played open are sitting on the frets."A1.the hell you say? Q2."If it was played a short time and put away, how did that happen?" A2.yea that was the question" Q3."What does the bridge look like?" A3.looks like a Tone Pro locking Tune-O-Matic The material must be Zamak oh and its gold, Q4."nut?" A4.white Tektoid say about 1.695" wide. Q5."Are the strings laying on the frets?" A5.yes Q6."How does a guitar go from the greatest Explorer ever to unplayable while sitting in a case?" A6.I don't recall saying it was he greatest explorer ever, I may have said it was my dream guitar and I said it had low action and played very nicely, again how did that happen, yea that's part of the question? Q7."Could the pridge posts have been turned accidentally?" A7.um no, no they could not. Q8."Can you not turn the bridge posts and lift the strings?" A8.yes I could, I have set up many guitars over the years but no I find me or paying someone to fix something I shelled out 2k for in unacceptable. your Statement "Yes, this is the internet. Gripe away and do nothing, or try a few things to ease this "unplayable" condition your guitar has so mysteriously gotten into all by itself." --My whole statement was "You are asking “what is unplayable?” oh I thought you read what I had posted before you replied, well this is the internet." I made this statement because you were asking me questions in a fairly condescendingly flavor that I had clearly already given answers to in the my first post and now that I have called you on the condescending oversight you make that statement that I suppose is suppose to make me look like the bad guy. The only thing I have really got from all your posts are that for some reason you feel free to attack my character with insinuations of my lack of knowledge or to insinuate that I am somehow being dishonest and caused this problem myself like you did in your last statement when you said "unplayable" condition your guitar has so mysteriously gotten into all by itself." I guess since that's cool for you to attack my character without knowing a thing about me I should take the same liberty with yours and say furthermore my remark about the internet was because it doesn't matter what message board someone goes to there you are. I mean not you but someone just like you. Someone posts something asking for help or an opinion and there is someone like you offering zero help and trying to make that person look bad, or unknowledgeable, implying that they are the problem, some will even resort to attacking someone's grammar and many other things in an effort to look good. I suppose you people do this because these internet message boards are the only little world where you feel you are important and relevant. You must really think that the other members reading your posts think you are the all-knowing grand wazoo. I can tell you from the messages I have been getting from people they think something entirely different of you. Who knows maybe because you post here none stop you feel this is your turf and it's your right to hassle anyone new, if that's the case I think you are missing the point of message boards. Who knows maybe in some twisted way you think you are helping someone and if that's the case please stop. Now ZuWa who started this thread said "Please participate and tell us about your Lzzy Explorer. These guitars are selling out everywhere - I believe the total production will be under 200." Somehow I took this as tell us all about your guitar and buying experience etc... I did not see where it said only post positive feedback and do not report any problems you have had with your guitar. Seemed to me this was the perfect place to share my experience with this guitar. I thought perhaps someone else might have gone through a similar problem with their guitar and could tell me how they got it resolved through Gibson or even just tell me how to get Gibson to respond to messages I have sent them regarding the matter. To those of you that have sent me messages thank you for your support and humor about all of this. Thank you again
  2. You are asking “what is unplayable?” oh I thought you read what I had posted before you replied, well this is the internet.
  3. So what I am saying no body has touched this guitars set up besides Gibson when it got the magical PLEK’d set up and now it has been played under an hour and it is currently unplayable. The action was very low the way it came from Gibson and it played very nicely. So you are saying my lack of knowledge about the plek machine is the cause of my problems and I should just be happy to look at this guitar and not bother Gibson or share my experience with others?
  4. Sorry to report I am currently very unhappy ,Ok I bought this guitar because of the specs, I am not a fan of LH but the guitar was almost the exact spec I have always wanted, white(not cream) gold hardware, etc.. everything except the pickguard. The guitar is currently unplayable. I brought this guitar home played for maybe ½ hour put it in its case and I have been working out of town since with only brief moments back home. Now I am back home I pull the guitar out and it is unplayable fret buzz, many frets are dead, the E,B,G strings wont even sound when struck open. Huber&Breese tells me to give them some cash and they will make it play again. This seems ridiculous to me, aren’t these guitars supposed to be PLEKed and have the ultimate in low/action playability clear clean sounding that cannot be achieved with human hands alone. And now I am supposed to PAY someone to start raising my action and filing my frets. This seems like an unacceptable situation. I have contacted Gibson through this site and I am currently waiting to hear what they have to say about it. As for right now my dream guitar is unplayable
  5. Thank you for the reply, I have talked to several people and yes they all want me to send the original or at least a tracing of it. I was hoping someone on the thread would know what the speck was. I can tell you for sure that it is not a 76 spec guard lol
  6. Does anyone know what pickguard spec is on this guitar? I want to order a white pearl pickguard for mine. I know it’s not a 76 spec.
