Keep on picking my friend! love that statement!

HI Dave ; what gauge strings are you using.? I took off a set of GHS 12-50 roundcore thinlines because they were buzzing pretty bad . Then I glued a .020 piece of wood to the saddle. Then I put on a set of Daddario phospher bronze 12-53. Now the action feels high and hard to fret... sorry to ramble ,just trying to figure it out .

I do love this guitar . I think mine is called an Original also. But I took the butterbeans of and installed Grovers... I don't know how to post pics ; sorry.

Well I had my Tech sand the frets down [$150] .it plays better! but I feel like I shouldn't need that on a guitar that is less than a year old. Oh well ;play on!

I bought this guitar about a year ago. I DO love it but ,it's off to a rocky start. First the under saddle pickup didn't pick up the low E string. Removed it for a k&k . Then one of the tuning pegs[Butterbeans] broke off. Gibson sent me a new set! Now my Luthier is finishing it up ; said the frets were all uneven. Well I hope this is the end of it!

Hi I bought this guitar less than a year ago. It is buzzing all over the place and just won't stay in tune. I adjust the truss rod and nothing changes. It is brand new. I changed out the butterbean tuners for Grover tuners. no diff. I am Not a tech by any means. If I take it back to where I bought it;they will have it for weeks. anything else to try? I know this is pretty vague but I'm ready to give up and sell it.

Thanks Bob , I called Bob ,nice guy and he is sending me a shim kit.

Good info. I wonder if they sell shims that are different widths. I don't feel qualified to do this work. I have done the business card deal but it didn't work for me.

Nice job!

I think my saddle was shaved down a little too much. I would like to buy a few of them to experiment . Where can I find them? I looked under accessories on this website but ;no go. Thank you.

I 'm sure this is an old worn out question but what kind and what gauge arte we using on this guitar? I am using GHS Thincore ;12-50. Roundcore kind of strings.

Great advice ! I did this and a little pencil,it seems like it is hanging in there .I can retune and it seems to be staying in tune. Thanks !

Hi guys ! I live in NJ, south jersey that is[ don't hold that against me , I'm a nice person] ha. Anyway I am 70 years old still work in the HVAC business ,this will be my last year. Raised three kids ,now it's just wife and I. I purchased my first Gibson about a year ago; an L-OO little blues guitar that I play Ragtimy blues on. I just fingerpick ,no flatpick. Love Doc and Chet pickin. I play either solo or with a trio at some breweries and wineries and farm mkts. .. well that 's my story and I'm glad I found this site!

I agree with that statement!

Yes that could be too.
