Hi everyone, became a proud owner of a Hummingbird Studio Walnut last week. The guy pointed out to me that there’s staining problems on it, the saddle has some staining that’s slightly leaked over onto the finish of the body of the guitar, he told me that before i purchased it, and he did seem genuine.
Is this just a thing with Gibson sometimes with the fact these are hand crafted , I don’t mind it brings character to the guitar, but would mind if there’d been extra work carried out for some reason.
Also changed the strings yesterday, when removing all of the strings to apply lemon oil the nut dropped off.
Are the nuts removable? Or supposed to be glued ?
The bridge pins weren’t a snug fit either, they kept popping out when trying to wind the strings on, is this usual ?
