  1. I did, it's called Ron Pace guitars. Suppose to be one of the best in town. My patience is running thin I am close to smashing it! I will probably contact the the Gibson rep again. They were willing to let me ship it to them so I might do that.
  2. OK...... Officially it is a Les Paul Studio. They simply call it a Studio. It's not an ES or SG Took it to another shop. This one was recommended by the Gibson rep I spoke with. Bottom line, this guitar will always have a buzzy sound according the the shop. I believe him since I have tried everything possible, and I let 3 shops look at it. They won't acknowledge it has a bridge or fret buzz, just a high resonate body (as Pinch mentioned) that makes it sound similar to a bridge buzz. In my opinion that makes it a P.O.S. Probably make a good looking lamp.
  3. Thanks guys, All screws are tight. I've adjusted the truss rod several times using Gibson specs provided with the guitar also raised and lowered string height. I even tried teflon tape on the bridge threads thinking maybe is was a poor fit. I'm headed for the pickups. I think the buzz originates in the body or still in the bridge, hard to tell.
  4. Thanks for the responses, I have been through this guy pretty thoroughly more than once, and as I mentioned I even handed to a shop. Still has the same problem. Bridge is not the spring type and is very solid. Tweaked and adjusted it to death, the only thing I have not done is remove the pickups and check the spring. Seems like the next logical step. You're are correct about Gibson QC, I am little disappointed.
  5. Thanks for the input Pinch. I called this topic fret/bridge buzz but I don't think it's actually in the frets. I think it's in the bridge and or the body. Like you said this body has a different sound than a solid body and maybe there is no cure but I hope there is, it aggravates me. I was hoping someone would pick up on the topic with the same problem that had found the fix. It would save me the trouble of searching, tweaking and adjusting some more. Merciful, it's not an ES, SG etc it is a studio.
  6. Pinch, Can I assume by your comment you have noticed a similar problem with one of your guitars? My other electric is a Fender, it has no such buzz, nor does my acoustic guitars. I just can't help believe there must be a way to correct this buzz. It annoys me. I have tried numerous things trying to resolve the issue. Everything from filing the bridge slots to make sure the angle was correct to adding teflon tape to the bridge threaded posts. I am beginning to wonder if the buzz/vibration passes through the pick mountings. It's going to piss me off one day and I am going to make a door stop out of the guitar!!
  7. Anyone out there own a late model Gibson Studio with a fret/ bridge buzz? I have owned this guitar about 10 months and taken to 2 different shops not counting all the things I tried myself but cannot get rid of the fret/ bridge buzz. I tend to think it comes from the bridge but I am not sure. I love the guitar but it is annoying and no one seems to see fix it. I can hear it clearly and so can others so why can’t they fix it? Anyone else have an issue with this? Is it just inherent to this model and you have to live with it?
