I can never seem to get my low E in tune, had this problem with more than one Les Paul. Even after professionally set-up, and adjusting the intonation/saddle. What gives? The Gibson site mentioned that this can sometimes happen, and you may need to try a different gauge on that one string. But, what way do I do? Lighter or heavier? I guess I have to try both. Anyone else ever had this problem.
I use Dadarrio 9's, and I've always used those on all my electrics. I also have an Ibanez as75 hollow body, the intonation on that was perfect, right out of the box from buying online. And that was only $375!
But I can't record with my $1000 Les Paul because the intonation bothers me.

Any suggestions?
