Here's a link to Gibson's info - http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Support/SerialNumberSearch/Default.aspx I guess that 339 must be a 2012 model and 52,496 would be the production number - the 52,496th guitar from that production year. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Here's the final setup specs from a post by Dave at Gibson: Here's how Gibson - Memphis does the final setup on their instruments. Its a post from Dave at Gibson: Hi I'm David the final inspector at Gibson Memphis. I can give you the factory spec info. on our setups. You will need a mechanics rule to do this properly. To check neck relief: fret the low E at the first and 15th fret (not 12th) reach to the 7th fret and tap string. There should be a small space between string and fret - no thicker than a piece of paper. Do the same with the high E. ACTION: fret low E at first fret and measure the distance from the bottom of the to the top of the 15th fret. It should be 5/64". Do the same with the high E, measurement should be 3/64". Now measure the string height at the nut; underside of the string to the top of the fret. Low E and A should measure 2/64", D and G =1.5/64" and B and high E = 1/64". If string height at nut is correct, recheck string height at 12th fret with strings open. Measurement for low and high E's should be the same as measurement taken at the 15th. Pickups: Fret low E at 22nd fret and measure pickup height from underside of string to point on pickup closest to string. Bridge pickup should be 3/64" (I think the 3/64" is a typo, it should be 3/32") , neck pickup should be 4/32". Fret high E at 22nd fret, distance for both pickups should be 3/32". Play test: Play every string at every fret checking for buzzes. Bend High E string 1 and 1/2 steps, beginning at the sixth fret and ending at 22nd, checking for "choking" and to make sure string stays in nut notch. Each 1/64 of an inch equals about 0.4 mm, so, 1/64" = 0.4 mm. 2/64" = 0.8 mm. 3/64" = 1.2 mm. 4/64" = 1.6 mm 5/64" = 2.0 mm. 6/64" = 2.4 mm.

If the nut that's on there has been worked on a little, then it's probably not the nut that's the problem. Make sure you're stretching the strings when you tune. Like somebody else said, it might be the tuners but it's probably an issue with how you're installing and stretching your strings. Wound strings should be installed with about an inch of slack so you end up with about two and a half turns around the post when it's tuned. Unwound strings should have about another half inch of slack so they end up with three and a half turns around the post. Keep stretching them and retuning them until they cannot stretch any further. You will have to stretch and retune each string about five times before they're fully stretched.
