What he’s trying to say, if your screw is to big for the plate hole (but fits the pickup)
use a tap that matches your replacement screw threads and tap the plate to fit the screw. As it appears that you’re not getting a screw “stock” to fit
btw how the heck does one ‘wear out’ a pickup adjustment screw?

335 wiring is a pain as it’s installed through the F holes (the reason they’re called that) 😂
just bring it to the shop they should be able to fix/replace the volume control
btw watch out you don’t have the pickup selector in the middle position
both volume controls effect volume of guitar

You have to remember this is a forum of Gibson owners not a Gibson customer service
custom shop serial number are different than the standard 1&5 serial number decoding
probably be best to send pictures to Gibson customer service
-
You’ll need to post some pictures using an imaging site like imgur.com for anyone here could take a look.
serial number alone won’t verify it.

Pretty easy google,
standard is 5/64 low E, 4/64 high E measured own at 12th fret
at first fret open string just clears the fret as you don’t want it to buzz
that capo fret 1, hold 17th down, this creates a ‘straight edge’
measure at 7th fret 4thou to 8thou
hint standard paper is 4thou thick and 8 folded over,
a standard business card is 12thou
make sure gap st 7th fret is 1 to 2 pieces of paper

I seem to remember reports of people that had the faded finishes way back in like 2007-2009 that would get this
haven’t heard on this in a very long time,
believe everyone was saying super thin finish on these faded’s
if you do a search on this forum should show up unless they deleted some of the forum history

The line on the nut is the nitro finish “cut” line where the paint masking tape is.
its nitro over the nut as it’s a time to mask the nut

@Sheepdog1969 who is : John Bonomassa
there is a Joe Bonamassa and he's pretty darn good with history of guitars
-
@yarns nobody attaches pictures straight in
we all have to use a picture hosting site like imgur.com and paste the jpg link here

The real question is: does it feel smooth or notched out like a chip
smooth means just glitch in finishing
notched means it got banged somewhere
that heal also might take a lot of rubbing every time it’s in n out of a case

It’s a double neck from what I understand
I think they computer scanned his EDS1275

Price increases have nothing to do with a current government, same argument for more than 100yrs, want some tea?
all prices go up yearly regardless if JFK was in.
check out a price of a car in 2022 then today in 2024, poof, in “old days” cars increased in Sept.Gibson seems to increase in new yrs/spring.
Now i just have to figure out how to pay for bread and milk , how much is a gallon of gas?

Think I saw this posted on the Les Paul Facebook group and there are some very knowledgeable Gibson employees on that group.
only one I can think of who studied pickups that closely is Seymour Duncan or MJ his master winder.
maybe fling them an email
-
@Apostlerock um you have a 17 yr old guitar that’s got a crack.
it probably should have a number of dings and scratches in it by now if it was played , esp if played live.
even in a church I’ve wacked my guitar (unintentionally) into a mic stand or music stand.
-
Not sure but I follow Johnny A on Facebook and he seems to respond to people.
maybe he knows

Looks like what is called “orange peel”
that’s where the buffing wheel can’t get into a spot to smooth out the nitro

LPCS in the hand written pickup cavity
those are codes to the finishers
if yours was a Custom Shop the serial number on the head stock would start CS
as for pickups, you either like them or you don’t
wouldn’t worry about trying to put it back to factory,, many pickup manufacturers, pick ones you like
-
Nitro will blend into itself
buffing the daylight’s out of it will remove the nitro
if you’re into DYI , get some nitro from Stewmac and spray a new coat
your results may vary
