I just wanted to say that this solved my problem completely. I am now actually happy with this guitar! Thanks! Dan

I have to say, I've NEVER had to until now. My Strat played great in the shop. 8 years later, not a single set up.... still plays perfect. Les Paul... same thing. No issues at the shop when I bought it.... well taken care of = no issues. This particular guitar (61 reissue) has a problem. I've never owned a Gibson with tuning issues like this. or any guitar actually. Seen it lots of times on really cheap guitars, but never on something like this. Someone at Gibson should be checking this out, because this is a problem specific to the 61 reissue. A quality control issue as far as I can tell.

yeah, I have this problem as well. Very frustrating. I appreciate the tips though. Im going to check out the nut and see if I can get this to work properly. Playing a whole song in tune on this $2000 guitar would be pretty sweet. hope it happens. on a related note. EVERY 61 reissue I tried had this problem. And I played alot of them. The one I picked was the least offensive, and it's a real pain in the ***. I assumed that once I changed the strings, Id be all set, but it's still the same. Hopefully the suggestions regarding the nut help out. Would be great to hear someone from GIbson reply. I own quite a few guitars, 2 other gibsons (SG standard, and LP traditional), non of which have this kind of an issue. It's such a nice guitar, but you guys have a problem here. This isn't right.
