New set of strings helps intonation dramatically.

Fortunately there are replacements available -- Kluson makes one. Not sure if it's the posts or the bridge, but I can get both. This guitar has been through hell -- neck reset and a refinish by Tim Huenke at Superior Guitar works (Gibson recommended). So I think its value as a pure collectible is a little diminished. But it's a great guitar when it plays in tune! All original hardware. Low impedance pickups, super clean, funky out of phase setting and impedance adjustment . . . so versatile.

Hi, I am the first and only owner of a '75 Les Paul Signature semi-hollow, low impedance etc. Recently I have been chasing down intonation problems, and I noticed that my bridge is tilted -- the bridge side sits lower than the neck side under tension and without tension, and with the strings slack, I can tilt the bridge forward and back. This results in the saddles actually being farther back when the strings are tightened. I am wondering if this is normal . . . or if, after 45 years, the bridge is worn and should be either replaced or the mounting surface resurfaced! Quote Edit

Tilted the other way

Add the first and only owner of a 1974 LP Signature, I could really use the photos of the wiring that vGrog took and sent to Boogiedude . . . Hands was removed for finish work on the body, and now does nor work properly . . . TIA
