[Gibson LP Studio Won't Stay in Tune - The Saga Continues]

All,

 

I posted on here a while back about the fact that my Gibson Les Paul Studio wouldn't stay in tune. I ordered it new from my local GC last year. The initial problem was that the G string wouldn't stay in tune after I would play guitar solos. Now, the G, B, and high E strings won't stay in tune when I play guitar solos. I had the guitar set up with my local luthier after I received the guitar. I then had him do a second "set up," after explaining to him that the guitar would not stay in tune. When I got the guitar back the second time (about two to three months ago), it did stay in tune pretty well for a while. Now, it goes out of tune whenever I play it and start bending the G, B, and high E strings. If I were to gig with this guitar, it would be a total embarrassment on stage, as I would have to stop in the middle of songs several times to retune. I'm at the point now where I might just put the guitar up for sale on Craigslist. On the other hand, I'd hate to part with it, after spending so much money on it. What else can I do to keep the guitar in tune? Should I spend more money than I already have to have a new nut installed? Should I replace the stock tuning machines? I would appreciate any help with this ongoing issue.

 

 

Just saw this post. Didn't bother readingn down through the responses but sound like you need to lube up that nut!!! Big Bends Nut Sauce is a must. Your guitar should always have it on it.

This is my new LP Traditional Mahogany Satin. Got it a week ago and I'm in love with it. Kicked the crap out of the Standard I played on the same day in the shop, and 600 Euro cheaper!!!
