jgudy13 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Is this normal? Poor craftsmanship? Fixable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hello and welcome. Different height is to compensate for the thicker strings.. the other way to do it is to make the nut slots deeper which as far as I know (well on Gibsons anyway due to the extreme headstock and string angle) is the wrong way.. that will cause binding. If it plays ok don't worry about it.. if it doesn't then getting a new nut is easy and not too expensive.. but it looks ok from what I can see.

sheraton Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I noticed this on a 2014 Les Paul Traditional. Kinda ugly but .......................... must be what they do to save a cent or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
