tlwwalker Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I've been saving my sheckels for a while as I have GASsed for a nice acoustic/electric. Got this used off E-bay. 9+ condition. My second Gibson; the first was my 2010 ES-335 Satin Black. Feels & sounds great. More later...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlwwalker Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Well, I have had this for a week, now. Still honeymoon time. Guitar came with original pickguard, but not installed. I put it on and it took a bit off the high end, tone-wise. I liked that. Two days later the pickguard began to lift at the sharp points; would not stay down. I removed it and the remaining adhesive with the help of naptha. I suspect the shelf life of the adhesive has expired after 8 years. I have some 3M double sided adhesive sheets for pickguards coming from StewMac.com. I will reinstall. The seller did a perfect setup before shipping; new strings of my choice, action and relief in perfect spec. I have sanded the saddle down and lowered the action to 4.5/64" on the bass and 3.5/64" on the treble side. No buzzing. I am a gentle player. Last night a heavier player used the guitar with no buzzing. This thing sounds great both plugged in and unplugged. And it is comfortable to play with very low fatigue. I am very pleased with this guitar purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
