Nunya Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Greetings all! I have recently purchased my first Les Paul 😁 and in my enthusiastic research I have read about the stop bar tailpiece height, string break angle and leaning/broken bridges. Does mine look ok? This is how I bought it (new from a dealer)and am now sufficiently paranoid that I wanted to reach out to those with extensive experience to determine if it’s ok, or if I should raise the stop bar or wrap the strings to avoid any problems in the future. The overall setup feels great, fwiw. No buzzing. Easy playability. And that sustain! 😎 Thanks in advance for your advice!

Pinch Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 You can let it go completely. That looks perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Most Gibsons these days come like that (and have for at least several years). Do I think it helps with the sustain? I do. Can I prove it? Maybe, but not gonna tamper with a good thing. Either way, yours is just fine, so you can relax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunya Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 Thanks. I did go by a local shop after I posted and saw many Les Pauls similarly set up, which made me feel better that mine was not a “ticking bomb”, if you will. Not that it was that big of a deal, but you get my drift. Thanks for responding…especially with good news, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
