NeoConMan Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Hi guys. I just got my first Gibson, and I'm PUMPED!!! It's a brand new Les Paul Custom, red and kinda yellow in the center. Couldn't beat the price - $1,500. I'm having trouble with the intonation no matter what I do. The neck seems to be the problem because the bridge can't be adjusted any lower. Should I unbolt the neck and see if it can be adjusted or shimmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrosurfer1959 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I'm sure it's fine Neo just make sure you have the hard plastic fretboard since wood can warp. And if the neck gets to bad maybe superglue will work? Hey NeoCon you about ready for summer to be over yet? the older I get the hotter it seems years ago I use go out shooting and even play golf hee and now hell I don't even like to go get the mail until after sundown.

WahKeen Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 If its got Jimi Hendrix autograph on the headstock you got a real Gibson son. I've got a LP Standard signed by Les Paul. I practically stole the thing if I told ya how much I paid for it. Yeah, it was signed April 1, 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 whoa unbolt the neck???? gibsons NEVER have bolt -on necks, so you probably have a fake gibson My neck isn't a set or a bolt on, just kinda slides in. Apparently, its a limited edition, the guy told me I couldn't find another one like it... I can change out necks anytime I want, he told me it was special from the Custom Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those were GOTM or GOTW or something. Rare find indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahKeen Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Mine, you can slide and clip the pickups. It's called Snap-On Pickups, and the patent is pending adding more to the PAF value. Yeah, it's even rarer than the 1964 Les Pauls they made... I got it for only $50. I don't think the old lady knew what she had at her garage sale, lol! I feel bad for her..... NOT!!
