Hi,
Yesterday, After a long hard decision between the traditional and the HP, I ended up getting the 2018 Les Paul HP in cobalt.
It came tuned in E and was almost perfect. However, as i mostly play songs by slash or guns n roses, I normally play in Eb. When attempting to tune it down to that though, it is almost impossible to get it correct.
The guitar has locking grover tuners and no auto tune. when tuning, I can get all of the strings in tune but when I go back to the 6th to check everything is still in tune, the E A and D strings are all only just still in the flat range and almost back in standard tuning, no matter how many times i stretch the string and retune. Each string seems to have a big effect on the others.
The guitar is great to play and looks stunning but the tuning is a real issue.
Is there a way to fix this or should I take it back to the store and ask them to look at it.
It still has the original strings on it from gibson. 9s I think.
I thought it could be because the strings are thinner but havent changed them yet.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
