I was hoping to get advice on a problem I've been having with both of my Gibsons.
One is a 2016 Traditional, the other a 2012 traditional mahogany satin.
I have been setting up my guitars for 20 + years so I am familiar with truss rod/bridge/stop piece adjustments etc.
I have been getting buzzing on both and both necks are straight, also tweaked a little relief. The problem is even if I raise the bridge to uncomfortable action higher than I always have I still get buzz on open and fretted up to 5th fret or so.
I figured the frets may be uneven or the nut is too low .
Mind you the 2016 has new jumbo frets put on by prior owner.
I had a bone nut put on by a reputable place and when I got the 2016, it had new frets so I had the luthier check them out and make them perfect.
It was okay for a coupke of weeks but now buzzes as does the other guitar.
I never have this happen with my Fenders so what could be the cause?
Any feedback appreciated.
