Hey all,

After 28 years, the LP of my dreams is mine!









I named her Sunny. It’s gonna be a good year.

Fixed, they should be visible now.

Congrats. Nice one. Enjoy in good health. ?

Considered a Bourbon/Brock, or a Factory? The color is hard to tell [for me] from the pics.

[Jethro Rocker]

Beauriful flame! Congrats!
Fantastic guitar

 

[renderit]

Gorgeous coloration and flame!

 

[mrmorrison]

Thanks guys! She’s a factory burst, with the edges in dark cherry. The nitro smells magnificent.

 

[Midnight Blues]

Very nice! Congrats, HNGD

and play her in good health!

 

[El Gringo]

Mega congrats on a most beautiful Les Paul !

 

[Stoj]

Congrats, that's a beauty ?

 

[mrmorrison]

Guys, I love this guitar so much, but it won’t hold tune. I feel it’s complete sacrilege to change out the tuners to Grover Rotomatics, but I’ve always had good luck with them. Are they direct drop ins?

 

[corpse]

A Dutchburst.
Ok- new strings or the strings it came with? It is probably the nut slots not the tuners. All my LP’s have stock tuners and they work fine.

 

[danzego]

So good. Congrats!

Like corpse says, provided you're stringing it properly, it's 99% likely to be a poorly cut nut, for which Gibson has a reputation of doing--even with Custom Shop models. Replace the nut with a quality bone nut and it will be rock solid.

 

[mrmorrison]

Thanks guys!! I’ll have a bone nut installed and fingers crossed it works. These are new strings that were properly stretched, so that can’t be the issue.

 

[DrewB]

It shouldn't need a new nut. The slots just need to be filed correctly.

 

[corpse]

Sand the sides of the slots slightly with some Emory cloth. Just 3-5 passes on each side (not the bottom).
