So about a month ago i purchased a Gibson Les Paul Studio Premium Plus. i really love the way it looks and plays but i have some real issues with it that are making me consider taking it back and exchanging it for a different guitar.
First off, the intonation is not so good. i've tried adjust it myself but i've had no luck.
Second, i primarily play metal and this thing just sucks at holding tuning. i have heavy strings on it too (ernie ball not even slinkies .12-.52) and it just seems like i'm always tuning it.
Third, the action seems pretty bad and i've tried adjusting it myself but i just can't seem to get it to where i want without having some fret buzz.
I really hate the fact that this brand new guitar, which i paid a lot of money for, has all of the above issues and i REALLY hate the fact that i need to take it to a good guitar tech to have that all looked at.
Do you guys think it would be worth it to have a real tech fix all of the above stuff or do you think i should just take it back?
i'm just so torn because i love this guitar but maybe it just isn't for me
