In this video we'll take a look at a Gibson ES Les Paul and the work which was needed to make it play much, much better than when it arrived.
The problems included nut slots that were far too high from the factory, frets that needed attention (again from the factory) and some detailing to the bridge saddles before finally doing the proper set-up work.
The end result is a fantastic ES Les Paul which plays great, feels great, and sounds great.
This guitar is SOLD

Had this guitar had a refret? It has no nibs on the ends of the frets like normal Les Paul’s. The bridge saddles seemed to al over the place too. They normally come with 3 one way and 3 the other.

These were the original frets as far as I can tell. The edge of the fingerboard was rolled off in a really weird way and it’s not unusual from Gibson’s I’ve seen over the years. I’ve had a few different ES Les Pauls around this same time and even when the nibs have been there they are so small at the bottom of the fret end they’re barely noticeable. *After further review: It does not appear the ES Les Paul has binding nibs from the factory. I’ve been looking at pictures online to refresh my memory. I’ve personally had three of these but only made this one video.

They stopped doing nibs for about a year. Some 2014 and 2015 models don’t have fret nibs. Or if it’s a Memphis guitar, perhaps they don’t do nibs?
