yeah i realized that if you have a heavy hand you can make the notes sharper with too much pressure. Just realy asking why a brand new gibson les paul would be imposible to tune once the intination was set up, and if this an easy fix or that's just the way it's made and you have to live with it. Can't stand to play a guitar that was just tuned and a bunch of frets are out of key. and yes i can hear it without the tuner telling me so-that's why i checked this in the first place!!!! Thanks guys

got a new chromatic tuner and was trying it on my guitars and was amazed to learn that after i had set the intination and was perfectly in tune, there were several frets that were out of key.like on the low E string on the first fret the F note was sharp,on the third fret the G note was sharp, but as i moved up the neck once i got to the 7th fret( b note) it was in tune. The worst was the G string second fret which should be the A note, this was horribly sharp- almost a full A sharp.I then went to guitar center and tried several guitars there and found all but one were the same way.the only one that passed this test was a re-issue 59 les paul(ok no surprise there), but do i really have to spend $5,500.00 to get a guitar where all the frets are in tune? has anyone come across this and is there a fix for this or should i just live with a guitar some of the frets are out of tune?

hey kevina why do you hate the edge? you got to admit he's written some great songs and some great guitar riffs. I agree out of the 3 of them he doesn't fit. Page and White are out of the same mold, just love the guitar in it's purest form, while the edge is more modern, more into technology. I just wished one of them asked Page about his #1 les paul, would of loved to hear how he got it from joe walsh and if it influenced his writing great songs.

just came upon site today by way of seeing mojo on u tube. Have a '74 strat, Ibenez artcore and i just bought a new gibson trad. pro les paul goldtop. they are making it right now at the factory and it will take a few months till i get it. fell in love with the thin neck and the push pull volume knobs.not too crazy about the zebra pickups but i could allways change those.Always was a strat guy,just love the blues and singlecoil pickups,but this les paul lets you turn humbuckers into that telecaster sound.Really amazing. Have you guys seen "it might get loud". BEST MOVIE EVER !!!! ( sorry if it's already been discused here). If you haven't seen it see it NOW. OK i talked long enough got to get back to playing my strat.
