The Gibson LP's system (as far as I remember) though is height adjustible unlike the pickture you shared though. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

As you know I am practising a lot of bendings at the moment. The problem is that I can tune the string after each second bending... and that is really sh..... The string jams in the nut.... So I have decided to buy an zero glide nut... Hi Mertay... my LP from 2014 has no adjustable nut... (I think only the 2015 models) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You'll probably need a luthier to replace the nut anyway, let him worry about it You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I did watch the video, if you have the proper tools yeah it seemed do-able. Just keep in mind the neck angle must already be at your prefered perfect spot, if tightened more afte the nut is instealled the open strings might buzz. Also, don't go too safe with the height as if too high then playing comfort will be degreded. Let us know how it goes You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Time for replacement, 1,5 h. The most exciting thing was to remove the old nut. It is very important to score the edges of the old nut along the neck and fingerboard with a razor blade, otherwise the coating can be damaged....
