Gibson j 200 elite3/30/2024 ![]() In my opinion, any new guitar that needs to have its bridge slotted for good playing action has a problem it shouldn't have. I really dont want to mess about and install a non-original pickup and surely Gibson wouldn't let it leave the factory needing a neck reset? Would anyone contemplate that in this situation? Any advice greatfully received! I love the look and the tone of the guitar but I am worried that I am not going to be able to get it set up how I like it. ![]() He is suggesting that this could be soled by installing a piezo pad pickup instead. Also, when I plug it in I get poor treble response from ther under saddle pick up, again my luthier is suggesting that there is not enough pressure on the saddle due to the break angle on the upper strings. ![]() The saddle is lowish, but there is still a bit left that could be dropped (my Yamaha has a lower saddle but the bridge pins are closer to the saddle as it doesnt have the albalone inlay in between, increasing the break angle on that). It now measures about 3mm (1/8th of an inch) between the top of the fret and the bottom of the string on the low E at the 12th fret and a bit lower on the high E, which is a bit higher than I would like - I like a fairly low action. I have just had it at my luthier for a set up and while he has brought down the action a bit he was concerned about bringing it down any further due to the break angle on the top couple of strings. I bought a new Gibson SJ-200 custom elite about a month ago (it was made in March this year). ![]()
