i have the same guitar and my favorite dark blue hoodie has stained the white. its just a good sign the guitar gets some love and doesn't get left in a corner.
holy shiz-nuts davey, i just did a setup and buff job on a standard faded for a buddy .right out of the store it had that same drywall plug in the hole for the strap button. i love gibson guitars but man they get away with some shit dont they?
Those blue dry wall plugs are put in there BY GIBSON. I'm not sure why, but they've been sticking those in there instead of getting a tight fit from the screws for quite a few years now
"A gopher hole for the strap button screw...waiting for a marsupial to crawl out and bite me..." ...holy shit, dude...I about fell out of the chair laughing!! I love your vids, man!!! Hilarious with tons of useful info. This is also what I do as a hobby, I rebuild and refurbish guitars for people...and occasionally pick up a decent guitar at the pawn shop and totally rebuild them for use in my home studio. I have learned TONS from your material...keep up the great work, dude. Your work is GREATLY appreciated!!!
For details on all the setup steps watch: How to set up your Gibson Les Paul with Kip Bradford, he has a step by step vid on the procedure, he also has one for Stratocaster. Good work Dave, wish I knew all of this neat stuff.
Dave, you have reached a high level in your art and I think you should give serious consideration for a signed and serial numbered sticker on all guitars that come your way. You are famous man and this is how you will be remembered by serious fans.
@@DavesWorldofFunStuff no need to thank me for your generosity of time and knowledge. Tis a rare breed that provide a chance to succeed, just made that up now ha 😉
You can also turn this into a geometry problem. The ratios work out when the bounce between the top of the fret and bottom of the string at the 3rd fret equal x2 the bounce between the 1st fret and bottom of the string.
Just to add my two cents... I believe the pinkish discoloration is actually the primer paint showing through. That's right. I have the exact same guitar and returned a first purchase after it did the same thing after only a short time of having it. Apparently, Gibson chose a weird kind of paint to put on these models and they ALL start to fade where your forearm lays over the back of the guitar! As proof that the paint is actually rubbing off, the back of my Studio's guitar neck is also pink from sliding my fretting hand up and down the neck over the years. The paint is simply rubbing off and it's the red primer paint underneath that starts to show! Also... the gold plating on the bridge pickups where the side of your hand rests starts to wear off unusually fast as well. :-( I know... I can't believe a reputable company like Gibson would put out a product like this either! I called them long ago and they assured me it was NOT supposed to be like that. But like I said, after ordering a replacement it sure enough has done the same thing. LOL I should send a picture of it! All that aside, it's a fantastic sounding guitar. I keep it because it sounds so good. Great sounding pickups, awesome fret board and built like a tank. Rock on!
Davey is correct that it is too costly to make it worthwhile. However, I have used sticker material that I got at a local craft store, cut the shapes I wanted and when you are 3 feet away you cant even tell that they are stickers. It is a cheap but effective way to change the look without ruining the fretboard. If you ever want to remove them, just peel them off, then clean and condition the neck like I have done in a few of my videos. Have a great day!
I gotta say I love your personality and had lots of laughs watching the whole video. I have to wait about 3-4 weeks to get the studio in wine red with chrome I want !!!
Awesome videos as usual Dave. I was wondering if you could do one were you put coil taps on a studio or any guitar? I just bought a used studio yesterday and I would like to put in coil taps. Cheers
Dave, I love your videos. Great information, straight forward and delivered with humour and humility. Can you tell me, what is the name of the gauge you used to measure the height of the strings at the twelfth fret please? Thanks from New Zealand. Anthony
I take it that "goached" is the same thing as "screwed" or "fu***d? I wish you would do a video on "How To Lower The Action On A Gibson Les Paul Studio." I think that would be a great video.
The ad before the video started was a woman sticking the spout of a mini watering can up her nose. I already know this makes no sense so no need to send comment. Thanks for fixing my guitar davey! My toe hurts and my pink shirt is fading.
Dave - you are the man! How do I get rid of the sticky neck problem on my Les Pauls? I've got a '92 Studio that should be cured but when it heats up the funk starts... I can actually rub gunk off the neck almost like what a pencil eraser would leave behind. I'm getting close to just sanding all the lacquer off and putting a tung oil finish on, is that a bad idea?
@Bluebuthappy182 The Les Paul Standard has binding around the neck and body. The Studio does not. The standard generally has higher end humbuckers (eg. Burst buckers). The studio usually has 490R and 498T. They both sound similar but the studio is just a striped down standard. the studio body and neck tends to be multi piece where as a stand is usually solid, but have been made multi piece.
sup dave :) im the mexican guy, the alcohol thing worked on the lines of dirt in the maple fender strat arm but in others not well i tried with soap D: and a tootbrush and it worked well... now i painted it and sanded i dont know if its called satin or somethin like that but i looks good, its a 71 strat well atleast it says that in the neck xD well... thanks really for the support i've asked you things and then they go well... thanks dude keep this good videos come on :)
Dave, when are you gonna modify that neck support so you don't have to keep putting the neck in the wrong place on it. I see you do that every time and i wonder about it. I would never fix it, but it seems like you actually get things done. Just a thought. Cheers.
This is just a question, you mentioned a lot of great things, but didn't actually show "what" to adjust aside from the truss rod, I think you have a wealth of knowledge, but when you start measuring, you don't show what you adjusted for the height adjustments, not picking, just wanted to see what you probably think is mundane and ole hat to do, is something us novices really need to see, that actually adjustment(s) on the actual guitar equipment. I appreciate your time and efforts, thanks,!
Just the other day Davey i was thinking about how you & Bill Murray sound very similar to one another..( watching SNL re-runs )The very next day i am checking out this video because i own a L.P, (but the main reason is you're videos are awsome) I really LOL when i heard you say Gopher Hole & waiting for a Marsupial to pop out & bite my hand..I am still grinning from ear to ear
I have this same guitar and have a problem with the fret inlay on the 5th fret. The inlay popped out one day, and I tried to glue back in and I messed it up like a fool, and part of it is barely sticking up. Would it cost much to go to a Luthier and have the inlay popped out again and replaced? I love this guitar and you can barely feel it, but it bothers the hell out of me when I change the strings and run my finger tips over it and feel that small edge popping up.
First let me say thanks I have learned a lot from your videos Dave. I have a lp studio and the neck doesn’t seem to want to straighten. It has a slight bow to the nut end. I look down the centre of the neck and it seems straight but when looking down the neck eyeing the sides I see the bow. The string height is a little high at the 12th fret. Any pointers would be appreciated because I nervous about tightening the truss rod any further ( as you say might gouch it lol ) also I think i might have been the first to adjust the rod. Thanks Dave cheers
Forgive me if you answered this already...when you filled in the strap hole...did you use a "piece" of dowel OR did you fill it with a "mixture" of wood glue and fine wood-dust?
Aren't the linings in Gibson hard cases red? That is where the pink discoloration is from. I have an off-white Stingray Bass that got discolored from sitting on a stand (in one place) to long. Where the surgical tubing rested against the bass is tinted brownish - looks like a cigarette burn.
+Paul Vasso I personally think there is some sort of base coat or something that makes this red happen as the primary coat wears down. Even my cleaning towels aren't red (they're blue microfiber cloths). I thought I was the only one who's seen this. Very weird, none of my other guitars do this. Still love the studio though, I've had it for 8 years and, after a few refinements, it sounds great. I should note that it was horrible from the factory as far as setup. G's intonation was adjusted all the way back and it was still sharp. A new nut fixed it. But shame on gibson :/
Would it me much of a job to have those acrylic inlays replaced with real abalone or mother of pearl trapezoids? I have a 2013 Left handed and the plastic inlays have a tarnished brown type of tinge to them. Thank you.
I have a 2008 studio just like this one (ebony fretboard, alpine white), and it has the same pink thing on the same exact spot. I don't think it's the case, like someone mentioned, since my case is also white inside.
Great vid... Nice job. Good that youi let people know the amount of tine that it really takes to do this stuff right. If people actually paid the correct by the hour price you would be happy.
Hey Dave, 2 ?'s fer ya. 1) When you lowered the action at the nut, how? Did you file the sots a little? 2) I just want to clarify when you said you take factory string action minus 1/3 (30%) for your set ups, obviously it's working but how (if at all) does that effect your neck relief settings? Thanks in advance!
I wish I could send you my guitars -- all of them-- damn it-- how long did it take you to learn this and how did you learn-- I have the book you recommended and its a stew mac guy-- the disk totally sucks balls-- Sir your videos are the best PERIOD THANK YOU DAVE !!
Hey Dave. I love your vids. Bet it was in a tight fitting red lined case. I have wondered what is the ideal case for a new relic style AXL Les Paul copy. hHad wondered if tight fitting cases might damage the guitar finish. Any suggestions from Dave or viewers on the ideal Les Paul guitar case?
@Bluebuthappy182 IF I MAY.........Studio's are the same...just don't have the fancy bindings and originally came with dots instead of the fancy block or trapezoid inlays to save you money..The idea was it dosnt have to be flashy in the studio for recording..But in the recent years they have added goodies like the inlays on this one.THEY are a great guitar..Hope this helps...
That's exactly the way I like it too. I like the chord tapping on the bass and if there's too much relief, it's harder to tap in around from the 9th to the 13th frets. I HATE it.....
I've seen them stuffed in an 07 and an 09. They're stuffed in quite deep and have only become visible when the stapbutton works loose or when I remove the original button to put on straplocks. But they're in there.
Thanx Dave. I too have a LP Studio that came with many of the same issues as this one. Even down to the blue drywall plug in the bottom strap peg. I feel the Studios are likely built by the younger less experienced guys at the Gibson factory. On closer study a trained eye can pick out several imperfections. Still, they are priced decent for a "real" LP and with some knowhow a person can set one up to be a better guitar.
@Bluebuthappy182 The studios have more plain paint jobs, i.e. no bursts, and they have 490R and 498T pickups instead of the Burstbucker Pros that are in the standard. They have a studio version called mahogany or worn that have no paint on them and have the Burstbucker Pros and only cost 800 new. I have one and I think they sound better than the studios I have heard. If you want paint you could buy a reg studio and swap out the pickups.
save time, use an inexpensive laser for all your action and and ease of playing concerns. If set up flat (level) you can address the nut, neck, frets and bridge, (the action) all together. you will be amazed.
Is it possible to throw big block inlays in a les paul standard/studio and make it look like a Les Paul Custom? or does it take more that that to make it a les paul custom? No hate please just expert advice
I just bought a brand new studio. It seems setup good, but I can't get pinch harmonics out of it. I can pul my epi in and get squeals no problem. I've never had this problem with a guitar before.any advise?
Hi, is it 2010 Gibson Les Paul Studio? I have ebony one and I wanna check about the Spec. about it, could you help to give me some detail Spec. about it? such as the body material ect. thanks a lot!
@Bluebuthappy182 And actually if you're not set on a Gibson, Agile makes a LP copy called the AL-3000 that is better than Epiphones IMO and as good as most Gibsons except for the pickups. They are Korean made and run a little under 400. They have a maple cap and come in different burst paint options. Swap out the pickups and for 700 or less you have a better and cheaper LP than a Gibson IMO. They sell them at Rondo music.
Thanks for the video, would you make one about how to take the stop bar bushings using regular tools like a hammer or a bolt, I'm trying to change the ones in my LP Studio using a hammer as I saw in other video but the damn things don't move a damn millimeter.
i wish that that pink color had come from a shirt :( i have also alpine white studio and the pink color has basically taken over and now i own a pink les paul :/ same problem in almost every alpine white les paul..
i have the same guitar and my favorite dark blue hoodie has stained the white. its just a good sign the guitar gets some love and doesn't get left in a corner.
It adds character to the guitar :)
Great to watch a Master at work

2012 Gibson studio ? Heard the nitrocellulose finish on the white color reacts to some materials. (and it does, I own one)
Gee Dave, I never knew that you could adjust the truss rod with out strings. But after the strings do you put a little bow in the neck.
sup dave :) im the mexican guy, the alcohol thing worked on the lines of dirt in the maple fender strat arm but in others not well i tried with soap D: and a tootbrush and it worked well... now i painted it and sanded i dont know if its called satin or somethin like that but i looks good, its a 71 strat well atleast it says that in the neck xD well... thanks really for the support i've asked you things and then they go well... thanks dude keep this good videos come on :)

Yay, another one of my guitars makes the channel! Hey Dave, thank you for making the video, I can't wait to try it out the git.
That blue plug was factory. I found one in my Standard, when I installed my straplocks. 😲
Schenker75 yes I had one of those in my old 84 explorer. I was surprised Gibson would do that.
@@Fritter70 It's because they hang the guitars from hooks in the factory, from that hole.

Dave! I thought I was the only one who still had a real metal can of 3 and One oil. How long have you had yours?
You are awesome...for many reasons...the actifry...the dry humor, or maybe its the RN T-Shirt.
Forgive me if you answered this already...when you filled in the strap hole...did you use a "piece" of dowel OR did you fill it with a "mixture" of wood glue and fine wood-dust?
Id say both would do. Just as long as the screw has something to grip
Great video Dave, I would like to have seen the nut adjustment process, but all in all very informative. My guitar guy could learn a lot from you.

@Bluebuthappy182 Basically the look of the guitar. The studio is basically more stripped down than a standard: Less (no!?) binding on the body.
Dave the discoloration is from the case not a favorite shirt lol too funny

@@petedogg369 Yeah no idea man. I've been playing for 20+ years, own over a dozen guitars. It's very odd. I have no explanation for it.
Hey what size trust rod wrench are you using?
I noticed you used a ruler measurement metal card for the string/action height. could i use a feeler gauge instead to measure action height?
Good job Dave.
Hey Dave! some people say that the get better sustain by wrapping the strings on the top of the tune o matic bridge. what do you think? cheers

great video Dave...
What are the thing you use to measure !? I know acoustic guitars have to be 2 mm so an electric guitar is 5mm ?
NICE WORK MAN...
Thanx Dave. I too have a LP Studio that came with many of the same issues as this one. Even down to the blue drywall plug in the bottom strap peg.

Thanks for the video, would you make one about how to take the stop bar bushings using regular tools like a hammer or a bolt, I'm trying to change the ones in my LP Studio using a hammer as I saw in other video but the damn things don't move a damn millimeter.
You think the color came from a cheap guitar case?
Dave what exactily is the difference between a les paul stuido and a standard, besides price that is?
Dude i just check feel videos of you !!!! And i Love you man and the funny thing about that i m a Man ......got love.
Great job man.
Hey Dave, can you do a video about pickup height adjustement?
i wish that that pink color had come from a shirt :( i have also alpine white studio and the pink color has basically taken over and now i own a pink les paul :/ same problem in almost every alpine white les paul..
hey dave, where can i find those measurements you use for brand specific string height, and string radius?
is there any book I can buy to learn how to set the guitar up as you did?? please help thanks
***** thank you very much
🔥🔥🔥
I have a les paul, if the adjustment screws are pointing out the back rather than the front, does that effect the string action?
Dave, how do you lower the nut action?
If a string is touching the bridge behind where it rests on the slot, could that effect the sustain??
