Hey everyone with a Les Paul. I have a "76 Blond LP Custom. I use 9's and I originally set it up for those many years ago. A couple of questions please:
1. What do you set your pup heights to? I have always had mine set at 3/32" for the neck and 1/16" for the bridge. Those measurements are for both the bass and treble sides.
2. Of late......my high E string (and occasionally / rarely my B string) have developed a slight "rattle" when played both open and fretted. It seems to happen no matter where they're fretted and no matter the velocity of the strum / pick. Raising the string heights doesn't change it either.....so it's not fret noise. Can this be from a worn nut or bridge saddle? I've never changed the nut or any bridge component in 43 years. This guitar is by no measure extremely used........but who knows what that means right?
Your help is welcome.
