"The bridge of the guitar slipped and now is at a point where the action with a full setup is still high. I went into my local Sam Ash store and inquired if they had similar issues with other S Model Gibsons and they said all of them because they share the same bridge design"


Is the problem with the bridge or because poplar a softer wood than mahogany?
Maybe they just needs some of these?

Someone buy one of these things and tell us what the catch is...if the bridge is fine, maybe there isn't one? I mean, Peavey made plenty of affordable USA models.
