All that bling, all that labor, and all of that money, and it's every bit as good as...an Epiphone. (sigh). Did the nut replacement help with the intonation?

Bob claims it plays and sounds way better. I did a video after and there are still total resonant problems. I shot the video of him messing with the nut but didn't include it because it still sucks!!! My luthier and I had a good laugh about it

@@TheNeuroticGuitarist This is unfortunate. I have to admit that once upon a time, I had enough capital to get into guitars like that. I decided to go with private luthiers instead. I don't want to knock Gibson, but for a guitar that expensive, someone should have PERSONALLY set it up. If 10 grand can't buy you perfection in a new guitar, then there's something wrong with society, I tells ya!

@Easter_Sunday it's really sad. The nut was cut indeed all wonky. Too shallow and very uneven. The neck then needed a crank. I got it back and check out the demo, at the time I thought it was OK but when I was editing I had to stop because it kept going out of tune. It's like a perfect set of variables to suck as much as possible

WTF Benny! That Ultima needs an Exorcism. Either that or a trip back to the Custom Shop. I understand that a typical guitar is an exercise in tempered intonation, nothing is exact, still though, I've a Tokai '54 Goldtop that sounds better intonated using a stock tailpiece as the wrapped bridge. I hate to even mention this, however how sure are we that fancy fingerboard has the frets correctly indexed! Just saying, I'm grasping for straws at this point. Try drop-tuning it and see if the issue improves or worsens. You might find you've the ultimate Heavy Metal "Chug-Chug" guitar or possibly the prettiest slide guitar!

I'm DONE with that guitar. My luthier steve had a good laugh at the video. Bob is psyched with it, cutting the nut made it play way better but it has actual resonance problems. The thing is a perfect type of fuckdd and I'm all set w it. Fuck that thing
