Bixby 335 semi hollow body
Let me start out by saying I bought this guitar on Ebay because of it super cheap price (about $199 then). When I received it it was absolutely beautiful! It felt solid! The stock strings were terrible but they always are. So when I plugged this guy in i was amazed at how quiet it was! It sounded pretty good! I did notice that one of the strings didn't hold tune. So i took it and had my guitar shop set it up to 335 specs. Played great when I got it back but still has the issue with the detuning string. I've read in several forums that this style guitar often has similar issues due to the nut on the headstock. Im not sure though... I haven't had it repaired as of yet. Bottom line; this might be a great guitar for the price but you may have to put a bit more into it having it setup properly and such. Although i do like it i should have got another to $200 and bought an epiphone 335. But some of those have the same issues.

the string is binding in the nut due to the angle it passes through the slot at... and shoddy craftsmanship. To start, try adding some graphite "guitar" lubricant to the slots nect time you shange strings. If that doesn't do it you may want to de-burr the string slots on the nut with some fine grit wet sandpaper and then lubricate them.

Thanks for the tip! Ill give that a try. Its amazing how something so simple can cause such issues. It actually seems like a really nice" knock off" guitar with that one exception. Maybe they are in too much of a hurry in China to do such things. ;o)

real Gibsons are prone to string binding as well, its the combination of the steep headstock/neck angle and the guys who shape the nuts being rushed to complete certain number of guitars per day.... the custom shops are less prone to this problem the more you spend on them, because a lot more time goes into the details, but even vintage 50s gibsons had tuning issues from the factory back in the day... they were great guitars, better than a current Gibson Nashville guitar, but still a factory guitar with assembly-line workers meeting quotas laid down by the top brass
how'd the graphite work out for ya?

Actually the graphite did help. I played it for a couple of weeks with hardly any issues. It has recently started do the same thing again so I bought a new nut and replaced it. I did use the graphite in the grooves of the nut again and so far it has been fantastic! But I would agree that the graphite made a huge difference. Thanks again man!
