Not that it really matters, but these aren't a Gibson scale guitar (24.75") they're actually 24 and 9/16 scale. But the reason I commented is because of a major mistake adjusting the bridge at around the 9 minute mark. At the rear of the bridge are two locking screws that must be loosened before attempting to adjust the corresponding height adjustment screws on top. It's also highly recommended by Line6/Yamaha to loosen the strings slightly first as well. The reason this is so important is if you don't loosen the rear lock nuts, the hex wrench will at least partially if not completely strip the hex slot on the height adjustment screw, making it impossible to adjust and extremely difficult to remove. Hope that saves someone an expensive problem. Read the manual folks.
