Any gibson rd artist users out there?

Im not sure where to post this but i was told someone in here could help me... I just got a gibson rd artist 78' and im having a really hard time getting the action low and easy to play..i bought a hipshot supertone thinking the stock bridge was the problem and Ive adjusted the neck and the saddles and all but nothing seems to be working.. I just really hope its not warped or anything Help!!

Shouldn't really be a problem... you could try remove the truss rod nut, clamping the neck straight and putting the nut back on.

Does the neck look warped?

Found the problem. The frets are really worn down to a point where lowering the action makes it almost impossible to play. :/
