All I play are Les Pauls :)
It might be the saddle slidey thing* that the string is sitting on at the bridge, the string might have cut down a little deep into it.
Either that or the nut has been cut down a bit by string movement, which is unlikely, but can still happen.
I'd get it taken to a pro if it's a Gibson, you have to treat them well - and if someone's set it up really nicely, they're a wet dream to play.
*the slidey thing, y'know. Official terminology.
