Can I use .007-.038 strings on a Majesty?

[Vadauco]

I know the Majesty comes from factory with .010-.046 strings.

So, given the proper setup – back springs, bridge angle, truss rod, etc. –, will it play fine with .007-.038 strings? Or will I have any kind of issue?

The only concern that I would have is if that specific guitar neck has enough 'give' or put another way, does that set of strings have enough tension to pull the neck into sufficient relief? My two older Axis Sport's are very close, and just barely into their TR tension with EBMM 2241 Hybrid 9 set to get just enough relief and I don't think I could go any lighter. A two way truss rod solves this with the ability to pull then neck into relief but I don't think you have that. Single action TR needs the string tension to pull the neck into relief.

If I‘m not mistaken all current EBMM Models feature Dual Action Trussrods.
I never had any issues with my JPs when I changed String Gauges. But I didn‘t go lighter than 09s, mostly went for heavier Strings and lower Tunings

They do not have dual action truss rods, as far as I know. The adjustment nut is on the end of the truss rod, and you can unscrew it right off if you want. That's definitely not possible on a dual action.

If it helps, I play 08-38 on my Cutlass, Valentine, and Albert Lee and have no issues

It's a single action truss rod.
