Majesty won't stay in tune

[EddieVanAlves]

I just recently purchased a 6-month-old Majesty (HMR) off of Reverb
It stays in tune fine if I don't use the tremolo, but as soon as I dive bomb or anything, it goes out of tune.
I use Ernie Ball 10-46, and it's mainly the G and B strings. It improves when I put some tune it paste on the nut, but it's still not perfect.

Do I need to get the nut filed and polished? Or could this be something else, like the knife edges?

Appreciate any help

Most (non Floyd Rose) trems do this to some extent. The solution is usually to pull back up on the bar quickly after dive bombing, it snaps the guitar back in tune.

Had the same on my jp15. My guitar tech said, that the nut might be too narrow, but unlikely when you using stock strings.
However, I put in a snitch of graphite (or with a lead pencil), but heads-up, it's not optimal, esp. on wounded strings, because it might make the string a bit dull.

Yes i was thinking this, but i dont see why, because like you said, im using stock strings. I was using Tune It Paste by Music Nomad, but I just got Big Bends Nut Sauce in the mail. I'll give it a try, and hopefully it works

I have tried this, unfortunately doesnt really work a great deal of the times

Did it end up solving the issue completely?

It got a whole lot better and it stays in tune very well, I will soon change strings and see, how it works, I also plan to use a thicker low B string (7string) for drop A. Then I might have to check the nut.
I also tried to use this thing:

Guitars Upgrade Tremmory S

Guitars Upgrade Tremmory S, Arretiersystem für alle herkömmlichen Gitarren mit Tremolo, Verstimmungen durch Palm-Mutes, Bendings oder Saitenrisse werden durch das Tremmory verhindert, Einbaulänge: 71mm, Material: Edelstahl, Made in Germany.

It's cool, but the action gets a lot stiffer, which is not what I search.
I also considered locking bridge to go only in lower direction, because that's my main use case, but currently it's works pretty good with the graphite, but alas the sound might suffer a bit. According to my guitar tech, it should not be necessary with this saddle material.
Maybe, it's a matter to just play more and let it settle more by moving it...
