Question Majesty Artisan 7 Fret bevel question

[l1nk3]

Hey all!

I recently got my majesty artisan 7 string and have noticed that the fret bevel is pretty steep. I've adjusted to it mostly, but it's near impossible to do a legitimate pull of to an open string on the high e string because there is not enough fret to get enough swing to do a pull off. I know most people would say I need to adjust my technique, but I've spent the last hour or so trying to experiment with different ways to pull off to the open e string without having that fret slipping sound and it's damn near impossible. Any advice? Could this possibly be a factory problem where it was beveled too much? I've tried other majesty artisan 7 strings and haven't noticed this issue at all, so I'm kind of worried..

Thanks!

Not sure how useful this answer will be, but when I first got my JP15 I also had similar issues. It affected me to the point where I thought the neck was slightly off centre. Upon correction it seemed better but still took some getting used to. Today I don't even notice it - somehow my technique learned to compensate for it and now I don't even notice it.

I figured it would be a problem with my playing, but I adjusted pretty quickly to the string slippage issues. My only problem is being able to pull off to the open high e string without it making a subtle slipping noise, which seems unavoidable because the fret bevel is so steep.

Thanks for the advice! I wanted to make sure this wasn't a problem with my playing or technique and not a problem with the instrument before talking with them, but I'll give them a call and see what they say!

No problem!

I can't tell you if it's you or the guitar but the store see thousands of instruments each year, if it's unusal they'll know. And customer service are there for exactly this kind of issue. It's their job.

Agreed! Downside is I bought it online.. So I'll have to go through the process without any physical interactions

Well, take the clerest sharpest photos you can, preferably in daylight.
