Majesty setup tips

[LesPaul]

Having some tuning stability issues. Any tips or videos that show proper setup techniques for floating trems? I'm thinking I need to grab some big bends and clean the nut before putting on new strings on my Majesty.

The important thing is to make sure the bridge is level with the top surface of the guitar, front to back, left to right. Is your guitar brand new?

Assuming the guitar is new, I would suggest achieving that level by the tweaking the claw, not by the pivot posts the bridge rests on.

Yes - a light application of Big Bends will help with string grab.

Thanks. Got the Majesty back in July. It got worse after I swapped the stock strings for a set of Cobalts. It has 10s now but I'm considering changing to 9s. My JP-16 has 9s and I'm finding that I prefer them. Of course I know that means I going to need to play with the trem claw to adjust for the tension difference.

On a side note, this morning I cleaned out the g string nut slot with some thin dental floss and that seemed to help things. Of course then the wife insisted I quit playing and start cleaning up for Christmas, so I didn't get to really test things out. Sure wish everyday life wouldn't interfere with guitar so much
