Majesty stud through the body (help please)

[Luks]

Hi guys! I’ve received my 2015 Majesty yesterday and it’s badass. But I wanna know if this is normal. I can see the bottom of the stud bushing coming out through the trem cavity. I have seen a few having the same issue but I don’t know if it is a problem or just design. Thanks!

Maybe it is only me, but I absolutely can not understand/see what I should be looking at in these photos. Sorry...

I can see the knurled edge of the bridge stud bushing coming through the side of the tremolo cavity.

Don’t know how to say in english. Can you see the stud bushing coming out of the trem cavity?

Yes. Thanks a lot. That’s what I wanted to say lol. I wanna know if that’s normal.

I don't recognise anything that looks like a stud bushing. To my eye it looks like the wood showing where the paint has not reached properly.

That's probably one of those cosmetic things which don't affect tone or playability and you never would worry about if you wouldn't have noticed it. I don't think the bushings need those 2 or 3 mm for a tight fit.

Hi! I’ve been watching other majestys and I’ve noticed that it’s common on the first ones. 2014 to 2017. After that they started to make the trem cavity in a different way so you don’t see the bushing.

Are you sure the Majesty trem posts have bushings? They look like the ones on other EBMM guitars, which are direct wood mount screws.

Yes. This is a pick from a guy on Music Man’s facebook group. He had a big trouble but this is a bushing.

Here’s a pic of another majesty from 2014-2016. You can see the bushing

Wow, will all due respect, that is some sloppy CNC/CAD modeling...

Totally agree. On my guitar it’s less noticeable but I would prefer a better design
