The nut is a compensated nut, which helps the intonation. I think it's a music man exclusive and it works very well. Not to be rude, but it sounds like you're playing through a transistor radio speaker. I've had one for 2 years, and it sounds great on a real amp. The boost button works very well when you switch from a light breakup to a more overdriven sound for a lead break without having to step on a pedal.

Lots of brands use compensated nuts. Earvana nuts are probably the most common compensated nut.

Hmmm…. A transistor radio? I would respectfully disagree. I absolutely love that tone and it’s one of the reasons a JP Majesty will be my next guitar. If fact, I want in that same blue color.

Totally agree with you on the boost function. If I have a boost on a guitar, its always on, no need for a switch. If I want a boost for solos I have it at the end of the signal chain post effects loop. Having a switchable boost pre-gain is pretty useless to me because my backing and solo tone is pretty much the same save for volume. Pretty rad guitar though and a very detailed in-depth review!

I really appreciate how you tell how you got the tone and didn't over produce to give the guitar the best tone ever. It's hard on most reviews to tell if it's the guitar or their pedal chain that sounds good

Incredible instrument but I must say, the comment at 5:10 is enough to discourage me. Magnetic pickups like that should always work, battery or no battery. I would like to see them figure out a passive bypass for that situation.

good review! I think the trem is fine, Petrucci has no issues with it. i do wish however, it had a PTFE nut and not a Melamine nut. i fixed all the tuning issues on mine with big bends nut sauce in the nut slots and the saddles. and i wish the bridge saddles were made out of a harder material, as playing with these for an extended amount of time can cause burrs and indentations on the saddles, making string breakage much more likely.

Just a personal preference: When you demo a guitar make sure you play it clean first. You cant tell an instrument with distortion. When you play it clean dont strum, its not an acoustic guitar. Play a melody on different positions, let the instrument show its colors and capabilities (if any). And maybe use an amp, with a mic.

About the boost, Petrucci has stated (Anderton’s interview) he will use it for solos sometimes when he really wants to stand out in the live mix. It also gives you noticeably more sustain (and brings overtones out faster). But obviously I’m sure YMMV based on the rest of your rig’s setup.

Thanks for your input. Probably not something I'd ever use, but if it works for Petrucci, or anyone else, that's awesome.

In mine the knobs are also not centred. I have had electronics problems twice the first 2 years (I have the first Majesty) The service was great, the send me twice updated electronics and the last years it works without problems. I really love the guitar and 95% of the time I play it, the other 5% is divided by a Samic 335, Fender USA Stratocaster, Burny Les Paul , Martin DM and a Ibanez AF95) It stays very good in tune, adjusting the truss rod is childs[play, I like how it plays. It is rather small, very light, very well balanced, it was a bit getting used to the flat thin neck but I now like it a lot. Batteries last a long time so every now and then check if the batteries do not leak. Only thing is the coil switch, it is in the right space to set it very fast, but also if I not want it. Took some time to not switch it by accident. I seldom use the boost, I use the pre-amp of my pedal board. But setting it right you can get a lot of sustain.
