My same experience. Have your guitar set up professionally, and learn how to tie / wrap your strings properly - resolves the issue.I took my Les Paul to my luthier and he worked on the nut slots. It now stays in tune very well. Even the G string.
I had bought a String Butler in case the luthier couldn’t fix the nut. But he did, so I never ended up installing the String Butler.

Not only are Les Pauls set up at the factory, they are pleked.
The frets on my 2019 Les Paul Classic are great, so I credit the Plek machine for that. The only issue I had was with the poorly cut nut, which resulted in unstable tuning and uneven string height. My luthier fixed all that.
Doesn't plek make nut adjustments too?
Yep, a properly cut nut makes all the difference!I took my Les Paul to my luthier and he worked on the nut slots. It now stays in tune very well. Even the G string.

none of your statements are accurate or factualPLEK is just the replacement of a highly skilled craftsmen that does perfect work with a machine that only gets acceptable results, and marketed as a great improvement. Better for corporate bottom dollar to buy a $100k machine and pay some unskilled laborer to load it, than have someone who actually knows anything about guitars working in their factory at a respectable salary.
And they wonder why they’re failing...
