balancing neck heavy guitars

[brandnewrock]

hi guys,

any tips on preventing the neck from dipping when playing live?
(other than holding it wif ur hand)
esp wif the SG ones...

thnks & regards

leather guitar straps should work well.

roll of coins or lead weights in the control cavity..no shit,try it out.

put more wood? or metal? on the headstock? lols...

 

[RazrAsh]

in the control cavity!!!! headstock later the headstock dive further!!!! unless u wanna tie helium balloons to your headstock. :lol:

change the position of front strap pin !

ok goose!

change to where? at the headstock? haha or at the right side of the horn(on the pic)~

NO on the moving of strap button to horn

notice the Gibson Iommi SG has the strap button behind the neck for a reason.
the Epi Iommi SG has it on the horn, but there are reports of the wood cracking over there.
Iommi's tech has also said that one of Iommi's guitars has a crack at the wood there.
thats the reason

better just get a nice wide nylon strap, or any that grips your body nicely.

i assume dat the position in the pic dat goose posted is more secured...
and get wider straps...

ok guys, thnks for the suggestions :wink:

dun sling it so low la..

if u sling it low..its harder to play..
