Explorer Strap Button Relocation

[palmmut3d]

ok.
recently i got an Epiphone Explorer from one of the Softie.
The explorer right... it's strap button is located at the top horn.
I want to create another strap button at the back of the neck, just like their SGs.
This would solve the stupid neck diving issue.
Anyone knows where they provide cheap + good job for this?
Also... anyone can recommend a good soft case for the explorer?
the hardcase is really a B*TCH to carry around.

well all thanks!

i think putting the strap button behind the body like an sg would make it dive more

bro i think you can find the diameter and drill urself!

anw soft case, here im selling one

nah putting it at the back of the neck wuddn't make it dive more.
why it dives now is because the strap button is aligned to the "horn" which is at a downward incline tt's why it's neck-diving, not because the neck too heavy or wad thing.
relocating it is gonna make it better. tried and tested.
anyway gibson explorers the strap button is at the back too. epiphone dunno why cheapo or wad put it at the "horn"

haha drill myself abit too risky ah. i'm not tt pro w this ah.
drilling normal stuff still ok, but guitars? not $10, $20 thing ah.
and i drill myself how to fill the other hole? i'll still need to get some guy to do it.

i had my stap button of my goth explorer relocated at the back. imagine an epi sg. no more neck dives after that...haha.. easy 2 drill la, must have confidence.
oh yea btw, u can get a cheap gigbag at dan enterprise... the shop that sells santa fe's at penin. i gt mine under 40 bucks.. i covered the santa fe brand with a metallica patch.. =D

heys bro palmmut3d!

if you don't have experience in drilling, better to get it done by a professional. KC from Maestro guitars should help!

and i'd recommend a Warwick Rockbag.

 

[palmmut3d]

yeah la tt's y i say better get the drilling done by someone else.
i'm too noob to do this man. haha

and the gigbag, possibly found one alr.
will be checking it out this friday/wkend.
