neck kinda flexible, normal?

[foxblinkhope]

so i was playing the guitar, the strap at the neck position slipped. guitar hit the floor neck 1st, nv break but the neck was like bending upward, so i push the neck down, to make it even. so the neck is kinda "flexible" now, like can push up or down, with like some force. so is this normal? or should i get a new neck?

unless your guitar is a foldable one, yes.. if not, NO!

^^ HAHA! will be a cool invention sia that one.

to foxblinkhope, you should go to a tech and get it check. it might be due to lose screws.

 

[sleepykitty]

actually, it has already been invented 8)

[foxblinkhope]

Oh my ....sick !!

^ it's uber dumb! as if the guitar isn't already a hassle to maintain...now you must fold it :roll:

as for threadstarter,get your guitar checked...there's definitely a problem with it.

you can buy those small strap locks..the plastic ones that hold your straps to your strap buttons..it cost me urmm $3 if I'm not wrong..

as for the planet waves strap with the straplock thingy..it costs $12 at Ranking if I'm not wrong.

get the jim dunlop ones at davis? works very well for me.

 

[dric]

i don't get it, folding the guitar like that doesn't really make it MUCH smaller

 

[suckasucks]

goodness... that guitar looks like its doing yoga..

wonder whether you can use that huge roller thingy like a trem.... and why is that bridge pickup's pole pieces positioned like that? looks like a neck pickup.

dric:

your practically dividing the space occupied by half no?

 

[markedymark]

not quite half, cause the neck's longer than the body anyway. but its a decent amount of space saved. man think of the tuning instabilities on that thing.

 

[suckasucks]

WAY less sustain too.

 

[dric]

mattleesc:

well yea, but it still looks equally bulky eh. not like a foldable keyboard or something

 

[Phanto]

maybe it can be folded all the way. seems like the string tension can be totally reduced, the base of the guitar seems to have a gimmick there to maybe loosen string tension via the roller

 

[skink83]

By folding it almost in half, you probably can fit it in large napsacks, duffel bags etc. Heck, maybe large shopping bag also can! Provided strong enough...

The sustain point will be interesting though... otherwise just slap on some actives or sustainers, haha.
