Weight distribution (neck dive)
Hi everyone!
I have had my G5222 (first pic) for quite a few months now, played a few gigs as well and everything’s perfect, but the neck dive is absolutely killing me. I’ve considered adding more weight to the body, but as this is already quite a heavy guitar (for me at least), I am not too keen on doing so. Secondly, I have also considered moving the upper strap button bit more inwards as seen on the second pic (got pic off reverb). Would this help the neck dive the issue?
Thanks in advance!
TL;DR: Neck dive, moving strap button would help?
