Neck-heavy 7-string guitars and how you deal with them.
Hi everyone,
While looking for a new 7-string, I’ve had the chance to test-play a few recently, and I noticed that the vast majority of them are unfortunately neck-heavy. By "neck-heavy," I mean that when you strap the guitar on, the center of gravity shifts toward the neck and headstock.
I currently own a Solar A2.7C, and unfortunately, it is also slightly neck-heavy. I used to have a Schecter C7 Apocalypse, which had the exact same issue.
Recently, I got to play an Ibanez RGIXL7, which was reasonably well-balanced in that regard.
However, on this guitar, the volume pot was positioned too close to the pickup for my liking.
What are your experiences with this, and how do you remedy the situation?
Which guitars do you own that don't have this problem?
