J. Naylor LLC Releases Axe Balancer for Neck Heavy Guitars & Basses  The Axe Balancer is a patent pending product designed for neck heavy guitars and basses. A tiny tungsten steel block mounts to the body under the strap button. Because the block is mounted directly to the body at the farthest possible point from the headstock, it works as a very effective counterweight.  The block is only 7 ounces and very small, so you barely feel or see it.  The Axe Balancer helps keep the neck in playing position, so you don't have to hold it up while playing. Your arms are more relaxed so you play better and feel less fatigue. Works with any guitar or bass, electric or acoustic.  Features include: large and small diameter mounting screws (small fits "straplock" buttons), non-reactive foam pad on bottom of block, and tungsten steel block with sandblasted finish.
