Members DeathByGuitar Posted August 22, 2007 Members Share Posted August 22, 2007 Then again, so was an old Ibanez of mine until I repositioned the strap button on one of the neck bolts. The Schecter, however, is a set-neck, so that's not an option. I knew this when buying the guitar, but everything else about it was/is perfect to me. It's not that big of a deal, but if i could fix it, it'd be icing on the cake for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gt_jumper Posted August 22, 2007 Members Share Posted August 22, 2007 Mine is fine for balance. I have noticed is that the C-1 elite is way way lighter then the C-1 Blackjack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mnhhngbfs Posted August 22, 2007 Members Share Posted August 22, 2007 that's totally an option, take a look at a gibson flying v next time you go to a guitar store. the strap button is screwed right into the heel. you only need to drill a small pilot hole.

That's weird. So yours balances perfectly? Maybe it's my strap....I've got a basic nylon Ernie Ball strap. What kinda strap and stuff do you use?

Members Dead Skunk Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 I guess weight relief holes in the neck or even sound chambers are out of the questions. If you plan on keeping the guitar, I'd consdier drilling the little hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gourd of Ashes Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 That's weird. So yours balances perfectly? Maybe it's my strap....I've got a basic nylon Ernie Ball strap. What kinda strap and stuff do you use? From my experience the c-1 is balanced pretty nicely because it's a basic strat type of body shape. You're problem could be the ernie balls strap. I've used those before and they slip around a bit on my shoulder. Just a suggestion, but I've been using Kepur straps and they stay really firm on my shoulder and never slip. Some guys don't like the feel of Kepur because it's kind of like a rubber band type of material...but I really like it and they are indestructible when paired with a good set of strap locks. Just a suggestion...others may think differently. Here's the site: http://www.coreoneproduct.com/pages/products.html I use the 3 inch one because it seems to slip the least on my shoulder: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Kepur-5.Zero-Smooth-Guitar-Strap?sku=364013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
