Members guitarist21 Posted May 16, 2009 Members Share Posted May 16, 2009 Is playing while sitting down not an option? I do most of my acoustic shows sitting down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members maximuskatana Posted May 16, 2009 Members Share Posted May 16, 2009 Instead of selling it, you could sell your old case, and use the money to help fund something like this. http://www.skbcases.com/music/products/proddetail.php?f=sku_has_wheels-1-75&id=9&o=name&offset=1&c=75&s=75 It's got wheels so you could roll it instead of having to carry it. Edit: I'm sure you can find one in the jumbo size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members boxorox Posted May 16, 2009 Members Share Posted May 16, 2009 I'm getting 4-5lbs for my guitars. Have you looked into those strap systems that support the guitar more efficiantly? Don't know much about 'em, but I think they have a crossing strap/harness/suspender type deal that distributes the weight across your back rather than putting it all on your neck/ right shoulder. Sorry to hear you're hurting, and I hope you get some relief from that real soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
