Members DeadNight Warrior Posted March 1, 2009 Members Share Posted March 1, 2009 Part of it is to do with the strap button location. Get a good grippy strap, relocate the strap buttons... dive shouldn't be much of a problem. Jacksons in general are pretty headstock heavy though IMO.

Members Mackin Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 My BC Rich dives like crazy too... I balanced it out with some heavy steel washers, they hang on my strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rich4Once Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 I have a Kramer Vanguard, which is the same sharkfin shape as the Rhoads. I moved the strap button to the edge of the body, and then a Levy's suede-backed leather strap helps a *lot* to eliminate neck-dive. If you do this though, straplocks are a must.

Members DeadNight Warrior Posted March 2, 2009 Members Share Posted March 2, 2009 Pretty sure if you move the strap button more towards the middle, rather than out towards the end of the wing, it'll help with the weight distribution. I'm really just going from memory though, as my brain is too {censored}ed today to think about it properly. Need less wine and guitar, more sleep.
