  2. Hahaaaa, thats very funny Golden and thanks for saying that I am one of the unlucky ones with the dreaded condition!!! It makes me feel so much better.... Anyway, I'm sticking with my opinion that SG's, especially the Jnr's, are going to be predominately neck divers, and that I am not alone.... 'll try and figure out how to post a photo although I'm not sure that its going to help explain why mine has neck dive
  3. Thanks Golden. That all makes sense regarding hardware. Mine is 6 lb 6 oz so unless I just had bad luck I'd say it's not just the light 5.5 lb juniors that suffer from the dreaded 'dive'...
  4. Well I did say it was a 'sweeping statement', no? I thought it would get a rise out of a few peeps... I was hoping to get more data from the poll but that didn't happen to prove my 'sweeping statement'. I am basing my opinion on reading all the various gutar forums on the issue and the fact that most players who say that they don't have the issue mostly use a wide leather straps and therefore don't feel neck dive. Yes we all know that all guitar woods are different and there are tuners and whammy barfactors that add weight to various parts of an SG but fundamentally the SG model is an unbalanced guitar design created by Gibson back in 1961. The thin lightwight body, heavy neck weight, freatboard length all help to contribute to this. Are there execeptions? Of course, but I think that the percentage of SG's with neck dive are far higher than without. Anyway its just one persons opinion right?
  5. I think it's that Curly cord and tremolo that's helping Frank's SG stay balanced here...
  6. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments on this. I'm going to make a sweeping statement and say that I think that around 90% of all SG's suffer from neck dive. Yes there are ways of dealing with it like wide straps with suede backing but I'd be willing to bet that around 90% would drop with a simple vinyl strap. No an issue for most people but such a pity IMO as it could maybe be addressed by Gibson with design and could wood selection on the SG.
  7. After recently buying a new 2018 Gibson SG Junior (Which I'm really loving) I'm intrigued by the issue of balance on the SG. I'd love to hear your thoughts and answers on this controversial issue....
