GDTRFB Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 just got my Lennon casino and it's great, but very noticeable neck dive. I wonder if the gold Grover tuners throw off the balance. anybody else have casino neck dive issues? I was planning on using a Souldier rooftop strap, but I guess I will have to use a leather strap instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDTRFB Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 ha! Any less drastic suggestions? Should I consider exchanging mine, or is this par for the course with casinos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I don't think exchanging it will solve the problem. The light body is probably the main contributor, though I haven't noticed much neck dive on any Casino I've played. Have you tried a wider and/or suede strap?

It doesn't feel neck heavy, but it just slides down with a vinyl strap. I'm gonna go with a leather Levi's one instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamonkis Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Any less drastic suggestions? It's just a peice of angle aluminum I cut, drilled and polished, Put a felt pad on the inside and screwed it on in place of the strap button. It could be put back to original in about two minutes. But if that still seems "drastic", Yea, a leather strap is a good idea anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDTRFB Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Sorry, didn't mean to offend. That is a very creative way of handling the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capmaster Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 For both comfort when shouldering heavy axes and preventing neck dive of poorly balanced instruments, I use straps of this make and can strongly recommend them: http://www.levysleathers.com/product;cat,837;item,548;Suede-Leather-MSS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Have you tried a wider and/or suede strap? +1. I use Levy's 2-1/2" suede straps on all my guitars, Casino included, and have no slipping issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
