Before altering that beauty, try a wide suede strap.

Dont panic! The bass wont be altered in any way. It's far too precious to ruin with ill considered mods.
 
It does neck dive and the way it hangs means the reach to the lower frets is long which puts his wrist at a slightly awkward angle.
 
I have a nice little design that will be fixed using standard straplocks to the existing buttons. It will be made of carbon fibre so will be strong and light. It will stop the neck dive and shorten the reach for George to reduce the likelihood of wrist problems. It has to be comfortable or it won't get played. That would be a shame.

Given the level of your previous mods on the power supply, can I say I'll be waiting anxiously?

Hi, i have exactly same 32' model from 81 who s get a copy?

Brilliant idea having the extender connect directly to the existing strap button/lock!  You may consider making it adjustable with twist locks similar to hiking poles to allow for fine adjustment to the balance.

Hi everybody, hopefully I haven't left this thread to long to become inactive...

Hey there,


My dad has been so busy so he's not got round to it! He's got his own Series 1 now, same as mine and he did show his prototype and it's pretty damn cool! I'll him for an update and see what he says!


Cheers!
