  • balance problems

    my ke3 has absolutely horrendous balance when i play standing up. maple neck, alder body, and it is so neck heavy i even tried putting in a half pound of lead weights in the electronics cavity to even it out, and not a scrap of difference. is there anyway to fix a balance problem without extensive routing, or should i just suck it up and live with it?

      Put a "buttplug" in it like The dude from Death Angel does to his Death Angels.
      Search for that thread on here if you dont know what I mean....

      But yeah a Wide leather strap, or simple relocation of the strap buttond will do it most times.

        Move the front strap button to the upper neck plate screw.

                      Very unbalanced, that's why I joined. ...and don't get me wrong, all this sexy, dirty talk sounds like a good night out.

                        Relocate the forward strap pin from just above the neck plate to in front of or thru the neck plate. Works wonders.

                          +1 I did that on my Explorer copy and it made it perfect.

                              Or, move the back strap button onto the top right hole on the trem cavity cover. THat's what I did, worked fine.
