KE2 neck drop

[Axewielder]

So my KE2 has a bit of neck drop to it. The neck likes to drop a bit past perpendicular to the floor. I can pretty much balance it with my right arm rested on the body. Is this pretty much the norm with these? It's not a huge problem, but every other USA Jackson that I have played has been perfectly balanced.

Yeah, there's never been a thread about this!

Nose dive, wow lots of hits on that. Thanks, master! Looks like the KE2 pretty much "is what it is". Kind of sucks. I have a 1986 San Dimas King V, and it is amazingly well-balanced. It just stays wherever you put it.

It's nice having things stay where you put them.

Yes, all kellys are neck heavy.

my ke2 is, my friend's(roommate's) pre fender ke3 is also.

Simple way to fix it, buy a grippy strap.

Coat the part of your strap that crosses your shoulder with blue Permatex and let it dry. No more slipping.

No, they're not. I had a KE-3 from around '97 ish, one of the ones without the neck plate. Strap button was between the four bolts, balanced perfectly.
