    Another thoughts about it, Rob! You replace the Viper's strap button to the top of the horn, Matt's two beautiful custom ESP Vipers already has strap buttons on the top of the horn, so as his personal LTD sigs have, many of my mates, who played Vipers - all of them replaced the strap buttons to the top of the horn! Why ESP didn't make it a permanent part of the Viper's standard complectation? The top of Viper's upper horn is thick enough to hold the strap mount stably. In any case, they are thicker than on the Gibson SG's. And one good friend of mine, who played in a hardcore punk band for a long time, played there on the SG Standard, on which he also replaced the strap button to the top of the horn. There were no problems with it, the horn withstood everything perfectly - and this guy was very active on stage!

    Probably! I forgot to mention Tony Iommi - His custom SG's also has strap mounts on the top of the horns, and his signature models also has it. I don't think that ESP's policy in this regard differs from the policy of Gibson. I rather meant why the ESP did not initially start doing this at all, given the technical characteristics of the Viper.@@RobArnoldWorld

    Ive never understood why manufacturers keep putting strap buttons in that back position, Its a huge cause for neck dive, plus it just makes wearing the strap uncomfortable. Theres been so many times where I've thought a guitar was just about perfect for me until I saw the strap button placement and then I avoided that guitar like the plague. You'd think manufacturers would figure this out by now but I guess not.

    I have an old version Ibanez Xpt700 (also known as xiphos), it had a severe neck dive issue so i changed both of the strap buttons location and it worked perfectly. Ibanez also changed it in the newer models. Some people tries adding counterweight in the electronics cavity, or get a strap with better grip. I've tried them all but changing the strap button location works the best.

    I've been struggling with neck dive for years with no real solution. So much so i stopped playing my SG years ago. Stumbled upon this video and BINGO! I followed the instructions to the absolute T including testing first with painters tape to make sure moving the button to the tip of the horn would actually help with my guitar. I learned awhile back that not all same guitars are...the same...wood density, mass, and tuning machines, all affect balance and they can vary from one SG to the other. I had previously lowered the bottom button but that didn't help at all and I wasn't confident at the time to try relocating the horn button to the tip. Anyways this worked and the mod was so simple. Thanks man!

    Followed every step on this vid. This helped me fix the neck dive on my old Mk1 Ironbird where the top strap pin was on that same part of the horn as Rob's SG here. However, I moved the pin to the inside of the curve of the horn (at the center of the inside of the horn's curve radius, like how some Jackson Warriors have their strap pins there or slightly off-center of the inside of the horn's curve), NO MORE NECK DIVE 🤟

    I had the same issue with my LTD Viper 100. However, that one had a bolt-on neck, so then one of the neck bolts was replaced by a slightly longer bolt and then the strap button was simply moved there. It was not 100% perfect but much better than before + you didn't have to drill into the body which is a risky move as it could damage the body for good.

I use straploks but I even pulled the entire thing out screw and all! It has been repaired and played many shows and today I decided to look into fixing neck dive. Safe to say I am going to buy some fishing weights! LOL! Wish me luck.

    I just bought a Flying V style bass with a neck dive issue. Since the strap button is at the bottom of the neck, there is no way to move it up. What I did was use a shoestring (which came with the strap) and tied it to the top of the neck like an acoustic guitar. Neck dive problem fixed.

    My Schecter E-1 does not dive forward, as a neck dive, but leans out from the body because the upper button is on the back side. Has anyoned experienced this, and fixed it?

    1. Put tape on edge. 2. Measure width with ruler and mark center for hole. 3. Put tape on top. 4. Rule line for drill angle. 5. Measure depth of screw. 6. Mark depth on drill bit. 7. Slowly drill hole. Do not move drill in and out as this can widen and deform the hole. 8. Hand drill the larger hole to avoid drilling beyond the original hole. Do not move drill in and out. 9. Remove tape.

    That strap button placement is the Tommy Iommy mod. I think those Dimarzio straplocks look ugly. Grolsch beer bottle cap rubbers work just as well, are way cheaper and you get the bear for free. Fender copies them and you pay four dollars for four of them without the beer.

    Does Matt mind the neck dive ? Because if he does, why didn't he design the guitar to come stock with the strap button placed the way you placed it ? This leads to my next question : how was it designing the RA600 ? I mean beyond the fact that you might have been stocked to become a signature artist, did ESP said no to some features you asked for or was it your dream guitar in every way ? Were any compromises made ? Cheers !

  • @RobArnoldWorld

    11 ай бұрын

    No compromises were made, and ESP allowed us to design the guitars exactly as we wanted. Matt probably didn't think about the strap button placement at the time. And with my RA-600, there's probably a thing or two I overlooked during the design process as well. But hey, you live and learn! It's like building your first home, or building your first studio... The second one you build will almost always be better, because of the knowledge and experience you gain from the first build!

    @@RobArnoldWorld Sure, I own a custom guitar which suffers the same issue, I overlooked some stuff that mattered more than I thougt+ I actually didn't know enough about guitars at the time to come with my perfect design. This lead into a bridge pickip to close to the bridge which make the guitar too bright for my liking and I end up not playing it at all. Probably the worst 3k I spent in my life. ESP seems like a great company to team up with, a fixed bridge RA-600 would pretty much be what I'd design if I had the same opportunity as you. Thanks for answering !
