Heads Up strap

Post by pjmuck »

I came across this today:

There are many cheaper options out there to counteract neck dive, but I think it's a nice clean interesting alternative to dropping weights inside the control cavity, moving or drilling new strap buttons, using wide leather straps with an affixed sandpaper underside, etc. ;) FAQ answers a few obvious questions:

At the very least, you could "borrow" their concept and modify your favorite strap to do the same. :twisted:

Thanks for pointing out a new product. Looks like a great concept, and one the could be used on an existing strap.

In the topsy-turvy world of heavy rock, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful...

A really good idea for those not minding having the extra weight pulling on your neck, and giving you pinched nerves, I know what that's like, believe me.
