Try a heavy leather strap before drilling holes in your rhoads.

and i thought it was only bc rich who didn't take precautions regarding neck dive. it's a shame really, because i'd like to have a rx10d in amber burst to complement my trans-black wrmg. i might end up forcing myself to go for a strat shaped jackson next time. the hardcase scenario is also a big influence.

I would like to know the same thing as it also pertains to my KVX10. If I move it to the top neck plate screw position, can I use the same screw, or do I need a slightly longer one?

so long as the screw is shorter than the thickness of the body at the neckplate area, i'd assume you'd minus a couple mil off that to be sure you don't impale the neck.

Re: where is your Rhoads front strap button??????

if the above works, that's good. but i was thinking of drilling a small hole between the front two neck screws because i wouldn't want to risk the neck falling out of alignment as a result of taking out the neck screw to put the strap button in place.

Re: where is your Rhoads front strap button??????

This is how I did mine...works perfect. Using one of the strap button spots still made it hang "wierd"...

Newc did a mod to his KV, putting the strap button on the edge of the neck pocket.
