Re: Kelly\'s balancing problem?
I have been gone for a week and just read this thread today. I have a JK-20 Pro that balanced horribly. I tried five different strap button locations and never did find any that solved both the guitar leaning away and the neck dive problems without affecting playability. The final solution that has worked for me is simple. Using the stock strap button locations, run the strap from the lower (farthest from neck) button over the front of the body instead of behind. This eliminates the Kelly leaning away from you and I can change the neck angle between level and about 45 degress and it will stay where I put it if I let go of the neck. I use dunlop straplocks if that makes any difference. I think your body size may determine how well the various fixes work. I am 5' 10" and weigh about 180. This may help if the other fixes don't.
