Hi!
So i have this squire strat that i've flipped the strings on, cause im a lefty, and moved the upper strat button from the big horn to the small horn. The thing is, because the short horn is a couple inches shorter then the other, the guitar is a little neck-heavy and has this tendancy to try to smack its headstock into the ground, and its a little annoying to play standing...
So, i was wondering, if i lowered to the bottom strap button (ie, move it away from the jack plate, toward the ground--if your holding the guitar left-handed) would it help to re-balance the guitar a little, so it wouldn't be as neck-heavy?

Thx!

*Edit* I just realized that moving it away from the jack wouldn't help at all... but towards the jack might help!!

Didn't seem to bother Hendrix any.

Buy this instead of drilling more holes in the guitar:

I "Hendrixed"my lefty Strat for right handed but quickly got used to the neck-dive tendancy-which isn't nearly as bad as that of my SG.Give it time and you'll hardly notice it.
