Clever

[@maxproud]

Way cool! I assume very comfortable for you? 😊

[@EdEditz]

Yes it is. Makes playing standing up much more comfortable.

Hello! Im trying to make this extender on my hohner b2a, it's really uncomfortable for me! It's funny, because lap stand work's great with leg, but with strap they overthinking with 3 strap dots, and none of it is usable 😂. I finished the cardboard version, hope aluminium one is gonna work together, thank you for your work and mind to come up with this!

[@EdEditz]

Well the one in the video is of course made to measure for myself but you don't have to follow the shape design I used. You can for instance go straight up for a bit and then left to the 12th fret. You need to make a cardboard template that works for you, you don't have to copy my design exactly.

I did a similar thing too (a little more invasive than yours, just one added screw). The original Steinbergers and the Synapse models have a strap extender available but, unfortunately the Spirit models do not. So a lot of fellas try to find a solution, understandably... 😅 Here's my take on the issue (English subtitles available) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4ikdaiggpiDiJY

That's an excellent solution too. Very well done!

Very kinky! Isn't it bizarre that we have to make these things - it's like Gibson don't want to make money with small things ;-)

[@EdEditz]

Exactly, they should have provided something like this.

@@EdEditz Ned did - there again we didn't buy ourselves an L2 here :-). I strung mine E to C and with some FX it can get quite Royal Blood. It also sounds good in the 2nd octave so like a decent guitar. As our band commented "not bad for a plank of wood"

@@stephenhookings1985 I think it's a great instrument. I'm very happy with the bass. Like you said Ned provided a pivot plate but we didn't buy an L2. As an instrument I love it though. I love the sound of it and how well it plays and how good it looks of course. Certainly not bad for a plank of wood :D 😊👌👍
