Proper Guitar Neck Rest Etiquette! 🎸⚡️

The idea here is to defy gravity!

Placing the neck rest by the guitar’s head stock give gravity the opportunity to pull down on the guitar causing the neck to bow slightly, throwing your finer measurements off.

To avoid this, simply place the neck rest under the 7th to 9th fret. From here there is less room for the neck to flex. Giving you the ability to make more accurate adjustments.

You forgot to factor in the coriolis effect, Tides, and celestial gravities.

Tuned strings also contribute to neck stress. Detune ur strings or remove them for long term storage

omg i thought i was just me, i dont use this anymore because of this reason that i might accidentally lean and break lol, i made a foam that i slip under between the joint that still balance my guitar, or 2 pillow, under headstock and the joint. this also depend of what im gonna do, cleaning or pickup swap. all depends.

Good advice. I'll do it... thanks

I use a cut out pringle‘s can for my setup.

[SevenPain]

I was taught make adjustments in playing position

Similarly, never lean an axe handle up against the wall. Overnight? Wont change much, but over a week, or a month, or through the winter? Youre gonna have a banana with an axe head on it.

Eh i call bull on that one i can’t imagine it has that much effect to do anything

[cali.delinquent]

Does it really matter? At that point why not just lay it flat

[Craig-xfox]

Or....follow me here....do the adjustments in playing position.

[silverspork]

No, it's not. Not enough to make any measurable difference.
