Recently I noticed a lot of discussions about neck dive issues on Explorers and different recommendations how to solve it. Does anyone have any actual experience with the Pitbull Explorer? I am asking because as I know the exact weight distribution of the guitar is important in this question. Some even recommend putting lead counterweights into the electronics cavity, but I would not like to make the instrument even heavier than it is now, so I guess it is up to the strap pin positions...
I did not drill any holes for the strap pins yet, so any advice would be much appreciated!
