Let's spread some musical misinformation

I'm terribly sorry!
^ THAT'S misinformation.
If it’s Budweiser that’s easily doable. If on the other hand it was 4 pints of “auld Roger “ you would be in the intensive care unit
The best way to prevent neck dive on a thunderbird is to screw the strap button into the back of the neck at the 12th fret. This should be a self tapping screw long enough to bite into the truss rod which will improve tuning stability
Psh, no you definitely should have those 2 extra drinks before getting on stage and bring 2 more for during the first set.
Then continue with some whiskey, gin or rum during the second set.
Or if not whiskey, AT LEAST 2 9%'ers. Preferably a stout or something super heavy.
Actually the best way to cure neck dive is to take the truss rod out of the neck completely, which makes the neck lighter. This also gives a nice elegant curve to the neck.
*** THIS POST IS HUMOUR - DO NOT DO THIS TO ANY MUSICAL INSTRUMENT ***
uh oh, what if I already did this to my '05 Rickenbacker because I thought it'd help with the twisting of the neck!?!?!
If it's a Gibson, the machine heads can be removed as well, as Gibsons stay in tune anyway.
It’s quite possible the headstock has already detached itself from the neck. Which means no further action required
Don't post things like that here, Someone might believe you!
The best way to cure neck dive is to remove the neck completely and whack the drummer with it each time they make a mistake
Just remember that us drummers have sticks that don't have to be detached before we hit you with them.
