Just bought a new guitar, an epiphone SG to be specific (left handed) and the headstock is very heavy?

Question

Is it like this for all of them, as when i stand with the guitar the whole neck just drops right down if im not holding it. My strat sits up perfectly regardless if im holding.

My sg is very uncomfortable to hold standing up, is there anything i can do?

5* for best answer!

Answer 1

the gibson sg model is a very heavy guitar .   since gibson makes epiphone i wouldn't think there would be much  difference.you might try strapping it on a little higher

Answer 2

Try using another kind of guitar strap.  I have a leather strap which provides enough friction to keep the neck of the guitar from drooping.

Answer 3

SG is notorious for having a heavier head than body, whether its a gibson or a epiphone
