"hangs at horizontal"That's a bit unusual, isn't it? Aren't most of them more unbalanced than that?
When I had Gary's Embassy it did not hang at horizontal. I never found out how low it would go. I was afraid if I took my hand off the neck the headstock would hit the ground.
A simple "hows it hanging" could apply to most Gibsons i think.
That's right, I remember you had a counterweight bag hanging off the bottom strap button.
Yes, and if that "counterweight bag" was from natural sources then I always found that one sacrifice too far!
