Yeah I have to go with shortening the strap as well. Or a thicker one. Luckily my Kramer doesn't do it toooo too bad. But, I did combat it by moving it up a little higher

Maybe get some sort of ankle weight type thing and wrap it around your strap near the bottom peg?
I haven't tried that so I'm just shooting in the dark there. I sort got used to supporting it with my fret hand and strumming fore arm...

I played in a band with a guy who did that. Seemed sort of unnecessary to me, but it worked for him.

Made the executive decision, not getting a black Anodize. Everything is ready and I was waiting 1-2 months for it to get done and probably wouldn't be done for a while anyway. So i'm sticking to the standard finish.
I'll live, I just want it already

Ya know, I honestly wonder: would a guitar-belt strap be better for you if you had shoulder/back pain? Cuz while it looks a bit ridiculous, I'm intrigued by the concept.

I don't like to have my elbows bent all the time.

that's the real drawback to the ECG/Harvester mode...you can't test-play before you buy.

They should have an owner outreach program, where they'll get you in touch with someone who lives in your area who owns one you can try.

Haha that's too true! I feel like proselytizing and sermonizing all day about my EGC, it just sounds that good. I think the aluminum sound just speaks to some people, so bright and clear and ballsy and chimey, and once you get that in your ear-holes you're hooked.
