Yes it will add more weight to your shoulders and back but it may help make someone's uncomfortable bass more manageable. http://www.whoisjaylamm.com/2013/05/21/make-your-own-guitar-counterweight-for-neck-heavy-instruments-a-special-how-to/ Jazzyvee rustyg61 Senior Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 1135 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - 11:42 am:    That's pretty ingenious! Do you have a problem with neck dive on your SII Europa? jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 3881 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 - 12:38 pm:    Nope all the europa's I have balance perfectly.
