Second neck wrist issues with Stringmaster

Bill McCloskey · Posted 24 Jan 2013 1:16 pm

This is something new for me. As I slowly discover my Stringmaster quad, I've noticed some issues when playing on the second neck. Apparently my wrist dips low, which is not a problem if I'm playing a single neck but on the stringmaster the height of second neck forces my wrist into a more horizontal position.

This not only causes some cramping in my wrist, but I feel like I have less control of the bar. Anyone else notice or have this problem. I've never noticed the problem with other multineck laps I've had.

It's been a while since I had my quad, but I remember that it took some getting used to... reaching over the neck(s). I don't think I had any cramping in my wrist though. Have you tried a different seat height? That might change your wrist angle on the necks?

I make the back (toward me) higher than the front so that my wrists are not too flat... by several inches. I can really feel the difference without this.

Great suggestions all. Tried Stephen's advice and it helped. I think it is also just something to get used to.
