For most guitars, this movement is not an issue. It will happen more on light weight guitars, and when players are aggressive with their knee movements.
I have a Williams and a Zum. Both are very solid and have no problem with moving around when the knee levers are engaged. I have played some guitars, especially student models, which were not so stable...

switch to an SD-10 it solves the problem
i have always hit the knee levers a bit hard and on the student model guitars (carter & GFI )
i found it to be very distracting. it wasn't as noticable on the Zum stage one _________________ proud parent of a sailor

My Pro~II moves a bit when I engage a knee lever agressively, but not enough to bother me. Certainly not an inch; maybe 1/4". I've noticed the same on lots of guitars. I suppose this could be overcome by constructing the guitar like a tank, but the added weight would far offset any benefit, IMO. Possibly a wider angle on the legs would help. It would be interesting to hear a builder's opinion on this. _________________ Johnny Thomasson |
