Seems like no one's mentioned this so far, but often neck dive can be alleviated by just getting a different strap.

If you're using a nylon or seatbelt material strap, those are super slick and will easily allow a top-heavy guitar or bass to slide down on your shoulder. On the other end of the spectrum, a suede strap basically won't allow any sliding or movement at all.

Some people find suede straps to be too restrictive (and then other people like that about them), so personal preference comes into play, etc.

I've got a few straps I bought from a local company in Nashville that have a textured cloth backing, and I've found it to be a great in-between. They have some grip and don't slide around freely on my shoulder, but it's not so grippy that I can't intentionally adjust the guitar's position if I want to. The company's called Original Fuzz, the straps are all handmade and kinda pricey (I was willing to pay more to support a local shop), but you may be able to find something cheaper somewhere. I'm sure there are some mass-produced cloth-material straps out there.

Mods can you please add
