This topic is very easy. See that huge gap between the horns, duct tape a ream of paper in there.  :laughing7:

It would take some fabricating, but I saw something that might work. Ned Steinberger came up with a strap holder that extends beyond the neck screws. This should stretch you out a little bit, helping with balance.

Here's a link of what I'm talking about:

If you look around at other V's not made by Gibson most will have a strap button somewhere up the body on the inside of the V not on the end where Gibson puts it. 

I don't really think it's a weight issue at all.  I think you just have to learn how to play a V, they all do that.
