Broken neck

If anyone has the fix to broken neck from hunching over the guitar all day I'd love to hear it.Just don't say regular breaks because I already would if I could

Play standing up and try practicing without looking.Or get a lesson from a teacher who specialises in such things.

Quit and play chess instead.

Stand up would be my answer too. Play looking at a mirror?

I saw this and thought "dropped your Les Paul eh?!!"

Hot bath, as hot as you can stand.  Ibuprofen Gel, and try not to hunch when playing guitar.

Pull the guitar flat against your tummy so you cant see the fretboard.

By hanging you up on a big wooden cross thing?

Get some lessons and focus on your posture  - you shouldn't be hunched .......

make every muscle in your back stronger. You hunch forwards because they are weaker than the ones in front
