The what ever thread...

You're all cooler than me. I play with my guitar at like John Dwyer height.
Robert Trujillo...now that is a specimen for low strap.

I kinda have a thing for this look actually. I don't think it's that dorky, and don't cringe at that like I do whenever I see someone with a guitar (not a bass, that's usually more understandable) at their knees. You can reach some wild chords with it all that high.
I play a 24" too for the wrist cramps etc, and have always assumed my wrist was just bad because I broke it and it didn't get reset, so it doesn't bend properly, it's kind of relieving to see other people have the same issue.
Dude from Church of Misery is by far the lowest/most bizarre I've seen, it's bizarre.

Just saw them a couple of weeks ago and he rips.

Same!

:joy: Same!

And like 'you' I started playing higher up when I got an extended range (30'' 9-String). I remember trying to play it like I was Mick Ronson or something and my wrist was like, "Hey Man...Fuck you..."

If your arm is going around the back of the guitar like that, you're playing it too high.

I always thought that for those you were to go more stick style..

That was for IM, not Mudfuzz, cause IM is being a Fascist!!

Fascism is the sexiest ideology.

Well...you obviously have never been smothered by the armpit of a QT Anarcho-Communist girl.

I started playing high when I was in a couple tech-death bands in like 2003, and same thing. The wrists pulling that J.. they weren't having it.

Actually I just checked for the purposes of this thread and I'm not nearly as high placement as I'm presenting myself to be. Def above the dick, above the belt buckle (I wear my pants at the waist). The top of my strat shaped body hits my sternum, lower pecs. Even on my 9 string so whoops...not that high.
This is probably a better representation. Paul Masvidal style.

i have it so that the waist on my mustang sits under where a tiddy would go. that's as short as the couch strap goes.
