Hang em high or hang em low….. straps ^_^

[thegame]

No one wears their guitars lower than these little dudes:

 

[GreatRedDragon]

I go fairly low. When I play seated I play in classical position, so I'm used to having my right arm straight. Im 6'2" so I need to find straps that are over 60".

Plus it looks cool.

 

[Ricky Rockhardo]

Medium. But per the pic above, angle matters

 

[marvcus]

When the trem spring cavity covers my junk, that’s about the height.

 

[CoreyW]

I would say medium low, my pick points right at where my belt buckle would be. I’m 6’1” so I look like a goof if I tried to go much higher with it.

Realistically I wear mine medium low, my arms don’t reach like that

 

[The~Kid]

Pretty much whatever height I have sitting down I use standing up.


For me its just better on my back and its easier to play too.


Not George Harrison high or Morello but high for sure.

SRV didn’t hang it low, maybe medium. I think he raised it over the years.

Jimi hung it medium or medium high and so did EVH. Neither ever looked like a dork to me. Hanging it too low looks dorky to me. It has a ‘not-comfortable-in-my-own-skin’ vibe. Jimi and EVH appeared to hang it for playing comfort as it should be.

 

[Robostyle]

High for me. Years ago i discovered that it's easier to see, and more comfortable.

 

[phillybhatesme]

Higher than high cause I’m a big dork.

 

[Chase42147]

I like the looks of low, but can only play as well as sitting if it's high. So I go medium and only suck about 25% more than when sitting. Perfect balance

 

[Maguchi]

How they hangin'?

 

[PeteLaramee]

I used to go medium, but now that I have a belly it now hangs higher. LOL

 

[skoora]

I used to go medium, but now that I have a belly it now hangs higher. LOL

Yeah there needs to be a 4th option on the poll…
Low
Medium
High
Outward

There was a Joan Jett quote........."pussy to the wood"......just sayin

 

[The~Kid]

Looks like medium is taking the core vote.

I’ve been describing mine as “Hetfield height, anywhere from the AJFA-TBA days” for about 2 years now. If I let everything fall naturally, my right hand sits right above the bridge at picking height and my left hand goes right for the 12th fret. Since I’m generally singing while playing live, it’s a big comfort to not have to look down but still know exactly where I’m going.

Unfortunately I have to go medium high.. had a wrist injury that keeps me form playing it too low. Rather look like a dork than not be able to play. I'm no longer playing out, so that doesn't matter

 

[Monkey Man]

Medium to high.

Left wrist can't take the bend required for a low hang.
