yes, its rounded in a half circle, i don't see how its physically possible for it to slip if its on your knee in the center of the half-circle tbh

I can see someone with short arms not liking the Mockingbird or Kelly standing, because they do tend to shift the guitar to the neck side standing up. But sitting both are supremely comfortable. Explorers sit more to the neck side than Mockingbirds or Kellys.
Explorers without arm bevels can be a little gnarly. Mine was a 25th Anniversary so it had a bevel but many do not.

Amazing playing guitar but i prefer it standing. I don't like where it sits on my lap. I just wish I could find a long strap because it is so wide that I can't get it low enough with any of the straps I have. If anyone can recommend a nice long leather strat that would be great

Levy's XL leather straps work for for me.

I played my old Explorer all the time sitting down and liked it just fine. Wish I had another one actually.

Not really and that big wing torques your back.

Coming from superstrats I did not like the fin, stuck to my arm too much. Both them and V's look very cool but aren't initially comfortable for me, if you really liked it I'm sure you could get used to it but try one first.

Extremely comfortable, to my suprise when I grabbed my first one in 2019 it was the most comfortable and balanced shape I’ve played sitting and standing. No Neck Dive and not 10lbs too Haha. Hopefully it jives with you too!
