Strap Height

In my previous entry, I talked about straps and straplocks. Now I am going to talk about the recommended strap heights.

As you know strap is important for every guitar player who wants to play guitar while standing. The strap height is also quite important if you want to consider playing for gigs etc. It will ultimately decides whether you look cool or not onstage. So if you want to pursue playing for gigs in the future, make a habit to adjust your straps low. Not too low until the guitar touches the floor of course. Adjust it low to a point where it is still comfortable to play but at the same time, not so high up. Search around the net for famous guitarists and look at the way they adjust the strap heights. You'll get a clearer picture from there.

The thing about adjusting your strap high is that you tend to look like a nerd. Of course, by playing high, you tend to play your guitar easily. But then you gonna look totally uncool. In this era that we live in now, image plays a very important part. And this is one of the thing that you should take note of. So keep adjusting till find the suitable strap height that balances the image and playability point that I was talking about.
