Ditto. I've got a nice heavy leather one on the CST, but it's about the same height... a Cliplock all the way in is about right.

now, if only they gripped a little better, lol.

Nice pice, Wayne! I actually where my guitar high but not that high.

I actually brought my strap up a little last night at practice...felt good playing, then the damn drummer made some comment about it looking dumb...I hate drummers

I wear mine pretty low (not as low as some guys though). Buuuut. I'm pretty tall (6'2") and have pretty big hands with long fingers.

Nothing wrong with having it high, though. I wear mine low not just because it looks cool that way, but because I'm comfortable playing at that length. And, don't worry. I've never injured myself, so maybe I'm not wearing it as low as some of you might imagine. But much much lower than that pic. The body is around my hip, stomach, and privates area.

wearing your guitar real low can cause damage to your wrists, and my wrists are allready quite weak

My guitar is fairly heavy, so i find having it higher up hurts my back and shoulders more than if it's hanging a little lower. And when it's low, it just looks so RAWK.

Me too. I have a Gibson Les Paul which is daaang heavy. I wear it even lower than my Ibanez. And, yes, low guitar is "so RAWK" (lots of great guitarists come to mind). I've been playing guitar for 6 years and never once injured my wrists. So either the people who injure themself have too small of wrists or wear their guitars REALLY low. Steve Vai and Joe Satriani don't wear their guitars high at all. They wear them just a little higher than I wear mine. John Petrucci wears his a little high though.
