Ha ha its been a long journey though strap lengths from me, short to very long and now back to resaonably long. Its now so that when my les paul neck is pointing 45 degrees, kind north east if you like, that the toggle switch area of the guitar is just below my belly button.

Call my sad but years ago i analysed guns n roses videos to gauge how low slash guitar was :)
Now when i let my arm fall hanging down, the bridge where i rest my hand when pickin is only a couple of inchs higher then my arm hanging normally!

You notice people like me and slash ( :) ) hold our guitars up to play solos! Its cos we cant reach the high frets!

Also the coolness depends on jean tightness and t-shirt length lol! I saw a pic of me playing guitar that someone took and i was ashamed! The t-shirt hang too low, so now i tuck it in a bit!
Hee hee the key to a kool looking rockstar is proportion!
