  • Adjust the strap so that the guitar touches the ground when I'm standing straight up

  • Raise it 3/4"

  • Done

    haha. bottom line is the lower it is the crappier you play in my opinion. look at a classic guitar player and how close his fretboard is to his face. that's proper posture and any deviation from it will result in injury given any serious practice. But usually I find the lower the guitar the less serious the guitarist is about playing anything decent.
