Guitar Height

Jerry Horch · From: Alva, Florida, USA

I 've seen lots of stuff on height of guitar legs for taller or shorter legged players.Just looking for input on how high you guys like the back legs and pitch of your guitar.I used to squat it down as much as I could towards me ( undercarraige) permitting to get a little better sight angle on my fretboard. Now mostly Im pretty level with the guitar and guage it for hitting verticle knee's nicely.I got my guitar back from Paul Sr. a while back for adjustments and Paul Jr. graciously sat on it to check it over. The back end was really jacked up. Then I started looking at side shots of Jr. on stage and noticed he played with a pretty good back up angle.Could one have a higher seat and thus higher back end that could ultimately give you a totally different ankle on pedals and volume pedal ? Whats you fellers pro's and con's on your angle? Jus thinkin instead of playin again. Jerry

Your wrist should determine the height. It should neither hump nor dip as it transitions from arm to hand.
