 :lol:    :lol:    :lol: <br><br>Hey Mikespe....the SAME thing happened to me with my 12 string that I recently got.  I was thinking about POLISHING the pick guard as there were lots of  scratches on it.  I never thought for a moment that it had the protective film on it as the guitar was made 10 years ago.   I STILL have the film on it and I, too, wonder if it will sound better.  :wink: <br><br>Great guitar you have,  and nice strap.  <br><br>Dennis]]></content:encoded>

Oh I don't use that cheap thing except maybe for leashing the neighbor's dog!  :lol: <br><br>I could really care less what it looks like...I DO however like the angle better than I did sitting. It almost feels like the best of the classical and regular sitting positions (guitar resting on left leg/right leg)...]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Greybeard's method is by far the standard, but there really are no laws or anything, you can do whatever you like. You hang your guitar somewhat higher then medium, about the same height Bob Dylan hangs his guitar. In general having the guitar higher will give you a greater and more comfortable reach whereas a low position is usually considered to look fancier. I suggest you keep it as this level and see for yourself if it is too high/low for your taste. It really is just preference.<br><br>Oh, and congrats on it.

After an HOUR! Try like 15 minutes my back was killing me! Those suckers are heavy!! However I do like that it is much easier to adjust your guitar so that the neck is angled upward which amkes it easier to play. Without the right height stool/chair it's tougher to do that sitting.<br><br>Thanks]]></content:encoded>
