Are you a giant? that strap is fully extended, and the guitar is at belly height.

Ps: I can’t play the video at the moment, I’m just commenting on the opening image. I’ll listen when I get back to the hoose
i'm 6 foot 4, but it is quite a short strap.
Cool demo nice sounds, mad tuning (alternate tunings freak me out how do you know where to put your fingers?)

Ps: thats about twice the hight of some shortscalers...or should that be shortscalers?

i used to have an old burns from the 60s. very versatile, i think it was called bulldog or something.
BUT it was a pain to set up (stings!!!) and i remember the neck being very uncomfortable.
i'll try to dig up a pic of it.

I don't really have any amps in the house, so I have nothing to play either of them through. I need to do some demos soon though I guess, so I'll get Jim to bring my Peavey home in the next few weeks.

Here’s my shit attempt at a demo of this guitar:

as I said I ain’t got any video equipment so it just has a sort of running title indicating what pickup is being used (and plenty of mistakes).

well that's the sounds it makes...

Cool tones. 8)
I might lower my pups a bit, they are breaking up even on the 'Twang' setting of the Amp.
