Nope. It's EASY, if not better than sitting down with a strat body guitar.

Re: Is the RR1 hard to play sitting down?
I actually used to do that. It was the only way to keep the guitar from sliding down. I also had a few top heavy v's that I would use that position even standing up. I just don't get how you could think that positioning a Rhoads between your legs could be more comfortable than a strat bodied guitar but different strokes for different folks I guess. Since I have been playing them I have always thought that the Rhoads or any other V style guitar were meant to be played standing up or sitting down as long as you have a strap.

It makes it real easy to play.I have no eyes, fuck-mook!

All Jacksons are suprisingly ergonomic. The Rhoads is cake to play sitting down...just takes a short while to get used to. I like it quite a lot actually. Even the Kelly works perfect sitting down...although standing up it takes big time neck-dive...but you can't have everythign I guess.

When I play my strat shaped guitars I actually balanced them on my LEFT leg, putting them up in the classical postion, just like the RR1 sits when you put the "V" over your right leg. It's always fun to watch the doofusi in music stores try and play a V sitting down like a strat and get all frustrated when they keep sliding out underneath them.

I'm with Ace on this one. This is the way I sit with all my guitars. Just more comfy to me with the neck at that angle.Scott
