how's it sound thru your Traynor?
Fuzz, plus chorus plus the Traynor and the V sound fucking awesome. Power chords sound very defined. :-*

I'm very happy with this purchase. I'd say one of my better ones.

As much as im liking the sound and playability, im not sure how i feel about sitting while playing it, ive tried a few different ways, and they all seem uncomfortable to me... :mellow: :(

The only way to sit with a V, in my opinion, is with the treble side wing in between your legs. Puts the neck at about a 45 degree angle, and it doesn't want to slip/tilt/move around. You can do it with both feet flat on the floor, but I find it even more comfortable and stable if the left foot is raised a bit, like with a footstool.

Granted, I'm used to the classical position, but it's highly ergonomic in terms of wrist angle etc, and the V is perfectly suited to it - much more so than most electric guitars.

Yeah, ive tried that too. But it takes to much effort to sit still.

I love this guitar don't get me wrong, i spent maybe 2 hours last night playing, and yes i play with the opening in between my legs. (wtf, that doesn't sound right)

Didn’t matter what i did, any position made it uncomfortable on my lower back and neck.

Also for what is worth, i have scoliosis on my lower back ,so playing standing up, will give me a lower back ache within a half hour of playing. So i almost always play sitting down.

Ah, bummer. They're just about the most comfortable guitars I've ever played, but that type of thing is always personal. Sorry to hear that the ergonomics don't work as well for you.
