guitar balance

[kuang89]

here is my dilema, i like les pauls, but i dun like to use it...
u see, when u play electric guitars standing, if u do ur normal playing, a les paul will most probably untilt itself to level the headstock wif the entire guitar body...whereas a strat will stay in place...is it possible for a les paul to do tat? cos i like to play wif the headstock high till ard my shoulder level, and constantly playing it will not untilt it...
tis is wat level wif entire body means

tis is wat i meant by tilted(altho not actually very tilted, but rather the camera angle...but tilt to the headstock is near the shoulder level

i'm using slowhand's picts for referencing, not a serious fan but i think he has it all, look at him play differently from tis 2 picts

can advice me on and les pauls tat can have wat i want..or maybe is it possible to change to the strap buttons of a SG guitar to put it at the top "horns", will it balance out?

long post...thanks

you could use a leather strap, those with the furry undersides.

when I first played my BCRich Virgin it was nearly parallel to the ground, which made it really hard to play when you are standing xD, is it the same problem you're having?

Yeah, you can use those straps with friction or rough material underneath, it would prevent the neck from sliding downwards. Look at Slash!
