In my quest for a new shredaxe, the Jackson RR5 has crossed my mind
http://www.jacksonguitars.com/products/pro...duct=2913002877 My question, is it comfortable to sit and play with for hours? I`m already kinda used to play on the "classic way" with the guitar resting on the left foot... but haven`t tried it out with a V guitar. Because except from that issue...I think I`m in love with the guitar. Stringthrough, neckthrough, SD humbuckers, AWESOME finish and a body that really demands attention! Also...I don`t know, but believes that the neck is a bit thin and great for blazin leads (even if I`m not capable of playing that yet  )

Jackson necks are not quite as thin as Ibanez necks. But the RR is a thinner neck than most Jacksons I believe.
I used to have a RR3. I played it sitting just fine. On the right leg. Just as Zakk said. Or I'd lean back in my chair and have it right where it would be if I were standing. Not good posture, but it worked there too. QUOTE (jer @ Feb 19 2009, 05:32 PM)  Jackson necks are not quite as thin as Ibanez necks. But the RR is a thinner neck than most Jacksons I believe.

That axe looks awesome!
I had something like this Epiphone Flying-V It had a great sound, but was awful for playing when sitting... couldn't wait to get rid of it

I was actually surprised how comfortable it was to sit with a flying-v when i tried a friends Dean a few weeks ago.
