Been away for awhile. I run a 90 degree plug on my V, run the cord to the inside of the strap button and have the wireless unit clipped to the strap maybe 10 inches above the strap lock. Never had an issue. Doesn't get caught on anything and I move around a lot. I'll see if I can find a pic.

Our V thread has slowed to a crawl. In some other places the subject has shown some of my progress in the V department.

However, as we are approaching 7 days since the last message here on Friday, It is less than 24 hours away from my first Gib V.
As some know, I made my interest a bit more serious to the guy I bought my PRS Santana SE off. He basically dropped his price on his 2007 Faded Cherry V to where I could feel comfortable affording his V over some of the others I also wanted. I'll meet him @ 6 PM tomorrow to check it out and unless something is hugely jacked up, it will be mine.

I had to go all the way back to the beginning of this thread, to check and see if I had posted a family photo of my V’s

Honestly, if you are standing up there is no real difference between playing a V and an SG as far as the cord goes.

I will begin my own NGD thread including pics as per MITCH.
Stay tuned for the good stuff once I return from picking up my new Cherry V at 6 pm Thurs.

Here is a teaser from the seller.

That's what I would do. Would need a bit o slack in the cable for sure.

But getting that V shape slung over your leg ala M Schenker means the cord has to go somewhere

The coily cord hanging straight down is a disaster waiting to happen IMO.

It would need slack to go up to the strap lock. My concern was maybe hitting it. As per...

MItch, I just noticed the hole in the black sheet. That reminded me of some of my shorts or boxers when I get snagged on a nail or something sharp on the jobsite.

The black sheet was just to enhance the color of the V’s, to be truthful I hadn’t even noticed the hole in the damn thing ha ha..

I figured why it was there, and same reaction from me. Saw the pic numerous times and just now see the hole cuz I was staring at the V's any other time.

3-1/2 more hours till you meet up with the seller, break a leg Mark.
Looking forward to the NGD thread

I have just enough slack in the cable that if you hook the guitar over your leg the cable just moves deeper into the V.

Made it home and unloaded groceries, guitar, briefcases etc,

All seems to check out. No Crackles or pops or gritty odd sounds etc. Feels great, action good and low, Black Winter pups definitely chug and does Sabbath, Metallica, Krokus with ease. HAHA, when Kevin was playing it at his studio some of his licks made me think of Eat the Rich!!

Yes! This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^is what I do if I’m not going to be tied to a mic stand for the evening.
Never been a problem for me.

Short of having the playing skills of Bdon, Headache, Mitch and anyone else with a Faded Cherry V, I have the tool ( albeit not a Moon Inlay Ebony board version.
Much like my Faded Brown SG, this V rocks the same vibe and feel.
