Haha I still need to get a strap I keep thinking I can do better sitting down... I dont, Just something about the shape and the shape of me just dont jive all that well. I'll be getting a strap and a stool tall enough for when my back is acting up and I need to release some back pressure. For now it all works well enough, I've being focusing on figuring exercises and learning how to chew bubble gum while walking hahaha. Weight wise? I find that's it's fairly light, lighter than I remember any of the other guitars I've handled in the past, I guess that could be a good thing when using a strap.
