Only a few months into playing PSG, but I've watched 2 very talented men play my whole life, and it's always pedals away.

Having said that, if the case isn't made specifically to put the guitar in that way, I would say it's subjective. I mean is there a single way to hold a bar? No Do people with Day setup on their pedals tell those with Emmons setup they have their pedals.backwards????? No, not unless they are just unaware of the other setup. If it works for you, you don't need to Chang a thing, if it's ok for the guitar. Thanks my.2 cents

As for the pedals, in the face of overwhelming opinion I admit I do it wrong. As soon as I correct ALL the other things I do wrong on the steel, I'll start working on this one! Mr. Green

Well my view is if it doesn't damage your guitar. That's yhe real.question. it's like how do you put your legs in yhe puch. I have a certain way I do it, but that's how I was taught


If you're comfortable with it, and.it doesn't harm the instrumwnt I'm sure.you've invested a lot of yime, money, sweat and tears in, then do you!
