I prefer to keep my guitar so it blocks the crotch area. You never know when someone will run up on stage and punch you in the dick.

I let the ladies check out my sugar lumps while I play.

Yeah, I play with my guitar embarassingly high on my torso, but it's so comfy that way. I do play around knee high when I bust out the air bass though.

Might be something to it. Tom Morello always has his guitar up pretty high.

I started doing that a couple of years ago when I decided to work on my technique more; I'd been gigging more at the time and breaking at least a string at every gig).
When I play gigs I still have my guitar lower down, but practicing with it higher improves your playing massively.

When I think of high guitar, I always think of Tom Morello and Vernon Reid

I play my bass pretty low, right below my waist
