Dear Mr Leeward,

I personally find it reprehensible that the major manufacturers have concentrated almost entirely on the familiar "vertical" guitar that you see so commonly even in reputable retailers. Some unscrupulous retailers have tried to disguise this glaring inadequacy by placing their vertical guitars on a stand such that they are angled backwards to give the impression of "semi-horizontality"...a practice that is to be abhorred.

Until the musical community can convince the major manufacturers of the need for a true horizontal or semi-horizontal guitar, I am afraid your only real choice is to play a vertical guitar whilst in a horizontal or semi-horizontal position.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Guitar
