Hej Patrick, that looks like it has potential for me. You look pretty comfortable in that position. Is that the high version of the cushion you have? Btw, how tall are you, I am 176 cm.

It's the small cushion. I haven't tried the tall one. I am 172 cm tall, and the small one is perfect for me.

I've been going to physical therapy for shoulder/neck/back issues that were hindering my playing and that had made a world of difference! That plus playing lighter guitars and keeping better posture

I never used a stand, but i'd miss 'feeling one with the guitar'.
I am most comfortable with a classical guitar with a cutaway. It's light. In terms of comfort weight is very impartant.

From my classical side I can’t recommend a leg cushion highly enough. My problem wasn’t so much back pain as hip/leg while using a foot rest. There are models from both Dynarette and Oasis. I have a long back, so I had tried many mechanical ones that suction on. But they all to me felt restrictive. The cushions are not…they move with you. (Check out Accessories at strings by mail dot com.)
I like them so much I use them with my arch tops. (I use my left thigh). But… a strap works just fine too.
Most comfy guitar I had was a Jaguar…loved the cut of the body. Me, Citizen74, and Joe Pass Lolol.

I am shortish (5'8", 172cm) and I have a short waist which means playing seated doesn't leave a lot of room between my thigh and armpit. Acoustically, I've found a small bodied 12 fret works best in a classical position. I use a Taylor CE 312CE which has a cutaway. A 14 fret acoustic move my left arm to far away from my body causing discomfort.
For electric playing, I've tried everything including classical position, Dynarette cushions, straps, etc. Tried all the positions (Kama Sutra for guitar players. lol.) I've tried playing a 17" archtop in the classical position but it feels like I'm hugging a small bear. Smaller body electrics feel funny in the classical position. I find the most comfortable is a smaller bodied electric like a Strat, Tele, or Johnny A, using a tall stool, and playing the guitar on my right thigh with a strap. I would love to try a Forshage like Jim's. I also toyed with the idea buying a Warmoth neck and fabricate a custom body like a Forshage.
Comfort is now the #1 consideration when I buy a guitar. I feel I can get the sound I want out of most guitar.
