Ever stuff a 17" archtop between your legs?
On the second point - yes - every day.

On second thought...I prefer classical position for any guitar (without strap) if I have a foot rest to raise that left leg. Else, it goes on the right side.
Yeah, you need reasonable manspreading to fit large archtops in there

The 'conventional' Segovia classical position is a super critical , low margin for error stance .
For electric and steel string - it's possible to support picking arm at lower wrist or near base of thumb for a lot of that stuff and the Guitar does not need to point toward magnetic north , no footstool needed etc..
Of course if someone is already comfortable with hanging the arm off top of the Guitar with no additional support ( this Position prevents a LOT of people from getting good at rest strokes with I and M , prevents muting while Playing etc) -
then you need a stool , or a pillow for one foot and cannot be the Hendrix of Nylon String Guitar ( still vacant title lol ).Last edited by Robertkoa; 07-21-2019 at 02:21 PM.

Imo (an really just my own) barre is one of the key issues between those two. In jazz, small barres are super common and thankfully super comfortable to play when guitar hanging on the right side of the body.
