How low do you have your guitar?

When playing while standing how low do you have your guitar? I just recently started keeping mine a lower than I usually did. Now my picking arm forms more of a 120 degree angle rather than a 90 degree angle...... I suppose this is a tricky thread to talk about without pics. Let's put it this way it's a little higher than Jimmy Page keeps his. How about you guys?

my universe sits about half way up my abdomen. high enough to where it's comfortable to play, low enough so it doesn't look dorky.

I keep the middle of the guitar about even with my waste, it's more important to be able to play it then look cool and I'm not just playing down-picked power chords. I do wear it a little low and tilt the neck up for the harder things.

I play it at exactly the same height whether I'm standing or sitting.
And I couldn't care less who thinks it's dorky :^).

Lower part of the guitar aligned with my bellybutton, upper horn just below my pex.

the top part of the guitar around my waist below the bellybutton

Jemaholic has his a bit lower than I do. I'm like Roland, I guess. I have mine way too high to be cool.
I did lower it for a band I was in who all complained about it. I did it for one show. In the end I just went back to being dorky but comfortable.

I always put my left leg up on my bed, rest the guitar up on my leg and adjust the guitar strap from there. This turns out to be the most comfortable playing position for me.
