Members Poltergeist Posted December 30, 2012 Members Share Posted December 30, 2012 i will use almost anything as a strap. right now i have straps and straplocks for every guitar i use regularly, but i'm not fussy about them at all, only one of them is a kinda fancy one really wide with gel.

Members SonicMoniker Posted December 30, 2012 Members Share Posted December 30, 2012 I'm not clearly, all straps just feel the same to me. In this case, I figured an ugly strap for an ugly guitar made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JRBain Posted December 30, 2012 Members Share Posted December 30, 2012 I barely do. I like DiMarzio cliplocks because they have a locking system that is simple, unobtrusive and built-in (no additional paraphernalia needed), and the straps are cheap, available and comfortable. I have to hitch the strap up to get it high enough, but that's a minor issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you like? Why do you like it? Where'd you get it? Give me a reason to get a cool strap.And of course... Show your strap. I mean, while not as big a deal, choosing the right one for you is just like choosing a guitar. Ask yourself what you want from a strap. Is it comfy? Does it stay on your guitar? If it doesn't, can you put straplocks on it? Does it cut into your neck? Do you want it to get traction and kinda grip onto your shirt or do you want it to slide freely? Do you think it looks cool? Does it stay at the length you adjust it to? Does it seem reasonably durable? Is the price fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AaronF Posted December 30, 2012 Members Share Posted December 30, 2012 I used to not care, but after finding a leather strap in a dumpster I realized that straps are an important comfort factor for me. My girlfriend just had a strap made for me for a Christmas gift, I'll upload a picture of it when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ancient Mariner Posted December 30, 2012 Members Share Posted December 30, 2012 I have a Levys strap somewhere, but they're too expensive here & the cheap ones are nasty. There's a brand called Guvnor that seem good - about 2" wide, leather and in various colours and patterns to coordinate with the guitars. A bit of padding makes a 10lb guitar or 12lb bass nicer too.

I used it for awhile, but decided I wanted a slippery one. Here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
