Thick leather, nicely padded. Don't even need straplocks because the strap fits on the guitar so tight. I don't have a photo because my guitar isn't here right now, but this is from their website: nice. i should get one for my tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I've got a couple of Souldier straps that are similar to the old Ace straps, but with much better assembly quality and except for the original old-stock jacquard weave fabric, better materials quality too. The one on the right is a vintage Ace, the one on the left is a Souldier. Both are exactly 2" wide - the apparent size difference is an illusion. This is my other Souldier: For ages, I've mainly used 2" nylon straps, Fender straps that came with various Fender guitars, old Ace straps, and now Souldiers. I've got a few other straps here and there, but those are my mainstays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zozobra Posted December 31, 2012 Members Share Posted December 31, 2012 I use a 3" wide Levys webbing strap because my Destroyer weighs a {censored}ing ton.Its black and I can slip the guitar about my shoulder as needed. I don't like grippy straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BrammyH Posted December 31, 2012 Members Share Posted December 31, 2012 For the most part, I use Franklin Leather straps, with some of the Planet Waves Lock Straps thrown in.I really want an El Dorado strap, but those things cost real money.
