Members SharkMinusBear Posted March 24, 2008 Members Share Posted March 24, 2008 My fav strap is this Planet Waves Retro I use on my acoustic:Planet Waves makes some solid straps and they have some good designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members drasp Posted March 24, 2008 Members Share Posted March 24, 2008 The Fender AVRI straps can be ordered easily & they're a nice strap. Materials could probably be better, but the Levy version I have feels a little TOO fancy/padded. I've moved to using all Couch straps as I love the way they hold on to the stock strap buttons w/ no locking hardware, etc. Perfect strap for my guitars/shoulder.

Members Coma Larkin Posted March 24, 2008 Members Share Posted March 24, 2008 look for ace straps on ebay Man, I feel like an idiot now, but I have an old Ace strap that I've been looking to replace for FOREVER. Just the way it sits on my shoulder is perfect--now I know what to look for. Thanks much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members drasp Posted March 24, 2008 Members Share Posted March 24, 2008 I already mentioned Couch, but the OP is looking for something more like the 60s Ace straps. I almost won an auction for a few original NOS ace straps still in their original packaging, only one person was bidding against me, but they were SERIOUS and I was only looking to spend a 'reasonable' amount for something I could actually use. . . As above, Couch straps are fan-freaking-tastic. I own a very nice Levy and never use it, sits in my 'spares' box. I have a Couch on each of my electric guitars.

Members Servant Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 I've got a black Ernie Ball nylon w/leather ends that I've had for - mmm 20 years or so, a Planet Waves w/Lizards (which I hate. Twas a gift.), a huge padded leather one that makes my LP comfy, and a couple of old tweed looking things with no name that fit better than any new one I've tried. I will say I like the Kepur straps as of late and may move towards those as replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeamoDave Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 If you have a neck heavy guitar, it makes a difference. Nylon slides on my shoulder too much. Leather tends to stay put unless you jump around too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 89strat Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 If you have a neck heavy guitar, it makes a difference. Nylon slides on my shoulder too much. Leather tends to stay put unless you jump around too much. Actually, that's why I use Nylon. I don't like the strap staying put. I'm fidgity, and I'm constantly moving around when I play. So I use the Ernie Ball nylon straps and like them best. I find that they're not very comfortable, especially with my les paul, but I like that they move around a bit and freely no matter what I'm wearing. However, when I played an Epiphone Dot that I had, it was neck heavy and became annoying because the guitar wouldn't stay still. But for my Les Paul, strat, and acoustic, they work just fine, are very strong and reliable, and cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members petejt Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 My guitar trap is TRUE sixties-style! I made my strap out of an old pair of red bell-bottom flares jeans that I ripped on spiky spinifex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
