Pin Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 To tell the truth, smudge me lad, you'd be better off posting this sort of request in the Lounge section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James ODonnell Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Under Gibson Gear its being discussed. This is more a question of personal taste, and I don't have pics of mine. That said I have the Gibson Austin on my 335. It has some southern flair, and all sorts of metal and Randy Rhoads comes out of it. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie69 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Needing some inspiration for which kind/colour of strap to buy for my new ES-339 in vintage burst. Let's see what you guys have?? I've always wanted the one seen on a picture of Clarence Gatemouth Brown on the CD "Clarence Gatemouth Brown, the man" a real Southern Stuff with little metal caimans sewn on it. I've never found even an equivalent, if you know where I could find one please tell me The great guy used many Gibsons, do you know if there has been a signature model ? ( firebird?)

sparquelito Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 smudge_lad, Guitar straps are an interesting subject to me. I have observed, over the years, that some players are very particular and fussy about the style, color, and design of their guitar straps, while other players don't really think much about it, and would be just as happy hanging the the guitar from their bodies with a length of twine. I am personally all about: a. comfort first and b. color and design a distant second. Last year I hung a wide, colorful strap on my Martin 12 string that featured images from Van Goch's Starry Night. I loved it, and my wife disliked it for some reason. I ended up giving it to a friend, who now uses it on his P-Bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 In my avatar picture you can see my old blue Ibanez hollow-body. It's blue, and so I chose a comfortable strap with swirling shades of blue and grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 For my Gibson Les Paul Studio Copper-Top, I went with a simple black fabric strap. The copper colored guitar features all-black accouterments, so plain and black just seems to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
