Fern Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Wondering if anyone could recommend me a good leather strap for the epiphone ej200sce. Will I have to get those Schaller strap locks used on electrics as well? I noticed one of my favourite epi ej200 wears his guitar low and guitar body mostly to his side. Might be a comfortable place for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromnabulax Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hey Fern, A strap, its look and fit are all highly personal choices. I have several of these here: They're made by Planet Waves and can usually be found for between $20.00 and $25.00 and are available in black or brown. I find that they're wide enough so that they are comfortable and since they're leather the guitar tends to stay put in my shoulder, unlike nylon which can slide around. I don't know about this guitar hero of yours, but I tend to wear mine kind of high compared to some. My rule if thumb is to set the strap at while I am seated in my favorite playing chair so that where it rides when I stand is roughly where it rides when I am seated. I don't use strap locks, but then I don't move around like I did when I was a pup. Enjoy your guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aster1 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Really Nice looking strap!! I wear my guitar higher up too. Just like my pants waist, I don't like the crotch hanging to my knees!! Aster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhanners623 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 That strap looks nice. All hose metal bits would give me pause, though, since I usually store the strap in the case. And strap locks on an acoustic guitar is just overkill. They are mainly meant for heavy instruments (i.e, a Les Paul or a Tele) and unless you're dancing around on stage, a strap lock is just going to be one more piece of metal that wants to ding your guitar's finish when the strap is in the case.

fromnabulax Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 That strap looks nice. All hose metal bits would give me pause, though, since I usually store the strap in the It's a very soft suede, so I simply roll it up with metal conchos to the inside of the strap leaving only the soft suede leather facing the outside.
