vestiges Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I have used a Couch strap with my ST-2FPA for a while now, and the sharp Synapse strap arm keeps digging into it. I actually had to send it to Couch to get a new reinforced end, and even this one has worn down. Are there any better options for straps with reinforced holes that won't get torn by the Synapse strap arms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarGeko Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I have been using a Minotaur leather strap with reinforced ends for roughly a year now. http://www.thomann.de/gb/minotaur_fs851s_guitarstrappickholder.htm (IMO, the pickholder is sh**.) The strap arm digged into it until a certain point. Doesn't look pretty, but works really well. I'll make a picture of it if you wish so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vestiges Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thanks for the input. However, I should add that I am located in the USA, so certain options like this one would be quite costly to ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarGeko Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Well, if your Couch strap is not made of leather and you don't mind buying or waring a leather strap, I would recommend you to search for a leather strap with a reinforced end. My strap's price was ~40$ (1 € ~ 1,30 US$ ?) when I bought it, so you know you don't have to pay a fortune for a good strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vestiges Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Couch straps are indeed made of leather, and I even had the end of mine custom-done to reinforce it more. I still find the wing cutting through the strap. The new reinforced strap has held up for about a year, but will undoubtedly snap soon. I'm looking for something that will last longer.

vestiges Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Actually, I looked into it and Couch does not use leather. I wonder how a real leather strap would compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
