NHTom Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Ok, needed a new strap for my recently acquired LP Special. I'm kind of picky/ocd about my straps. I all ready had two of the Ernie Ball Leather straps and really like them. I'm a big guy, so the fact that they adjust from 43 to 63" is very useful. Good leather. Stitched all the way around plus around the eyelets and adjustment holes. I got another for my Special and one for the Sonex I've got on layaway. Just thought I'd throw it out there as a good product/experience. NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they are made of nylon. They work, just dont look as cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser Bill Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Nice looking straps. The last couple I bought were close to $60 each. Not used to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darling67 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Nice straps. I've never really paid too much attention my guitar straps as fa as quality and other features. I've just gotten straps that I felt would look good with the guitar they'd be used with. Generally, I'll get cloth straps of some sort—either a solid color or a design if it appeals to me and will look good with said guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69tele Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Nice straps must check those out, I usually get he levys 2.5" wide or the fender deluxe ones.... prefer the wider leather straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Mac Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Nice straps must check those out, I usually get he levys 2.5" wide or the fender deluxe ones.... prefer the wider leather straps. I think that's my favorite; I think the suede leather one I found to be the most comfortable is a Levy's 2.5" - it's soft and supple and just plumb comfortable. But I require a minimum strap length of 55-60 inches. I guess I sling a little low and it is getting harder and harder to find straps hanging in any of the guitar shops that go that long... I like my string height to be about midway between my belly-button and my short-hairs... If I sling any higher I find I bunch my shoulders to adjust to the height and it fatigues me/my arms... That's my comfort level where I can play for hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTom Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 The ones I pictured above cost anywhere from $29 to $49 new. I've found a couple deals, etc to help with the pricing. NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krock Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I have one ernie ball nylon strap but I have three levy straps which as they're padded take the weight much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Fine and comfortable quality straps are a vital part of playability I believe. Nice you found some and got a good deal, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
