LWAG Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) Which guitar straps do you use? Are there any that you absolutely love? I have a bunch of guitar straps on different guitars; however, on my Gibsons (Les Pauls) I like/love a strap called BearStrap. https://www.bearstraps.com/ They're handmade and they're leather and they're long, strong and thin. I like my guitar straps long, so I have some of the longest ones made (62 Inches) but they come in shorter sizes too. Me and a BearStrap strap if you're on Instagram: Me and a BearStrap strap if you cannot see/aren't allowed to view Instagram without signing up/on YouTube (something maybe more universal). I use Bearstraps, who sell out of places I know up and down Denmark Street, and the gentleman who makes these straps, Rupert, makes very cool guitar straps by hand, makes his rounds up and down Denmark Street, I am so blessed with London's guitar culture (can find a lot of nice American guitars in London) and the straps I love, I thought were from California (because of its name)... Turns out it's British and the guy hand makes distributes these long thin leather guitar straps I love. What straps are your favourite (so far)?

Karloff Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I love nice straps too. I probably put way too much thought into my straps. I lean towards having a particular strap for each guitar but that does seem to rotate depending on how I feel at that moment. I have a nice snakeskin strap from AF Designs, some assorted leather straps- LM & Franklin. I'll post a few pics later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I have a strap for each guitar. Some straps are not removable, so they go in 3rd party cases (they have more room). A bespoke case means I have to be able to remove the strap. Planet Waves Locking straps mainly go in there. My oldest strap is a Levys one. I dont have any super expensive ones, but was tempted by the Gibson Switchblade, but the forward section is too long. I dont love any of them.

2l84rogaine Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I don’t fall in love with accessories. I did, however, make it my mission to hunt down and buy one each (in mint condition, of course) of the six straps designed by Jerry Garcia. Each one is beautifully designed, and I DO use all of them.

samueljazz Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 My favourite straps is made of leather and over it some hand painted mandalas are there. Overall it looks great. Though I am a paper writer ( helps in writing papers for other) but I also play guitar. And we have a band of 5 members.🤩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherry23 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I’ve tried quite a few guitar straps, but my absolute favorite is the Levy’s MSS2. It’s super comfortable and provides great support during long practice sessions. I also love that it has a stylish design! For my recent assignment, I had to write about gear essentials for guitarists, and this strap definitely made the list. What about you? Any specific straps you can't live without?
