Ronnie Barnes Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I can't seem to find what kind of guitar strap was used back in the '50's on Les Pauls or that matter, any Gibson guitars. Did they look like Fender straps - thin with a shoulder pad or something else? Any links to sites with info? All they seem to have at Guitar Center and other stores are big wide 60's hippie-style straps. Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam in alberta Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 The one on the left is an original strap from a 58 special. The one on the right is a cheap junky copy of a 58 - 60 Burst strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
