chase1410 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Ugh I want one of those straps, is it nice and padded? I have a standard Levy's nylon one right now and I find with my explorer after about an hour and a half of slinging the guitar it seems to build a pressure point on my shoulder that causes my left arm to go numb and make me think I am having a heart attack. VERY padded...perfect for my heavy and light guitars alike...Pull the trigger man...You'll love one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilpanda Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I use the straps that come with guitar hero guitars just kidding, I use long & mcquade leather straps. I think theyre made by perri's leather... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Im kind of in the middle I probably have 30-40 straps a little bit of everything from modern levy or planet waves nylon colored straps to custom made one-off leather straps. Almost every guitar gets a thin levy style Nylon strap rolled up in the case and every acoustic guitar get's a custom strap other than that I just pick a strap I feel like off a towel rack in the studio that is covered in straps. Tthe woven leather strap on top of the pile in this picture is by far my favorite, is was made from turn of the century used bridal straps from England and is buttery soft and comfortable. Some guitars just need a matching strap though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clash80 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I have never been able to bring myself to purchase an expensive strap. As a result, all of mine are cheap nylon straps. Yea i'm a cheapo haha, just got the one Nylon strap for my one guitar haha...Its nice and white though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 All my guitars have their own straps so each guitar is always ready for a play.... I usually buy Planet Waves straps with locking ends, comfortable and secure... I have a couple special straps for a couple special guitars...

fray Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Good information, what recommendations are out there for strap locks, Les Pauls and 335s? Thanks, Fred in Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think theyre made by perri's leather... No joke. My friend has 3 PRS Custom Shop jobbies (well whatever they are, but he got em customized with different pickups and aesthetic stuff) and he was using the guitar hero strap that comes on the little POS plastic guitars. I gave him a strap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNylon Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I do well with the wide leather levys strap for the bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I'm kinda like TG, every guitar has it's own strap. Not necessarily color-coded, but pretty much each one chosen for the specific guitar. I have no brand loyalty :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I have a couple of the mono straps they are very comfortable I just like the secure and tighter feeling of a leather strap on a guitar. The wallet is a different story wonder if that is as thin and comfortable as it looks in the above post by chase1410? I can never find a wallet I really like there either too thick or they don't hold enough or something I finally made my own, even put a small zippered pouch to hold a few pick's but it's too big and it's kind of like carrying a hockey puck in your pocket. First time I ever painted leather though it comes out pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Tari Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 All my guiitars have a spcial Levies leather strap. The straps are bought after the guitars. I find all they have at the time and buy the one that I think looks realy good with the new guitar. 7 straps so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 Gibbys & Schecter all have their own semi-matching Planet Waves Planet Lock straps. My Fender American Deluxe HSS has a really cool Dunlap Day of the Dead strap. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Dunlop-Lucky-13-Guitar-Strap-360516-i1172674.gc?CJAID=10449560&CJPID=3214068 All my guitars have Scratch Pad finish protectors on their backsides too to prevent Buckle Rash:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP_Studio_FTW Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I've actually made my own guitar strap out of two leather belts couple of days ago. It's really comfortable and wasn't that expensive either(around $25) http://i56.tinypic.com/2q3cg9h.jpg http://i56.tinypic.com/29ffqlf.jpg http://i55.tinypic.com/2j5nwbk.jpg http://i56.tinypic.com/2gwx1lt.jpg http://i52.tinypic.com/30ifk93.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
