Get your straps out

[Wakester]

Here's an original Vox Python strap I purchased at Rudy's in NYC circa 1966 or so. Never worn, still in the original case which has seen better days as it has been dragged from Brooklyn to Linden NJ to Madison WI to El Paso to Pittsburgh and then to Maryland, not 35 miles from the PRS factory.

That is Very Cool!

I so wanted him to be balancing on a guitar strap as the camera panned out!

Just thought I'd resurrect this old thread to show off a new Strap I got for the 245. Looks like the one I have for the CU24, except black. This is also an open invitation to the newer members, who haven't seen this thread, to show us your straps.

I'm boring: plain old leather Levy's straps on these 2.

So instead of creating a new thread, I'll just resurrect this one again.

New Strap Day!

Got a Blue Strap to go with the Blue Santana today from Santana Claus.

Did he say “Strap out” or “Strap on”?

I use the very same ones. Well not the actual ones in the picture, but you know what I mean.

No, I learned my lesson.

I'm now up to 3! I like Les' pattern strap a lot, but these wide and thick leather straps are really comfortable once they get some wear on them.

I dont play much standing up anymore so my collection has diminished siginifcantly.

I did keep this one as it's special to me. This one was a made by my wife years ago for our wedding anniversary. She spent a couple months beading it together on a loom. Then she stitched it by hand to one of my leather straps. It does have some heft to it but I had it on my acoustic so it only saw a couple songs each night.

Its seen its fair share of action when I did play live so its a bit beaten up.

Someone else posted their Heistercamp straps earlier in the thread. I’ve had them make several for me, too, and like them so much I’ve bought a few as gifts for my son.

Lately, I’ve picked their softer leather straps without metal parts (to avoid dings), and with nice, firm padding and cable loops. The quality of the leathers and workmanship is in the tradition of the best English leatherwork - none finer - and you can choose everything from the length of the strap to the linings, to you-name-it. I like adjustable straps because I change the lengths from time to time, but there are other options.

Here’s one from earlier this year in their black ‘super soft’ leather with tan leather lining, padding and cable holder. I’ve also got their heavier leather models. You can pick whatever color combinations you like. I have mine made with a slightly longer buttonhole to fit the PRS strap button. Their thicker pull up leathers are too thick to fit under the stock buttons. Their super soft fits fine.

As with any leather goods, check out the straight stitching and the way the edges are finished.
