Strap choice

[alantig]

Nope, you’re not getting me to say Big Softee strap on this week!

Better to be hit w/that than the Dethdonger 2000 version.






Or so I'd imagine.

Give it a pair of boots and I need a new keyboard.

I must have inadvertently entered the Adult Guitar forum. They should have a warning somewhere.

I wish these guys used stitches not rivets, but I have a couple with the hemp backing and they are nice.

Brookwood Leather. Quality stuff.

That's a beautiful strap, it screams 'quality'.

I love the look of a strap with a metal buckle. Unfortunately, I'm too much of a klutz to get another one, I tend to ding the guitars with the buckles.

If you're in the UK (noticed the peach watermark) then you could do a lot worse than heistercamp made in okehampton.

Heistercamp is my preferred brand, too, and I'm in the US. They do gorgeous work.

I've been using Franklin Straps for many years. First leather, then I went to 3" cotton cinch. Unfortunately, they don't make them anymore. Anywhoo, black straps go with everything.

Lock-it has a couple of leather straps which are nice (and their locking system is great in my opinion).
Another option is Richter straps, great leather, fair prices.

I’ve used these for years. https://www.levysleathers.com/product/guitar-strap-m7gg3-blk/
I currently have 3: one for Singlecuts, one for double cuts, and one for my ESP Hanneman. Wide, long, super sexy. TWSS.

I have to agree. I was getting mine from a shop in Oklahoma, but their CS kind of fell off. Poor communication, and long delays. The last 3 I've ordered have been from Heistercamp. Love everything about their straps, and how they do business.

With my lower bubble, there's no way a guitar can hit a belt buckle.... ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

Personally I would choose a brown leather strap for this guitar and although after 42 years of guitar playing and never had a strap moment fail without ever using a strap lock in my life I would probably get strap locks if I was buying new. The one I use was sent to me in the post in about 1993 after buying a Patrick eggle Los Angeles plus from a shop in the north of England and presumably I had given them my address because two weeks after the purchase I received the strap and still use it today. Yes it’s brown but only leather on the ends (about 8”) and the rest is like a heavy duty mesh and the brown really gels with yellow in particular. Regards SD

Double-whammy! Goes with the guitar AND the rug!

Might I suggest Right On Mojo straps. They are vegan and made in Spain! For locks, I use Schaller locks. Best ones I've ever used, so modifications needed either.

Richter makes some high quality straps to consider another option.

Okay... so my PRS DGT SE Goldtop will arrive soon. Feel like it needs a dedicated strap. What should I go for?

Hey, nice one. When I got this green McCarty I felt it needed a fancy strap. So, I bought a really cool green one, but I prefer the basic brown one. So does the guitar. I am hoping to use the green one on my J-15 waiting for me in Colorado.

Wow ! Outstanding guitar. Congrats.
When my green smoke burst McCarty arrived, it certainly warranted a new strap. So, I bought a fancy green one thinking it would be a good compliment. Neither myself nor the guitar agreed. Picked up a cool, somewhat basic natural tan leather one at a local shop here in Grants Pass. (Fire River Music). And to coin a phrase somewhat overused in this day and age, Perfect.
I took a nice pic with the axe and straps to share, but cant figure out how to post a pic.
I guess my point is that for me, the guitar is the show. Though I do agree that an ornate strap can accentuate a guitar, an attractive understated strap may allow the guitar to do the talking.
Happy Strumming !
