Wide Rides Straps

[CoreyT]

Was Googling straps and ran across this outfit.
http://www.widerides.com/
Anyone hear of them before or have one?

Not very expensive, and the shoulder has a wider part for it available in slippery or sticky.
I went for the latter, and got the lizards design.
If I like it, I will get a second one in skulls.

Hope to have it by the end of the week, and I will provide feedback on it.

Interesting, thanks for the link! I might check out one of the more plain designs. Cool they have the option of sticky or smooth - that tends to be a sticking point for many people, one way or the other. :biggrin:

I have one in all black. Best $40 I ever spent. Originally got it for my Les Paul but since thats gone, my Stripped 58 and 408 MT utilize it now. I use strap locks on my PRS's so I can use one strap for both.

You are welcome Vc.
Mark, looking forward to this.
I run Schallers on all of my straps too.
I went for the medium size, hopefully that will work for me.
Was going by those short vids they had there on sizes.

I got the medium also. I'm 5'10" if that helps. Plenty of room for adjustments with the Velcro. I ride mine about waist high not into that below the crotch look. Lol. I think they are pretty good with returns if medium doesn't work for you. They are also a must for you bass players. My bass playing friends are all converts now.

Thanks Mark.
I am around 5'8", so the medium should be good.
I wish I could wear my guitar low like Page or Slash, but it is too hard for me to reach the bottom frets and it cramps my hand.

Timing is everything. I stumbled upon this site yesterday looking for a "sticky" strap for the new SG. Today 2 new straps arrived. I guess one more couldn't hurt. Thanks for sharing and the feedback.

Ordered one this morning: basic black with a sticky back.
