Which strap will trigger women to throw panties and bras at you? Asking for a friend
Do they have parachute chord guitar straps? Just incase.
you are calling genuine leather high quality, when that is the lowest quality you can get.
Legend has a cutout from a russian carpet as a guitar strap
Pro tip:
Wider straps not only feel more comfortable, but look cooler than 2" straps.
Thank you for the Info! It was very useful! And completely unrelated to straps (sorry about that): Holy cow, are you cute!! 😃
The beginning made me think I was in a bondage video…lol

What is the leather strap do you use for your acoustic guitar?
You’re playing bass or You’re playing an actual guitar😂
Some nice straps to me around 3 inch straps are comfortable for most guitars most time make my own being I make horse saddles for a living hide but or suede is good material even some webbing lined some guitar strap makers ask alot for leather straps look OK but 99 percent of the time is only cheap leather scars can be covered with Ingrave patterns on them thanks 👍
Is there a certain length I’m supposed to be looking for? I have a guitar strap that just way to long also I’m 5’9” so bit very tall. I have an 8 banger coming in and looking for a strap to go with it but want to get the right length.
No no to that bandana
What do you think about vinyl straps? Are they comfortable? Durable? I´m about to get one from Levy´s for a bass. Thanks!
Why is this dude dressed like a labrador who just got a haircut at Petco?
When playing my guitar, my strap has a buckle and the buckle is the most uncomfortable part, would you say the other loosening mechanism is better or is it just me?
I have an Ibanez Artcore AS73G (Semi hollow) not too heavy but not light either. Like the 335 it has the strap pin where the neck is bolted into the body as opposed to a strat where it’s on the horn. Would u recommend something like a wide leather strap or can I get away with something else preferably lock-it straps because I don’t want to drill holes into the body for strap locks.
When I watch the blues Freddy king and The other king or Albert Collins they just put the starp over shoulder not around the neck why I don’t know..but awsem vedio now I have to use a strap going into the gigging thing been playing long time but hobby still hobby but for people now I don’t care if I get paid or not I just time to let the music in me out..first I have to meet the Deval down in Gorgia and show how it’s done may get a guitar made of gold out of the deal. .Gutiar is a crazy journey imo..
quite enjoyed this but unfortunately didn’t find the answer I was hoping to find. Thing is I recently purchased a 335 and it’s the first guitar I’ve owned where left hand strap button is on the heel of the neck rather than on the top horn. All the straps I have are the buckle-type ones (same width all the way from one end to the other) and I can’t quite put my finger on what’s bothering me about them on the 335 – they’re absolutely fine on Strats and Teles etc. but on the 335, they just seem to be getting in my way a little. Would a two-piece strap with one thinner section be better for this kind of strap button arrangement? Thanks.
Which one would you recommend for a Les Paul type guitar? I’ve had a vinyl one for years but never found it really comfortable 😰
I wish I had watched this before putting a seatbelt-type nylon strap in my 8 pound strat haha
Van Houten : heyyyy everybodyyy
If you are a guitar player? Just get a Bass 3" inches wide strap and burn all other guitar straps. Thank me later.
My guitar slides while I’m playing standing up.. I want my guitar to stay at a same classical position throughout the session.. |
which strap would you recommend?
Nice info.😊
I’m quite boring, so it’s all black baseball leather of Perry’s lol. I don’t even have to think about which one to grab, they’re like superhero uniforms, all the same.
No cloth/nylon(is it called that?) anything that slides. Leathers grips whatever I’m wearing so that’s good.
In addition to ergonomic concerns, choosing the right guitar strap is like choosing the right tie or belt 🙂
I’m looking for a strap to match my Sienna Sunset Strat and my Dark Night Tele.
I dont know witch strap slash has cause his guitar is pretty low
Fashion is fine. Its the connection to the strap pin thats always the problem. Cheap thin material, even thick can tear and maybe a catastrophe. Im going to a shoe maker/repairer to see if he can make from heavy stiff leather or some kind of rubber soul material.
Yes your straps are pretty. 😉
I like your epiphone bass. My first bass (I still have) I purchased in 1982 , it’s a Japanese knock off "Vantage" and it’s a flying V . It’s easy to play as the frets are short and the action is set low , but it’s a beast weighing in at 13 lbs. lol
Dude! nice video! What guitar strap do you recommend for my strat and jaguar respectively? I hope you answer me! Keep it up the good work man.
what would happen if i made a strap made out of chains, for my 5 string bass?
Consider complementary colors. Make a Windows Paint preview.
As much as I like all those cool trippy looking retro weave patterns, those kinds of straps almost always have metal rivets and buckles on them. That’s a no no for me around my expensive acoustic guitars. Solid bodied electrics I don’t worry about so much.
Cool video! Thanks, man! 👍🏻
