    Got straps?

    Here are mine.




    From left to right: Fender Custom Road Worn leather, Fender Vintage Tweed, Fender embroided logo yellow (came with the Strat win the case candy), Planet Waves Monterey.

    I need some rattlesnake leather.

    I've got others but these are my favorites... Souldier, Reunion Blues, a few Levy's, and a couple Fender's. Lousy pictures but...

    Thanks, Sergio. That last one is a Mono strap btw... forgot to mention that. That's the 2017 SG HP that I modified... thread is somewhere on TFF I think. Replaced the OEM creme-colored pup-rings with black, creme-colored scratch-plate with black custom-made bat-wing ( 3 ply blk/wht/blk), black screws in place of chrome, vintage knobs and truss-rod cover, Gotoh locking tuners ( to replace G-Force), silicone tubing ( to replace pickup springs), and completely refinished the fret-board as it was in dire need ( fret-polish too). Also added a black poker-chip. One of my favorite guitars!

    Just fwiw... I see, OP has same taste in width. I can't do over 2" wide on any of my electrics. I like the feel and character of different/ multiple straps because for me it sort of helps to further personalize each guitar... adding more individuality I guess. Levy's are by far my favorite for the money.

    The one I actually use the most is a 2" wide Collings plain strap. Old fashioned and comfy.

    I've got the same roadworn strap but the damned thing is too short for me.

    I predominantly use Levy's nylon webbing straps (the soft cottony variety, not the seatbelt material). I use Dunlop straploks on all my guitars and basses.

    Re: Got straps?

    That's probably the only advantage of being short. Any strap will do.

    lol! Yep... I'm somewhat vertically challenged as well. My road-worn 2" Fender strap doesn't work for me on any other guitar but it feels perfect with the SG.

    There's no problem at all in not being able to really enjoy the Fender Road Worn straps... They're no good.

    The best solution is to send them all to Brazil. I can happily provide a proper address via PM.

    Re: Got straps?

    wait, send you road worn straps or road worn strats? One costs quite a bit more to ship than the other

    I meant the straps, but I wouldn't mind strats instead

    Re: Got straps?

    My collection of straps for the various basses are nearly all 3” wide Levy’s garment leather straps, but I do have one I had made of laced harness leather lined with deerskin and a chromed buckle I made of polished 1/4 X 1” flat bar (heavy as hell but a great weapon in a bar fight).

    I purchased one from Brookwood Leather as a Christmas gift for my son that I designed and had made that I think is pretty nice that features hand tooling and Texas lone star conchos.

    Re: Got straps?

    I am super boring with straps - black nylon webbing setup with strap locks. I like how they get soft and fuzzy the longer you use them.

    I have a Fender Road Worn strap but it's way too short for me to use.
