    Strap color suggestions

    Silly quick question, what guitar strap color would you suggest for a Shoreline Gold + Maple scale Strat?
    Thanks!

    Silly answer: go with the red one.

    Black or brown leather are always safe bets, and age nicely.

    Looks like one of Ritchie Cunningham's argyle socks!

    Personally, I'd go with "earth tones". Brown suede leather would look awesome with Shoreline Gold.

    Dang! I didn't know Levy's was capable of making a fugly guitar strap, but there you go.

    I agree with the earthtones. Something subdued that doesn't distract from the unique byooty of a Shoreline Gold Strat. Can't go wrong with a nice brown leather.

    Good Lord, that's my clan's tartan! Or pretty close anyway.

    I agree though, it doesn't make a very good-looking guitar strap. I'd go with white or earthtones.
