Best strap I've bought.

Rather than use straploks or any of that gayness I use some bootlaces tied throught he actual strap, instead of the fake leather rubbish they put on them I cut that fake leather rubbish off.

I use those little Dunlop plastic strap lock things. They work great and are like $0.73.

Hardware store rubber grommets!
Fuck 50 dollars for big clunky shit on my guitar when i could buy a box of those for what 2 dollars, may be even less?
Carry On.

Unless you paid less than 100 bucks for your guitar, $14 and some change is not a bad price to pay for the assurance that It will stay the fuck away from the floor. For multiple guitar situations, it comes to about the same as buying straps for all of them.

I have a suede strap for my SG [and recommend one to anybody else with an SG] so the headstock doesn't go for the floor when I let go, that's the only thing worth mentioning about any of them. The vintage style AV straps are cool, I have mine on my AV strat and want more.

I used to use Schaller straplocks on every guitar but stopped bothering. Only my Jag and AV Strat have them now, grolsch washers on the LP because it breaks the plastic straplocks, and I have ONE plastic straplock left which I've been using on the neck-end strap button of my new parts strat, which I lug around everywhere I go without a case (so a single straplock isn't that cheeky).

I noticed that, I always wear mine up nice and high and thankfully the Ernie Ball strap on its shortest setting is exactly the right length.

I've got a nice Levy's strap that I only bought because it's the cheapest I could get on eBay (about Â£4 + pnp or something) and it's pretty good because the holes on the end are very tight, so it doesn't need a strap lock or anything. Not that I'd ever use one, if my guitar falls, I'm not doing my job properly.

No. 1 Stretch Strap - cost me about Â£8 and is without exception the most comfortable thing I've ever thrown over one shoulder.

Also: FUCK SCHALLER STRAP LOCKS. Bought 'em, hate the look, hate the way they stick out like an inch from the guitar...feared for the wood around that screw and I'm sure the power of maths tells me it's a bad idea...fulcrums and physics and that.... FUCK THEM.

i tend to use those cheap dunlop plastic things now though, i don't really wanna be screwing shit into my mustang and i've just been lazy with the jaguar.
