I found this Jerry Garcia strap in one of my cupboards, my dad bought it when we were in France years ago. It's quite cool, and fairly comfy.

I used my '73 Fender strap last night, like this

(along with the '73 Strat).
I normally use a Levy's polyester MPJH2-005 (a Christmas present) with the '08 Strat
Image
Also use black and olive Levy's cotton on the Burns Double Six and the Hondo II LP

I have a £1 navy polyester strap to use with the acoustic

With the Flying V I use a hand-made, wide leather strap that was a present from my wife when we were just out of Uni.

Planet Waves with the built in locking ends are great, but only fit the Fender sized strap buttons. They are 2" wide, but I wish they were offered 1/2" wider.

I too use the planet waves planet lock. The plain colours are ok, and obviously the locking system is the same and great. There are a few that are a bit more expensive, and much more comfortable. Worth the extra kwan.

Are you referring to Planet waves straps?

The guy I just bought my new guitar from through one of these in, quite a nice strap actually, it's very comfortable for a thin strap.

I have a variety of straps, and I keep one on each guitar (with a Grolsch) at all times. Usually an Ernie Ball 2" poly strap, a couple of Fender Sanrio straps, and a couple from some ebay brand I forget.
