The Best Guitar Straps

[deeaa*]

I always just use the regular black cheapo straps. All my guitars are very or at least quite light - no more Les Paul logs for me, so I need no padding etc. But all of them also have Schaller strap locks. They are handy but in ~16 years I've used 'em I've had to replace two sets of guitar side parts...they simply wore thru until they held the lock no more.

When I had the LP, I used real wide leather straps...just don't see any reason for a heavy guitar no more. Has nothing to do with how they sound, just uncomfortable.

I've got two, a Planet Waves Darkside strap for my LP copy (it's got a set of Dunlop Straploks):


And a Levy's woven strap for the other electrics:


Personally I find the Planet Waves ones more comfortable, even with the extra weight of the LP. It digs in less.
