Levy's M7G's, how do I know the model number, you may ask? Because my wonderful wife is getting me enough to go with all my guitars this Christmas! Something I've been trying to do since I started playing! Never seem to find these in any stores anymore, so she finally ordered them for me.

Maton leather guitar straps. Just like hammersig, I've got one for each of my guitars.

I had this strap made to "resemble" the Peter Green Fleetwood Mac strap.




I need to get a picture of my "heavy guitar/long set" strap. That one is just a *really* supple 3" strap that seems to alleviate shoulder strain. The leather is so incredibly supple, and the strap is wide- it used to fold over on itself. A long time ago, I took a piece of leather and sewed it above the strap button to act as a stiffener so it didn't fold over on itself....

Love this one. It's thin, unlike most leather straps.



These ones are also pretty cool. Stylish, but don't have leopard print or a dragon shooting flames out of it's mouth while a sorcerer is sacrificing a couple of virgins. Not as boring as plain black either.

Yes. I have the same strap as your in the blowup photo. It came with my EJ signature. I bought another for my Rocketfire SRV. Simple and comfortable and does not detract from the appearance of the guitar.

I have 3 of these due to an ordering mistake, loved them since I saw Pagey sling his LP from one in TSRTS.

I don't have a REAL favorite, yet, but these are the ones that I have dug on since getting:

Levy's Leather strap: my first strap ever. It's a little short, but comfy!

I forget the brand, but I went through a HUGE Weezer phase, and ended up with a Leather Lightning bolt strap, it was heavily padded, but I removed the padding part over the years.

Levy's vintage pattern (Like the Hippie Straps patter on the Ric 660 in a few posts above) nylon web backed strap. This was my goto for years, the wear shows it!

Souldier Straps Stained glass pattern in red. one of the most comfy straps ever. I'm currently using on my Historic 59 335

Couch Straps black Cadillac top vinyl Racer X. Got this on my Gretsch Spectra Sonic!

Couch Bronze Deadstock Flowers v.4. I have this on my tele and I have the matching wallet!

I have a Bear Straps Slim Classic on the way that I am way stoked on. This will be the strap for my Historic 335

I also have a couple Ernie Ball nylon web straps. kind of the standard fare when I was playing pop punk music back in the day!

Moody straps are my favorites. Not only are they gorgeous and comfortable leather straps, Allison's attention to customer service is superior.

I have about 4 moody's. They ARE very nice.

I think my favorite though is a 3 inch wide nylon I just got a couple months back!

Moody. Comfortable, and looks nice. I want to try the 4" one some time soon.

See this plain, worn Earth III leather strap?




Considering it's the same one I used on stage all the time in the 80's... and I'm still using it, it must be my favorite.



I've got a Snakeskin one that I've had just as long, but it's usually with a Superstrat.

I have a padded Levi's strap that I like, but it's kinda stiff.... needs 24 years of use before it will be nice a supple like the ones above.
