Show us your fancy guitar straps

not_the_dj

I think this will be the year I get a fancy leather guitar strap for my Les Paul (and hopefully the ES Les Paul when they finally make it over here). 

 I'll be paying the Heistercamp stand a visit at the guitar show in a few weeks as there's look great...but in the meantime.... 

 So show us your fancy straps!

My kind of thread I love classy guitars but Uber cheesy straps!

You should check out Copperpeace straps. Dem over at guitarbox now stocks them. They've really well made and hard wearing. You can even get one with a little pick holder pouch.

Never feel comfortable when straps have got metal buckles or studs unless you like reliced guitars.

Rebirth of the classic Les Paul guitar strap.  Made by the son of Les Paul's original guitar strap maker.
:-O

I like this. Assuming that brown is available.

The leather is Leathergraft. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v375/Niallmo/Mobile Uploads/2015-02/B99CC1C1-C536-4D7C-8079-45B060BA8221_zpsozlvhv4b.jpg This is very funky, bought it off eBay for ten quid, it's an $80 Get 'n Get.

Mines pretty tame by comparison... The red does clash nicely with my yellow guitar.

These are awesome.

This is the sort of thing I'm looking at from Heistercamp....full on "giddy up ye har" styling... http://www.heistercamp.co.uk/files/guitar_copy.jpg

Them heistercamp straps look really nice but also check out Bear Straps, they do a western style one similar to that. I got myself a slimline classic (I think!). It's really nice and I got a longer one at no extra cost.

Can't view their website from my phone :-(

I thought I was done with straps, you guys are going to cost me more money! I want that copperpeace one, perhaps in white.

Each of my guitars has got it's own allotted strap apart from my acoustics. I don't like taking them on and off because it makes the strap ends all soft and the holes get bigger.

That must play havoc with your sex life, if you apply the same logic   :-O

I much prefer plain looking straps, so as not to take away from the guitar they compliment.

The best one I have, my pride and joy strap if you like, is courtesy of Mark on this very forum, thanks.

Custom order #015 from Chantel Cordey.  Beautifully made.

From Chantel Cordey's website:

"From 1984 I have primarily earned a living making Costumes and Props in film and television .I am better known in the industry for my broad range of leatherworking skills and my versatility.  My work features in many movies most notably " Mad Max Beyond Thunder Dome", "Crocodile Dundee “, "Babe Pig In The City"," The Matrix ", “Peter Pan “and myriads of others."

Cool associations there

Nothing that fancy here but the two on the left are custom made by Barefoot Leather, nothing but thick solid plain leather, and they are my current favourites.
