I have two of these. One black and one brown. They are my favorite.

I keep a strap on every electric I own (along with the same strap locks so I could change them if I had to), but I prefer Slick straps from guitarfetish (plain leather).

Right now they're $24.95 which is a pretty decent price for the quality.

I bought this year ago and use it with my Martin (using with a D'Alldarrio quick release headstock string) and it works well with the new bass guitar too.

To be honest, the one that got the most use when i gigged was the ubiquitous Fender logo strap that came with my Strat.

Called the Fillmore. It's $99 but first time buyers get a 15% discount.

I have two of these (cognac and black), and they are very well made and soft. I think I paid around $65 fr them (2 years ago). I called when I ordered the second one, and they gave me a better price over the phone than through the we site (but that may be due to my abundant charm ).

I have a few really nice straps. I think my best strap is a padded one from Franklin. https://www.amazon.com/Franklin-Stra...r%2Bstrap&th=1

I also have the non padded version, similar to the one Ed-in-Ohio posted. I think the one Ed likes is a better value. $35-10% for AGF members.

I also like Walker and Williams straps. If you aren't really fussy about top-of-the-line leather quality on the outside they have incredible bargains at $29. The padding is as nice as some straps costing much more. I got this one and I like it a lot. It took awhile to break in, but for the money it's really nice.

Another vote here for Sully's Straps!

https://sullysstraps.com/vintage-str...-banjo-straps/

I have two of his vintage straps. Both are getting old but nowhere near close to wearing out.



Both of mine are similar to this one.

I learn so much from this forum. I purchased a W&W F-06. Very nice strap. Thanks for starting this thread OP!

My bride gave me this W&W one of a kind for my birthday this week. Disclaimer: I picked it out and ordered it. She gave me the $$. It is a really well made, nice match for my Godin LGXT.

This is what I use when playing bass or a heavy electric like my Les Pauls. Can't be beat for long playing times/gigs and it feels great. I've had it for several years and it still looks and feels great.

I've got Fender straps on my Telecaster and Stratocaster. (Store them in their cases with their straps on).

I'm not too fussed when it comes to straps.
