Every guitar and the mandolin each have their own strap. The more expensive guitars have leather and the rest have cloth.
At jams I use the strap if sitting or standing.

Not while seated. (I do with my electrics though but that's only because the strap is always attached to these guitars).

This. I rarely play seated, but when I do I'd like it to feel the same.

Yep, me too - always. I like the neck at about 45 degrees and the same position when standing. I'll add that I only use suede straps that don't slide down off my shoulder.

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't use a strap while seated. Depends on the guitar and the chair. The strap is a great option though and works better for me than the Neck Up - at least for now.

Strap always whether guitar or mandolin. I am a hobby player and have massive sleep apnea. It is not at all unusual for me to fall asleep between the chorus and bridge, only to pick up again when I wake up 15 minutes later. Saves a lot of money or repair bills for dropped insturments. Needless to say I also never drive a car any more. sigh.
Fare well, db |

I have more belly than lap so I always use a strap. Also my most comfortable playing position is kinda half sitting on a barstool so that makes the strap necessary. All of my guitars have a designated strap that stays on the guitar all the time.

Never when I'm seated.
