Show Yer Straps
I don't know about other people here, but I like finding straps that match my guitars, and I wanted to see if anyone else had the same affliction. I'm a huge believer in Souldier straps, personally, I've used them for over a decade now and they just work for me. Anyone else have any cool straps that they want to show off?

Re: Show Yer Straps
Oh yes, very much afflicted.... Pretty much every guitar gets a complimentary strap of its own. A few (poor) pictures here...
A couple of Souldiers on my Baja Tele and LPB XII...
As a Sheffield Wednesday fan, I have to have owls!
But my current favourites are Mother Mary straps, especially the tapestry ones - soft, grippy, and pretty.
Vintera Mustang, CV Tele Deluxe (which now has a white pearl guard on there which looks even better with the strap), and desert sand Duo Sonic:

Count me in too
...from another thread...
It's a vintage Bobby Lee that was bought for a different guitar. When I finished my Tele build I realised it was a perfect match.
Chrome buckle like the hardware, yellow & amber matching the neck, switch tip & brass rollers. Black matching the body.

Very much the same ballpark as this...

Re: Show Yer Straps
I'd post pictures but mine are super dull. Apart from an Owl Souldier strap on my acoustic every single other guitar just has a Couch 'None More Black' on it. Sometimes the Mustang has one of those skinny 3/4" leather things on it but most of the time it's naked as a front room/couch guitar.
I've tried getting into fancy or prettier straps but just always prefer them with just a plain black one. Boring but reliable.

Re: Show Yer Straps
I will have a strap in any colour, so long as it’s black. I think I have one grey strap.
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

Re: Show Yer Straps
For the straps they're both Souldier straps, I'm not sure of what the design name is. But the guitars, the Tele is a pine MJT body with an all rosewood WD neck. The LP is a Yamaha Studio Lord SL450S.

Re: Show Yer Straps
I have a Souldier owl strap too and nobody has posted this particular color yet. (I'm assuming we all got this one because Wilco right?)
Anybody have any strap examples for BMM or shell pink guitars?
I'm having trouble picking straps for mine.

Re: Show Yer Straps
Of course. I managed to find mine used on Reverb for $35 shipped, I'd have a lot of trouble dropping $60 on a non-leather strap.
