Looking to get a wide leather guitar strap and want reliable mounting studs/screws/locking pins???
I current have a DiMarzio Locking Clip strap and like it, but want something wider. Thanks! |

Reasonably priced, decent leather is available from Franklin and Levy's. I use both and have been happy with both.
I have a 3" wide leather Franklin on my 1976 LP Deluxe that weighs 11lbs on the nose... makes the guitar playable and doesn't kill my shoulder like it did on a 2" strap. |

How do you attach it to your guitar? I'm looking something that won't come off or present a problem. |

Grolsch beer bottle gaskets. Little red rubber gaskets I put on the strap pin after putting the straps on. Been using them for years and never had a failure. Those of us that are teetotalers are forced to buy neoprene washers from hardware stores or Amazon. The lameness of that helps distract from the way I've usually messed up the buckle less leather weaving adjustment on my Franklin strap. 
What kind of guitar are you playing? Some have large strap buttons that hold pretty well. If you want to be lazy, the Planet Waves ratchet lock straps may be an option. I keep one draped over the guitar stand to share between a Les Paul and Tele. |

Ordered a Dean Cadillac X Blackout (being delivered tomorrow). Think I'm going to stick with the DiMarzio Cliplock strap. I have one on my V and might as well keep it all the same. Thanks for the input fellas! I had no idea they still made the Cadillac! I had one of the setneck burst finished ones back in the late 80s... somewhat sad I sold it. |

The one thing that annoys me about straps with Fastex buckle ends is getting them to work with tightly fitted cases. I had to break down some of the firm foam on one of my Ibanez RG's guitar cases to make it fit.
Then my drummer buddy did a handstand next to the open case and fell over on it. It blew one of the hinges off and left a permanent shoe skid across the top. Yeah, I still use the case. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile That's why I use straplocks. Easy on, easy off. Then I just throw the strap in the case's storage compartment. |
