What guitar strap?

Gear & Tools Talk
1

I want to stand more when I practice but I find that the head stock wants to ‘fall’ so I’m forever having to re-adjust the guitar into place. My strap is a cheapy thin little one and I’m thinking a wider, grippier one would probably help with this.
Anyone got any suggestion for good strap to help with this sort of issue?

Colin,

I got one of these from my electric Strap and something similar for my acoustic and because my acoustic doesn’t have a strap pin on it, I got one of these as well Strap adapter

I hope that helps.

What is the guitar ? I pretty much use Minotaur on all my electrics and they are mainly wider bass type straps. I have Strats, SG, LPs and HBs and acoustics and everything sits still when I play standing up.

Hi Colin,
Soft strap
I have quite a few different ones here, but this one replaces them all.

I use this strap in combo with the following straplocks:

It feels good and is comfortable :slight_smile:

Not overly heavy but I think the strap is just crap.
Few options suggested by the crew hear. Probably need to get to the store and try a few but at least I know there are straps that hold guitars in place better than my current.

@SgtColon @roger_holland @demon326 . Thanks guys for the info. I’ll check some of these suggestions out.

My 2 Washburn HBs and my Gretsch Streamline all wear the Minotaur straps, with the washer style strap locks. No issues with any of them. Glad to have helped.

Another thought, wearing a cotton T shirt helps as well. If I’m wearing a dry-fit work polo my guitars slide around no matter what the strap.

I like this with a build in strap lock. I’ve had it a few months and using it on my epiphone les paul.
