Great Straps for Alembics...
« on: August 30, 2009, 03:27:54 PM »
No doubt here at the club, you will find the most beautifulest guitars on the Web.  
 
With all that beauty, what about the straps, which holds those masterpieces?  
 
What are your preferences on straps in general?  
 
I would love to see all the designs and patterns.  
(Pictures Please.)

Crag, why do you recommend these straps?
 
Are those the straps you have on your guitar(s)?
 
Please provide some context... (what's the good, bad, and ugly?) Theme, color, studs, leather, cloth, padded, orthopedic etc...?
 
Thank you much.

I use the PRS straps on my guitars. They are very well made, and look awesome. I use the wider Alembic strap on my basses. Again very well made, and looks great... I think both of these brands of straps are some of the best ones out there. Imho....

My Alembic Bridle or Leash...
 
Here's my favorite Strap... custom all the way.
 
I had this strap for 22 years as add medallions from the many places I visited.  
 
It's very soft now, but when I got from a leather tannery, this thing hard as a rock. But over the years, it nice on my shoulders.  
 
To match, I have these leather strap locks to keep metal ways away from wood, and it looks great and very natural too.
