Title: Guitar Straps Post by: GNR4L on March 22, 2008, 02:57:46 PM I just want a standard black guitar strap that can adjust real low ( I hate straps that are to high looks like the beatles playing) if anyone could help that would be great I got a epiphone gibson black beauty.
Title: Re: Guitar Straps Post by: IzzyDutch on March 22, 2008, 03:03:28 PM I have a Epi LP Custom, great guitars 8)
Anyways, I have four guitars and two straps and both I use a shoe lacet (spelling?) which covers the last 10 centimetres orso, really works well. I'm a tall guy and I hate playing with a high hung guitar, my arm will literally fall asleep then :P So I started using those shoe lacets years ago cause I couldn't find long straps anywhere. And it works well, I just tie them with a simple knot to the bottum of the guitar, I folded the lacets double so it's double lined. Also when it's really tight they don't let loose very easily, sometimes I change the strap to another guitar and it'll take me ten minutes just to get the knot out.
