how different straps change my tone.

This is a true Cobain fan. He even got the strap right for ultimate Nevermind toan

Nice comprehensive rundown on the gear. Toanz sound good too. The 59 neck in the bridge of the strat sounds so sweet clean.

He played About a girl wrong. At the end of the chorus you're supposed to slide from open E to A shape E but he only plays open E. He'd better step it up if he's a true fan.

but he has the right strap for the job, which is half the battle

Did you know despite playing lefty, Cobain never cut a record with a lefty strap?

 

[jeremy]

left straps dont sound as good for the most part, better to use a righty strap flipped over to get the best tone

I have a key update. I was a bit unhappy with the tone in one of my guitars. I tried all kinds of straps and nothing, it still sounded flimsy.

I just put strap locks and it's just exactly what I needed. Much heavier and tighter tone. Highly recommend.

You don't know how many guitars I've had that were wonderfully resonant, but all the mojo slipped away because the way the strap and my body coupled with it killed all the vibrations.

Then there's when you take the strap off and sit down. The lack of a strap makes it open, airy and transparent sounding.

I've had my old standby nylon strap on the LP lately instead of leather. Wouldn't say it's smoother but it's a little more slick, and it's easier to get the level sitting exactly where I want. Plus the strap hasn't been washed in almost 30 years, so there's a layer of top-end grit that really cuts through.

 

[Mincer]

Soak a cotton strap in wine for 14 nights, and be astounded at how cozy you'll sound.

 

[beaubrummels]

That would slow the tempo of my shred.

That would slow the tempo of my shred.

But would add a lot more feeling

I thought this was a read only area?

 

[Chistopher]

I've discovered that if I lengthen my strap I look cooler but play worse. I'm still weighing the pros and cons, though I'll probably end up on some sort of middle ground.

Gotta say I love this strap I got during Fender's last clearance with this guitar. It just works.

First of all, when it comes to Black Nylon, I think we all would agree it is the 59/PAF of straps, and never a bad choice. I prefer Black Nylon more in this context though. I find it really "tightens" things up, even though they don't thing for the guitar tone...
