Re: leather straps : yay or nay?
Oh yeah, i REALLY need a nice leather strap!
I have about 3 black ones, and a nice purple\silver planet waves strap.... but none do my sunburst fretless any justice!

Same here. I loved the look of a leather strap so I bought one when I got my G&L. I returned it 2 hours later and exchanged it for a gig bag and nylon strap. I found that I move my guitar alot based on what part of the fret board I'm playing at the moment. The leather strap didn't want to slide, and was actually twisting my shirt pretty badly. Something I hadn't considered. But it looked pretty cool.XSSIVE said:

I have 4" leather straps for everything. Distributes the weight nicely and look great.

Re: leather straps : yay or nay?
Same here, as well. I can't stand how leather straps grab your shirt like that.
That said, the black nylon one on my RR-1 broke today, the little plastic buckle just broke. I might just tape it up, though.

Re: leather straps : yay or nay?
I like the my Fender tweed strap the best. I've got a leather one that cost $30 but I don't use it much. It is the kind of leather strap that is soft to the touch, maybe if I had the shiny leather straps like boot leather I'd like it better, but the strap I have dosen't move without taking your shirt with it. My Fender strap moves freely without catching on my shirt.

Re: leather straps : yay or nay?
i use simple black cloth ones (I dont like how nylon feels)...since I am short, I can never adjust leather ones to be 'perfect' for me, plus I don't want my strap detracting from my raw sexuality..
no, actually, i just haven't found one I like, and once I got used to the cloth ones (I use fenders) I spend $$ on other stuff.

dunlop d-38's. sturdiest nylon strap ive ever seen. its all i use. leather is just too damn expensive, and i can never find one long enough (full length with same width, i hate when they have the skinny adjuster things on the ends)

Re: leather straps : yay or nay?
Depends on the guitar.
My Fenders are lighter and fairly well balanced. As a result a nylon Ernie Ball strap is enough for them. My shoulder isn't tired after a 3 set night and I don't feel like I'm juggling anything.
For my Gibson and Grecos I go with a wide padded Levys leather strap. As some folks mentioned they leather will grab at the shirt. Some folks "grab" is another mans "anchor". And after a 3 set night with a 9 pounder you'll appreciate the good weight distribution.
