fakfak Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm experimenting with my new Les Paul and am finding that the standard 2" Fender straps I use on my other guitars are simply not working well for me with a guitar of this weight. Anyone have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman522 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 you should probably get a strap lock, it will prevent the strap from coming off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakfak Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 It's not so much an issue of the strap coming off as it is ending up with a huge knot in my shoulder from 10+ pounds of weight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp★rkle Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 get new straps :D maybe the holes on your strap is already big :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 get a strap with extra padding. they can be found almost anywhere you get straps. they provide padding to absorb the weight of the guitar, as well as making it easier on your shoulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakfak Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Thanks. I've not really paid that much attention to straps available before as my $5 nylon fender ones work just fine with my Tele's. Guess I should broaden my horizons a bit...

Malcolm-Edge Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Get rid of the Les Paul and go back to Fenders! Im kidding...well not really but, get a new strap maybe? Mine works well on most guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanadude Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 This is the most comfortable strap I've come across so far - I have back problems, so I went through a lot of different straps before I found one that works: http://www.activemusician.com/item--EM.CSPGL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
