Guitar Straps

[BetterOffShred]

I'm 6'3" and I wear them high AF like Tom Morello .. I just always enjoyed the way my left arm feels (more like wrist) fretting with it up higher. I can't do the Korn or the Zakk Wyldie

I usually wear my guitar at gut level so I push out some sweet vape clouds when I dig in for a solo.

got two leather strap from different local ''leather worker'' (if that makes sense). So yeah two local handmade leather strap, I don't gig but when I jam or something I like them high too.

So much this. I'm only 6" but still can't do the down low thing.

High up guitar means my right hand doesn't need to work as hard, except when I need to hit the strings a bit harder. People that play really low seem to have to constantly hammer away and then hit a stomp to change dynamics which isn't how I play these days.

There's a leather worker (tanner? ) just started up near me and I was wondering if they'd be up for doing guitar straps.

i generally tend to use Levy's 2" suede straps, because apparently i'm a basic bitch. i can't use wider straps because they cut off the circulation in my narrow shoulder/neck area. i wear the guitar fairly high because otherwise the right wrist goes all wonky/carpal tunnel-y.

Sooo, my job got some really nice new guitar straps, and I got an LP, so I relented and got some new straps.

My back thanks me.

As for height, I used to wear my shit super low, still do for bass. For guitar I try to find a happy medium.

I'm a small man and I need a short strap to sling 'em high.

Me too. I have my couch strap as short as it goes and wish it had a bit more room for adjustment.

I'm a fat man and like the room oddly though each guitar has to have it's own special spot... No 2 guitars sit at the same height. No even my 2 Los strangely enough

[BetterOffShred]

That's a good point. I like my neck heavy SG a little lower than the rest.. I think it's because I hold the neck even higher to compensate.

I play guitars pretty high, mid chest usually. I find it the most comfortable for my arms and it makes heavy guitars easy to deal with.
