Straps
I have this really shitty nylon strap that falls apart every fricken time I use it. The end near the neck pops off everytime and I have to stop playing and reattach it. What's a good strap that looks cool and doesn't fall apart?

Black leather strap - $8
Dunlop strap locks - $20

forget strap locks, I have a 2 inch wood screw and some washers through a Levy strap and it has never fallen off, not for anything, running, jumping, around-the-worlds, nothing, it was the cost of a nice strap, I paid 20 for the strap, and then 2 screws and some washers, a few cents at a hardware store

amen to that.
strap locks are good, or depending on the guitar some people just prefer good ol' duct tape.

I thought that the dimarzio clip straps were pretty cool. Doesn't seem that plastic would be dependable though. Any thoughts?

Where the fuck do oyu buy those big wide black leather straps. Like Zakk Wyldes for example. Those are killer. I think you have one Nihilist, don't remember.

Zakk staps will never fall off because he uses these metal loops, like the one eddie van halen used. And then he either clips a chain to them or a huge leather strrap made by red monkey leather.

I can't find thick black leather straps ANYWHERE. The only wide straps I've seen were acoustic straps and those are ugly.

Yeah, I'm looking into getting a strap. The stores around here overprice them though. I'm looking online to find a cool looking strap that matches my brown burst strat. Any good online shops you guys recommend? I've looked at some already but nothing has popped out at me.
