I like the battery access near the end pin also. Couple of my guitars have that set up. You have a great day also Cindy ! 🎸🎸🎸
Thanks, you too!😄
For acoustics I use Roc-Loc on my straps. It works on any strap button, quick clip on and off.
Those strap loc systems are very nice. Thanks. ❤️
To soften straps, you can get leather softener or even use hand lotion (which I learned from a man who has made and sold leather guitar straps to sell for years) - the lotion may darken the strap a tad after it dries. The man then said to rub the strap back and forth on a table leg or something sturdy to break in the leather fibers. Works very well most of the time, though I have a strap that refuses to soften - the hide must have been extra tough lol. 😂 🤷🏼♀️ 🐮 💪🏻
The first time I tried to figure out a leather strap with the same tail, I felt like hiring a basket weaver to help. It seems I got it right in the end, but I couldn’t tell you how I managed that feat. It was purely accidental, lol.
I also don’t like strap buttons that have the pickup jack within them. Aside from being much larger and tough to get straps onto, it’s just awkward if you want to unhook a strap because then you have to yank the cord out to do it. And worse yet, that means the weight of the guitar is anchored to the end pin and putting pressure against the electronics rather than hanging from a button with no electronics that can potentially break with time. I wish L.R. Baggs and others who do this sort of combo endpin-strap button would at least give a choice to have a separate strap and smaller strap button. Why do they think hanging a strap off that giant monstrosity is a better idea?!
Or they need to redesign the attachment that screws on to the jack. It’s too wide and does not adapt to a heavy leather easily. Now that we solved that problem 🤣🤣
Hi from central Illinois USA. Thanks for what you do. I like your road trip idea. Count me in. 😊
Awesome! Thank you!❤️
Thank you for sharing your strap with us.I hope you have a great day.
Thank you! You too!😀
That's EXACTLY how I adjust my Levys!
It works 😀
It Will bunch up unless that adjuster loop piece is at the end slot. Thread from the end you want then loop the tail back down over top,entering last slot and adjuster piece before the tail goes to guitar.
Good mental exercise you can use the brain power to remember the next chord!
Definitely a good mental exercise 🤣. Thanks for sharing your method ❤️
Thanks for the strap advice and pin placement. I have one guitar that wouldn't balance well it's strap. I wrapped the strap (where it rests on my shoulder) with that brown wrap used for sprain/bandage (gauze) because it's sticky to solve the problem and hold the guitar in place
That’s good that you found a solution. Perhaps there is a strap that is already padded. Or car seat belt padding might work too. Thanks for watching 😀
The leather strap looks good ,I prefer the fabric strap with a plastic buckle,the Other thing to watch is the strap coming off the pin,I put on a rubber ring that goes over the top,have a nice day Cindy
Strap locks are a good idea! I have even made them out of an old credit card😀. Thanks❤️
Good morning ! 🎸🎸🎸
Good morning!🌞
I use a leather thong attached to the keyhole, knotted and put that on the strap pin. It frees up the girth on the pin
Thanks for sharing 😀
YES!!!!! What do you do with that strappy thing 😆😂🤣🤪😩😂😅🤣
I made and ate a cherry pie while you fixed up the strap!!! Just kidding 😄- those type of straps are sometimes confusing! Great practical video Cindy!!
Thanks😀🤣
thank you!
You're welcome!❤️
The shoelace trick.
Do you mean the tie on at the nut? Or are you referring to another option?😀
Maybe they have to use a bigger bullit to shoot the bull 🐃 😂
I used a branding iron to widen it ... (and decorate the belt a bit ...)
That sounds like it would work 😀. Thanks for the tip.
