Finding And Purchasing Guitar Straps
Choosing and buying guitar straps can be an easy process. Whether you need one for an electric or acoustic, six-string or bass, straps come in all sizes, styles, colors and patterns. They are also made from nylon, leather or cotton, so durability typically is not an issue. In fact, most often, they are bought simply due to the preference of the owner. Generally, the tabs on either end of the strap will rip or stretch too much and then a new one may need to be considered.
When looking for a new one, you can either go to a music store, or purchase one online. Going to an actual music store can offer you the ability to try one on, adjust it to fit, etc... Going online will offer you a much broader variety of styles and give you the opportunity to see straps from around the world.
Depending on your guitar type, the strap you need may need to be longer, or more adjustable. This is because bass guitars, that typically hang under the waist, require longer/adjustable ones. Whereas electric and/or acoustic guitars are either played on your lap or positioned above your waist and do not require such a long one. Whichever you decide, either one can easily be found.
Whether you go online, or to the music store, the cost really is insignificant. Typically, the prices will be quite reasonable and vary depending on the type and if you want it personalized. Many musicians like to have their initials, names, or other personalized information put on it. This can done easily but adds to the cost.
Since durability is almost never a concern, you might be able to purchase one from a thrift store, garage sale, or find "used" ones on the internet. This a good way to find unique straps and is safe to do. It's always nice to have more than one anyway.
You can really bring out your personality all in the color, pattern or design of your guitar strap. Whether it's Christian logos, secular or any kind of customization, you can choose to add character to this purchase. A lot of guitar players take time to pick out their style and choose certain details they want included. Sometimes they even receive sponsorships that help them to not only customize them, but also add a specific flare to it.
Fortunately, many companies and manufacturers make these items. You can find makers like Fender, Washburn, Ernie Ball and Gibson as well as a lot of other not so famous companies that provide very good straps.
