Topic: Guitar strap materials

I currently am using a Dunlop nylon strap on my electric guitar, and if I play for a longer amount of time, it irritates the skin on my shoulder.  I had a leather strap for a while, but I didn't like it because it pulled on my clothing funny.  So I went back to the nylon one, and I need to find a new one.  What kind material would anybody reccomend for a strap? Polyester? Cotton? I want one that will slide on my shoulder.  Thanks!

Re: Guitar strap materials

What you might wanna consider doing is turning your leather strap around and wear it slippery side against your clothing. It won't look as nice but it'll stop yankin' your shirt around..........

Give everything but up.

Re: Guitar strap materials

Try a product called Tuck Tape, it has a very smooth side and a very sticky side, on the inside of your strapp. It is used in house building. Just a thought that may help.

Badeye ... cool
