Wondering what types of straps do you guys use on your guitars? Do most of you use Levy's?
 
I just got two 4" wide Italia straps. Really comfortable!!! Nice soft thick leather.
 
Those straps that look like smooth seatbelt material, with thick leather ends to really hold onto the guitar. It's light, comfortable and slides easliy on my shoulder.

Ernie Ball black nylon. I have them on every guitar. Always will.

I have tried a few too, I have planet waves Satriani which looks really cool and I dig, but for some reason the Ernie Ball Nylon strap is THE MOST comfortable strap for me.

It's light, and will slide easily on my shirt without wrinkling it.

My preference too. :thumbsup: They allow a me to slide the guitar around as I please, and they don't draw attention away from other important things.
 
I have a green Ernie Ball strap for the candy green SoCal and then a couple black leather straps for my LP's. No idea who made them. I have a couple brown leather straps somewhere too. No idea who made them either.
 
one question for the owners of leather straps...... does the strap slides well? like a nylon strap?

Nope
edit = I should be more clear. Suede does not move. Finished Leather moves OK but not like most synthetics.
 
I have Italia leather straps with suede backing. My guitar doesn't slide at all which I like.
 
I use a couple of homemade 1 piece 2.5 inch black leather straps. Very thick and smooth. They are VERY stiff like saddle leather. After many years they have formed to my shoulder and look disfigured when off the guitar. They are slick but not as slick as Nylon.

Nylon cuts into my shoulder just above the collar. This is the only reason I don't like Nylon.

No, but that's why I like them. I use onori l7 straps on pretty much everything.
