I have a black Fender vintage strap that looks pretty good. It has a nice vibe to it. That might work.

I have one of these on my strat, have heard some people say they're not great, but I quite like mine. Maybe the one on the far right would be cool with lake placid blue? But then again I'm not known for my good taste :roll:

I have the same guitar lpb. I was going through the same dilemma. I finally found a white dimmarzio strap made of cotton, which feels nice and strong, for ten bucks at musicians friend. When I received it I liked it even more cause it was kinda off white which matched
The guitar perfectly
Here's the link

I wish it were easier to find good straps without a logo. I'd pay extra not to have to advertise for a particular brand.
I've seen many great straps that I have walked away from because of a prominent Gibson/Martin/Fender/PRS logo. To me, it's like buying a new suit and not cutting off the outside tag. Tacky.

D'Addario's Planet Wave Planet Lock straps, the Black ones fabricated from "Woven - Ultra-soft tubular nylon and supple, combed polyester" are far more comfortable than the PolyPro type, and they are free of any Brand logo. The locking straps are secure and interchangeable between guitars with standard guitar strap buttons. They are also available in a variety of graphic versions.Image

i do like the Levys straps. they offer a nice lower grade guitar strap.
ive never heard of a problem with them. they have all kinds of designs for just about everything.
for a good midgrade strap try brookwood leather guitar straps.
they are limited on their designs but better quality that the levys.
i like the buckle design they put on most of their straps. looks neater and cleaner than a lot of other straps. they dont look like a kids strap or low budget



Cool, never heard of those before.

I always go with Fender Tweed or embroided logo straps.

Those are easy to find, replaceable and look quite cool.

Got a pic of one that's free of any Brand logo too?

Perri's have a few. I have a couple of them, but I haven't been impressed with the quality. A suede PRS strap is the most comfortable I have, but it sports a logo, so I don't use it outside the house.

[Addendum: I just checked my Planet Lock straps. Contrary to what the Amazon photo shows, each of my 4 straps is entirely without any product lettering!]

If what is now being manufactured & shipped has "Planet Waves" and the Logo appearing in white on the locking mechanism (as depicted in the Amazon photo), and that is objectionable, a few touches with a Sharpie marker will remedy that.

I have 4 of these straps I use with my Les Pauls, Strat, and Guild Acoustic, w/o any problem. YMMV.

I got one of these, I think it looks good with everything. They can't ship them the the US for some reason.
Really comfortable. It makes my LP Custom nearly wearable

These seem to come in two qualities. There are the vinyl/leatherette backed ones that come in the case candy bag and woven nylon/cordura backed ones.

Despite not being permeable I think the leatherette version is more comfortable as it tends to have more give.
