- There aren't enough videos talking about guitar straps and I only use Levy straps. My boy Wes Liggett was telling me earlier today about Anthology straps, so I added their link below and ordered one today because it looks like another sick strap. Shout out to my boy Todd Thozeski (Toddzilla) in Georgia for sharing the Moon Embassy strap which is just $22; I just ordered two this morning!

Watching the commercials instead of skipping. Don’t want to see you retire again.
Bro, trust that I totally understand that it's annoying but when I watch Truck Driver Shawn, I will click on all the ads. It drives me crazy too but it really does help each CZcamsr. Thank you for doing that, Bruce! You don't have to click on each one but from time to time, you can click on them. Thanks for being awesome, bro!! That honestly means a lot, bro! : )
I use levy straps and Dunlop strap locks on my B Bender guitars.
Completely agree with you on the comfort of them.
Great straps, right! I feel like more dudes should use them. I'm glad you use both the Levy and Dunlop locks! They're the best combo!
For my Ibanez guitars, I always used the Planet Waves woven straps. I even have some of the first runs of the Joe Satriani designed ones and they were really good quality. I started noticing that more recent manufacturing of those exact same straps has gone downhill. I switched to Levy's 2" Cotten straps and have been really happy with those. I pair them all with Schaller strap locks.
Agree 100%, the original satriani were bomb proof, newer models do seem less well made
Thanks for your review, this has helped me an awful lot!
Nearly all my guitar straps are 2.5" and I've been thinking about these 3" padded ones as I'm not a spring chicken anymore. But, I thought this extra half inch would make them too wide, however your excellent review shows this is absolutely not the case and they are really comfortable!
Cheers and thanks again,
Mike
You're going to love it! Glad you caught my episode, bro! :)
I just bought Levy's strap MSS2-4-BLK Garment Leather, thanks to your movie. Its around 60$ now from Amazon. I use levyy straps in my electric guitar too. It's worth its price compared to offered comfort.
Walker and Williams guitar straps are awesom too.
I'll google them right now, I've never heard of that company. Thanks for letting me know, John! You are the man!! :)
I think you are gonna dig that anthology. It’s not foam padded, only thick ass high quality leather. It’s super stiff at first, but after a few hours of sweating, drinking, and playing, it becomes a part of your body. Mine are perfectly formed to my shoulder now. It’s heavy and thick like a gentle Burmese python cuddling up by your neck.
That's even better, that it's full leather! Thanks for the heads up on those, Wes! I put a link and mentioned you bc the Anthology strap looks better!
Broooooo. I just wanna say I purchased my first ever E-II the other day and I figure you’d be proud lol. Only ever played LTDs until now! Good to see you’re back from retirement.
Hell yeah, Jay! How great that you got a ESP!!! Congratulations, bro!!! How exciting!!!! I'm super thrilled for you! I know making that leap felt great!!
@@louistorres thanks brother! This is not even the same ballpark, hell not even the same sport as my 1000 series and 600 series LTDs.
Levy straps are the best ever. I have one on every guitar I own.
Aren't they great! I just ordered straps from Anthology and Moon Embassy, to see how they are! I love Levy straps!
@@louistorres I started using that same strap two years ago with my Les Paul's. It is the best strap in terms of comfort and padding. I can play a 9-pound Les Paul Gothic for 2 and 1/2 hours with no problems. You never realize the value in things like a good strap until you've had a bruise in the shoulder from rocking out with a brand new guitar that's heavier than you're used to.
I definitely have my fair share of Ernie Ball nylon straps that I've collected over the years. They tend to end up on lighter guitars like my Suhr Strat and Tele.
I will give an honorable mention to Legato straps. I got one as a gift a few years ago and it seems to look good and it's colors go well with my new Tele.
I’m quite an active player I jump about with my guitar a lot,the Dunlop buttons kept getting ripped out of the body so I switched to the dimarzio clip locks never looked back since🔥
Whoa!! They ripped out!? Let me look up the DiMarzio Clip Locks!! : )
Quick fix - before screwing in the dunlop button, place a few toothpicks or stick-matches into the existing hole - it would sit much tighter then
@@PARAMONARIOS i done that with toothpicks just kept ripping out and making the hole bigger
Great to see you back
Thanks, brother! I'm back at it and looking at it from another point of view. :)
The best straps man, leather STRAPS!!!!
I use DR leather straps, super soft high grade leather that are more comfortable than the Levi's in my opinion.
I use levys with schaller locks on my lester
awesome product
Great straps, right!
Awesome video! I'm glad that you are back :)
I need to upgrade my son's strap. He uses this cheap thin leather strap from Dean guitars that's just not comfortable. When we buy this house next month I'm going to order this strap with strap locks.
He's going to love them!
I have a Levi’s #1 which is the Buckethead strap but that won’t work on an SG. I used the old Schaller strap locks which are still sold by Fender and Guitar Fetish. If you have 47 guitars you have G.A.S. As the late Tom Petty said “ You really only need one.”
My guitars have shaller locks. A few are the DiMarzio straps with the slide locks
Straps and picks are both something in experiment with. I have only one leather one, it's walker an Williams with a cool western floral like pattern on it i think it was 30, but when i tried it i was like holy shit this is a world of difference especially with a les paul style heavy guitar.
I use a leather Gibson strap with Dunlop strap lock and I installed those on almost every guitar I have now, and I get those strap studs on eBay for 5.99
Yes bro! Dunlop strap locks are so easy to use! Hell yeah and happy Wednesday, David!
@@louistorres You too man!
Good job bro, got one on my L.P. love these!
Was using Dimarzio strap locks in the old skool days and switched about a year ago to the Dunlop Strap locks. Best bar none since the Dimarzios imo.
i have a variety of straps for each guitar, but some have strap locks, all should
You like the Schaller S-Locks? Is the Levy easy to adjust?
Dude, I'm such a moron. I have one of these straps, and for some reason I thought it was made by LEVI's lol. Creo que no. Great strap though, especially for a heavier guitar like a Les Paul.
When I got the first one, I went to their CZcams channel and that's how I learned that they pronounce it Le-vee vs Lee-vy like the jeans company. :)
We all have our likes, I love Couch guitar straps
My guitar slides while I'm playing standing up.. I want my guitar to stay at a same classical position throughout the session..
Will these straps solve the problem?
Do you have a link to where you get these padded levy straps I need one for my bass
Hey Louis how do I set up my levy Strap like James hetfeild uses Just like you did with youres if you don't mind me asking
You mean with the quick disconnect and swapping of straps? Get the Dunlop Straplok system. That's all I use, that's how I swap between guitars bc all of my guitars have the connector on the horn and rear. :)
Yup like watching tv.. my bro needs paid so iam watching the commercials 🤣🤣..
I know it's annoying to do but please know that I really appreciate you doing that, Rob. It means a lot, bro and I love that it's literally my crew that's doing that. Thank you so so much, Rob! You are the man!! Thank you again!!
@@louistorres no more retirement talk till your fingers fall off. If you cant stand sit. ❤
I got Franklin Leather instead, only $40, made in USA.........Just purchased my first Gibson and Never realized How heavy guitars can be!! I'm a muscular dude and that Gibson Wrecks my traps in like 30 minutes, it's a boat anchor.
Yeah bro, heavy guitars are terrible on traps. Going to check out Franklin Leather straps now, thanks for teling me about them, Mike! :)
I've got a strap from Amazon and it's 3" wide and padded but I'm thinking of purchasing strap locks. I've used Dunlop products for a while and I might want to purchase the strap locks
get'm get'm straps
Dunlop straploks are the best!
I use that exact levy strap on my bass. Its wide and great padding. They are worth the price even though i only payed $10 for mine.
You paid $10!! Hahaha! That's awesome! I just bought a few different straps, in hopes of making a new video with straps. : )
@@louistorres i also have a 2" green leather levy on my avion. That one was $40 tho. I like them and plan on getting more.
hey man,i hope u doing well.can u make a comparison between dual and triple rectifire??🍻🍻🍻🍻
They're the same, one is louder.
With my straps I am constantly pulling the neck up on stage to play solos. Its causes heavy guitars to slide. Does this help prevent that? Cool video and dig the channel
The Levy straps and the Anthology straps are great and clings to your shoulder more than other straps I've used. Thank you for watching my channel, bro and I think you'll like either one of those straps!
@@louistorres thanks i will check them out. Cool recto videos. I have had mine twenty years and love the tone.
"75 is a lot for a strap...
I ordered 4 new ones..."
It's not a lot for me but considering most straps can be had for $30, more than double is a bit. That being said, check out Anthology straps.
So I know I set it up correctly
Grab the Dunlop Straplok system. It's ALL I use, bro. You'll love it!!
@@louistorres ok Just the strap locks or ask Sweetwater for the Dunlop strap locks system thanks bro I appreciate it
Those seem like great straps. Are they adjustable?
Yes sir! There are notches that allow you to extend its length from 37" to 51". You would be fine, even at your height. :) At 51", my guitars would be at my ankles. Hahaha!
47 guitars!!! DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Hahaha! I have a little problem buying guitars, that's all. Haha!
Riiiight!!?
Hey bud, just for reference on knowing if the 3-inch width is for me: how tall and how much do you weigh?
Thanks in advance!
I'm 6'2" and 235lbs. 2 1/2" or the 3" straps will help with spread the weight and they padding will soften any pressure you feel.
Thank you. Which length is that strap please?
They only have one size, but it's adjustable, so you can have you guitar up to your nose or down to your shins. :)
The 3.5in ones on Amazon for 22 bucks are insanely good.
DIMARZIO CLIPS!!!!!
nearly 50 guitars... uhhh
It's kind of crazy, I know.
you Get what you pay for, I spend $40 on my leather strap, worth it ALL day.
This guy looks like Jared Dines wtf.
I'm 53! You mean Jared looks like me! I was playing God damn CBGBs opening up for WarZone before he was alive!! And, I'm better looking!!!
Pete Steele best strap ever! 🤢
Hey Loumis had a question ❓ for you may sound kind of dumb but here goes not to familiar with using a tremolo system the floyd rose but if a guitar has one fo you have to keep on there in order to play the guitar or can you leave it off do each persons preferences until they get better to use it srry if it sounds dumb asking but was a drummer well over 15 yrs want learn to play guitar now and dont know bout that type of thing and seen a lot of guitars i like and some has it and others don't does it really make a difference if its only for dive bombs and shit or does it make it a difference just trying to learn as i go casue cloed mouth dont get fed if you dont reach out and learn by questions you ask id appreciate it brother
Nothing is ever dumb, bro. It's a great question, actually. It's just a personal preference, like having different depth snares and how tight you want your skin to be. You just have to try different guitars and see what works for you. I like Floyd Rose and non-tune-o-matic hard tails, like the one on my paul reed smith. Try a few at guitar center and see what feels right to you. Hope that helps, brother and have a great Christmas!!
@@louistorres you to brother Merry Christmas
Levy's black leather M7GG 2" for me.
It has a buckle adjustment which allows adjustment on the fly (not as fast a s a nymon strap, but way faster than taking the whole strap apart) (some others do to, but have a nylon back which defeats the purpose of leather lol). They have a 3" too, but it's not necessary. 3" is for bass and heavy Les Pauls! 😂 😂 😂
Here is the strap I use. It's never in stock at this price.
