long straps

Unread post by gatorz95 » Sun Jan 26, 2003 1:55 am

I'm looking for a place that sells long guitar straps. I'm tall (6'-5") and typically use the last hole in what I would consider a regular strap. Not sure if a longer strap would feel more comfortable, but I figured I would try it out if I found a place that sold them or was willing to make custom.

I'd say the sound hole is a little above my belly button. But I'm built like a lineman....big shoulders...wear 54" jacket....290lbs.

I agree with Xoosh. If you're doing anything but strumming, get the guitar up high. Of course, if you just strum it, and that's fine, go as low as you want, I guess.

Everybody always asks me how she's doing. Has she really lost her mind? I said "I couldn't tell you, I've lost mine."
