I'd go local and custom.

In the movie put out about Lemmy, the one that followed him around to his house and studio, they interviewed the man that made Lemmy's boots. I'd contact him about making something.

Or the guy who makes Gene Simmons' cod pieces.

Is that for if you want to relic a guitar while you play it, killing two birds...?

There’s a company in Germany that makes official Motörhead straps. They’re surprisingly affordable, cheaper than similar Chinese crap.

But if you want the ones that Lemmy actually used, they’re made to order in NYC and cost $275. Honestly I think $275 is a reasonable price for good American leatherwork.

Maybe you can get one sewn from whale foreskins?

Me, I like skinny Fender vintage straps for Tele's.

My #1 suggestion continues to be Italia straps (https://www.italiastraps.com/) The prices are high - but they are essentially always on sale at 2-for-one.

but I have also heard good things about Walker & Williams (https://walkerandwilliams.com/)

Y’know, never would have guessed it, but I am actually considering one of the Lemmy straps. Hmmm.

Any experience with this brand?

That’s a lot of butt plugs. Metal in a nutshell.

Looks like something you could get at Guitar Center. Standard, stock, not special.

I like the Couch stuff. Not that high end—they’re in the $40 to $70 range. They’re made of upcycled vintage vinyl and the like and I have found them comfy, durable, and reliable.

I love the look of the Couch straps but the one I had didn't last as long as the Levy's straps I've been using for years.

Because of this thread, I started looking for a new strap. My current go-to is a Franklin 2.5" padded leather strap, which I love except that the inside is smooth leather, so it slides. I wanted a similar strap but with suede in the inside.

I found a Levy's that is perfect. It's the Right Height. Easily adjustable, and perfect for those of us with multiple guitars who like to use one strap for all. As most of you know, different guitars don't sit at the same height due to strap button location. This strap solves that.

All my guitars have Schaller straplocks, so I just put the straplocks on this strap and I'm in strap heaven!
