QUOTE(valkyrie1232 @ Apr 22 2007, 09:34 AM) Hi I've got a pretty simple question and I don't really feel like opening up a thread just for the sake of it and I don't really know where else to post this question. somebody is making it big already eh ? Where can I find a decent guitar strap with shoulder pads? Planet Waves stock these straps but I was told the strap locks rub against the guitar and may cause damage thru extended use. And the ones without strap locks, come without the shoulder pads either...  Mu budget is well..hopefully something not beyond RM100.00 la My apologies to Mr Blacktrix in advance if this question is in the wrong place.  gigging alot , need strap with shoulder pads |

If you're planning on gigging, you must DEFINITELY practice standing up.
Or heck, even jamming sessions, you better learn to play standing....... |

I just play with my guitar high up...its pretty comfortable, and can reach the upper frets easier.

just watch how low james hetfield's guitar is while he's standing and you will know everything is possible~
when u play any V shape model while sitting, u can always hang the guitar with the strap so that it wont slip. |
