My buddy just got a Guild Starfire IV which looks like this:

His birthday is coming up and I want to get him a cool strap to go with it, since he just has one of those regular black canvas ones. What do you think would look dope and fresh with it?

I'd also suggest the 80s Red Mercedes strap if you're not worried about the reds being different: https://www.couchguitarstraps.com/guita ... strap.html

I think the Deadstock Cadillac Sunburst would look freakin' fantastic on that guitar: https://www.couchguitarstraps.com/guita ... strap.html

Or the Cadillac Silverburst! https://www.couchguitarstraps.com/guita ... strap.html

I've got a couch as well, and I can only agree with everyone else. Here are their etsy page, check it https://www.etsy.com/se-en/shop/couchgu ... aps?page=1

Yeah, couch is great! I have one of their racer straps. Very comfy. Weighing between VW Bus and Cadillac...

I wanna get the black and white racer x strap to match my bass VI.

Hopefully it'll tire my shoulder out a little less than my thin, shitty fabric strap, cause that bass vi is heavy as fuck.

Yep, Couch all the way. I've got the black VW and the red Mercedes strap (as well as a bunch of others :facepalm: ). Pick up a belt and a wallet while you're there. Good company, good people. :thumb:

How tall are they? That makes a huge impact on what straps people use.

I'd love to use something other than the generic Ernie Ball nylon one, but at 6'8", it's the only strap I've ever owned that wasn't extended at max and still having it across my chest.

I just bought a strap made by Get'm Get'm. They are super long just in case you're Krist Novoselic, and it matched my Jazzmaster perfectly. Plus part of their profits go to animal shelters, which is chill as fuck.

Ah, that's actually decent, and about the max length I need. Added to my list of potential options if I don't feel like cheap.
