It's funny you mentioned used straps because that's what I own too. The older the leather the better it feels. If I borrow a friend's guitar it's just not the same because it doesn't have my strap on it.

Hope this helps!

that same goes with me too..leather straps are more comfortable and not really that heavy .. i mean the weight as what you've mention above..

well i guess you're kind of used to your straps and its understandable since i feel the same way too..kind of an awkward feeling ..

I use the standard guitar strap for electric guitars whether I'm using an acoustic or not. They're really strong you know.

For quality Straps in a variety of styles, Levy's is the go to manufacturer. They have everything from glitzy to basic black utilitarian. I've been using a 3 1/2" wide black Levy's strap for six years with no visible signs of wear, and I have a cool retro-looking strap with a sliding pad that's perfect for my Hofner Icon bass. Figure on spending anywhere from $40-$60 for leather.
