Seesquare may have more to say on that... |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I own more straps than guitars... But they are mostly just functional.
I do have a bunch of Orange Flame straps to go with Flame Guitars. 
Then I got a bunch of Leather Straps for $2.99!
(these are only 50" long, so they are kinda short... and it may be a limited time offer)
So I won't be needing to buy any straps for a while.

Location: Texas | I'm not addicted, but I have acquired quite a few in my quest to find the ultimate strap. From my point-of-view, this is the closest you'll find to a "perfect" guitar strap, they're extremely comfortable (even with a heavier guitar), durable, and affordable thanks to LostArtVintage:

Moody Leatherworks
Moody's backless chaps are selling well in Northern California. (It's a good thing too, as the P.I. business has been a little slow) |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Bought a '62 Jag about eight years ago from the original owner's widow and discovered an unused vintage strap in the case with padding on the shoulder pad that even the mice and moths hadn't gotten to. These are the skinny straps with Fender embossed on the buckle. I then went on a hunt for a few more and actually scored a few originals as well as a few new reissues. Why I needed a half dozen of them is now totally beyond me. My all-time favorite strap is actually an Ace camera strap to which I've added leather ends. I've owned it for many years and use it with straplocks on all my SSBs and EA6 Vipers. The Long Hollow straps are also very nice once they've been broken in. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I bought 5 of the real nice exotic wood straps originally made for Levi, and no longer sold by them. Apparently they were a bit expensive for the average guitar player, but they were a nice distraction from GAS for me at the time. For a long time the guy who makes them had problems getting the woods, but now he's back in action and they are available. Here's a link to the site... http://therevonation.com/ ...Check them out! (:
