    Default Strap for electric?

    I'm looking for advice on a comfortable padded strap for my 4-lb. solid-body electric. Standard straps work fine on my acoustics, but I need something for the electric that won't dig into my shoulder. I don't care how it looks or what it's made of.

    No DIY suggestions, please. I'm not at all handy, and just want to buy something.

    Maybe try some guitar straps? Would make sense since electrics are quite a bit heavier than acoustics.

    I have been using a Fender tweed guitar strap on my JBovier for many years and find it very comfortable.
