Strap Recommendation

Bill, what did Mike Marshall have to say in response to your God and Bill Monroe comment? (Aren't they the same person? )

He smiled. Laughed a little. He's a very amusing guy with a good sense of humor.

FYI, the Longhollow Big Softy works for an A5, but when you put it on an F5, the wide soft part lands in the middle of your back instead of on your shoulder. As they say in software, it's not a bug, it's a feature.

This seems like a YMMV thing. Hasn't been the case for me on the Eastman 515. Currently have Longhollow straps on the Rigel A (this was actually Rigel branded), the 515, and the El Rey. Previously used one on the Washburn Jethro Burns F-5 without any issues.

A double thumbs up for the Sully's straps. I have them on both of my mandolins and gave one to my dad for his. Only strap I'll ever need.

I'm partial to these, as well: https://www.levysleathers.com/produc...rap-m19pr-blk/

Lakota makes a great strap. Super comfy, not too bulky. I've been using it for about two years now. I did have a minor issue with the leather on the end of the strap stretching and slipping off the button a few times, but I was able to fix that by just soaking it in water and drying it off with some heat from a blow dryer.

Sulley's Straps are great! After buying several I ordered one from Sulley for my Gibson F5. Great workmanship and fast delivery for a strap built to my measurements.

Another vote for Lakota. I've found both the product and support to be top quality. I like the fact that I get a great product and the money spent actually helps the tribe.
