Putting buttons and pins on your guitar strap: C or D?

Message Bookmarked

I put a pin on my guitar strap and the pin has nothing to do with any band or have a funny saying. It's just a pin my uncle gave me when he went to France. It's antique and it's very pretty. It looks wery nice on my guitar strap. It was hard to get on because 1) The strap is kind of thick and 2) I was acting like a perfectionist, trying to get it perfectly straight and in the middle.

That sounds like a better than usual reason to put a pin on a guitar strap, but I sort of like that look anyway.

It's not as cool as putting stickers on your tuba.

Oh now that's cool.

What kinds of stickers?

I've got a sticker of Andrew Scott from Sloan on my guitar. No strap, though.

as long as the strap is a rainbow strap then classic.

One guitar strap I have has a leopard print and the other one looks like police tape.

i don't, as they don't make straps for drums.

Ahh! You're so lucky! Drums RULE!!

Why don't you draw something on one of the heads?

Classic because if my borhter didn't do this I wouldn't have anything to fix my coat with.

People still play guitar?

Bass Rules too!!

I just don't like the basses that look too much like gutars. I like Fender basses.

Yes people play guitar. I know, it's not many people.

I say classic. I've always loved that LBJ button Nanci Griffith has on her guitar strap.

what about stickers on the body of the guitar? There are a number of criteria for this.

If it's an acoustic: dud

If it's an electric, and there is only one sticker with the name of a good band or at least something clever/random on it: classic

If it's completely covered in stickers: dud

I agree with that. I don't want to stick any stickers on my guitars though. I'd have to buy a good sounding and looking guitar with a color I don't like first

I say always dud on guitar stickers. If it's just one jokey sticker and the joke isn't that funny -- it usually isn't -- then you have to wonder why you uglified your guitar. If it's a "message" sticker, why bother? You've already got a stage and a microphone.

For a further glimpse into the yawns that guitar stickers can produce, the Goo Goo Dolls have helpfully catalogued their own on their web site.

Pins AND buttons? You mean, like, clothes pins?
