For several years I have used Neo-tech straps. I discovered them in a little music shop in Holland Michigan about 12 years ago. They are a wide, fully padded strap. lately, the wide strap was starting to cut into my neck, and I was constantly pulling it away from my neck. Why now, after all this time, who knows. but I thought I might like to try a thick pad, BUT with a thin strap. My PRS singlecut is only 6.5 oz, and my Heritage is 7.5 oz, so neither are heavy. So I was just googling around about straps, and I ran across a company called Walker &Williams out of Oxnard Ca. They have several different kinds of straps, thin, thick, long pads, thick pads, leather, suede, all kinds of options. so I ordered one a couple of weeks ago, and REALLY like it. so much so, that I ordered another, different from the first one, and liked that even more. so I think next month I’m going to order a 3rd one. I am super impressed with them. great quality, great prices, and super fast shipping. give them a look next time your looking for a strap.

I’ve bought 3 of them now, and like all of them. you have to read the descriptions well. there are 2 different lengths of pads, a few different widths of pads, and different materials for the back of the pads. some are suede and don’t slide, and some are smooth on the back and slide easy. Several differences in them, so read very carefully. They actually answer their phone when you call, and shipping is very fast. Brian, their in your area, Oxnard Ca.

Dave, will be interested in hearing your take on this. That looks like a lot of quality strap for not a lot of $.

I like the look of those "woven" vintage-style straps. It's a true classic look (which I'm currently getting in my Souldier straps, my current favorite). Very cool!

That looks very nice Dave. all of mine are the “skinny” straps with different variations of width and pads. let us know how you like it.

I meant to highlight the quote, 'They actually answer the phone when you call' It’s such a rarity anymore!

For years, I've primarily used plain black woven "seat belt" straps, and I'm kinda tired of them. Thanks for the lead Martin!

FWIW, I have a few of these and they are nice. Hemp backing option is worth the $10 upgrade. Kind of expensive, but they are very well executed. nativesonsgoods.com
