| What is a good strap that does not bother the neck and shoulder for a dobro. |

Webb Straps from Virginia are very good.

| Webb straps are the only way to go. Tried all the others and the Webb is the best. Easiest to get on/off the instrument, stays put when you play and they are comfortable. |

| Hey Lyle, a great solution is the little luggage-type gizmo from Dimarzio ( a couple of other distributors also make one) that clips onto any regular guitar strap, has a string part for around the headstock of your reso, and you just clip or unclip the strap, leaving the string part attached. Simple, cheap, works great. |

| I don't know about where to get the DiMarzio gadget, but Webb straps are available from Paul Beard's Resophonic Outfitters. I think there is a link on the manufacturers section of the forum or you can just type in www.beardguitars.com |

Check out the straps in the First Quality Musical Supplies catalog. They're leather, come in Black, Brown, or Burgundy. The brand is Levy's. And the price is only $19.95. I bought one for each of my Dobro's and really like them. You can contact the company at (800) 635-2021 or on the web at: www.fqms.com I also bought a Sheerhorn and a Beard capo from them at a good price.

| Man, I've seen those clip-lock things EVERYWHERE, around $4.75- and work with any guitar strap. They lengthen the strap by 6-8" which seems to be just perfect for reso use. Why pay big $ ? |
