Poll: Is it wrong to...

[Mr Grumpy]

...put a Gibson strap on a Fender-style guitar?

Will it somehow upset the guitar Gods, so that the tele falls off its stand and the headstock breaks?

I ask because I only have one free strap at home (and I like the same style strap on my SG), so it's convenient.

 

[eSGEe]

I have put Gibson STRINGS on a Fender guitar and Fender Strings on a Gibson Guitar ..........so ..........................the Cosmos will be fine, though I did that at the start of 2020....................................

Yes it's wrong. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated. You are hereby suspended without pay pending further investigation.

Nah you're fine lol early on i had a nice gibson strap i used on literally anything including a Tele. Like Adrian said, id use Fender Bullet strings on an SG and Gibson Vintage Strings on a Tele lol these days. The Tele has its own strap and then i have one for the Gibsons i share but thats only because I use strap locks and the strap mount layout on the Tele is different than the Gibsons

This is not a shock to me; it's all your fault!

Has any telecaster ever suffered a broken headstock? If me dog kicks the tele off its stand and it snaps in two then we will know you are right (I'm kinda expecting that Gibson curse to occur).

I'm going with you on this one. Then, as I have no unused Grolsch strap-locks in the house, the next question is: am I pushing my luck by tightly winding elastic bands around the strap pins?

Elastic bands around the strap knobs huh? Inventive!

They'll go hard/old and break, but maybe for a few days/a week before I get a couple of bottles of Grolsch they'll do the job. I hope.

Get a shoe lace, if you cant buy new strap problem solved

In all honesty, dose not matter what guitar strap you have, all it matters what you do with it.

Lmao that was filmed on his birthday at Hampton Coliseum in Virginia. There's a dude walking around there to this day, with a Tele shaped cutaway dented into his forehead probably

That hurts! I mostly buy stuff because I'm a crap player... (Of course, you are right.)

Sorry brother I don't mean it harsh way, my intention was, not to worry about the strap and play the guitar.

I know, I'm British too, so I was only playing around... Of course, I should practice more. I saw that fella Jared something something today, a blues player who has an Epi signature LP custom, but just a P90 like a Junior, and he was quite inspiring. Never seen him before, but I wanna practice more now - I just hope my strap doesn't break in the process!

It's fine.


(That's a fiver you owe me)

I’m thinking one of two things. Either the value of the Fender will go up with a strap that says Gibson. Or the value of the strap will increase due to a Fender hanging from it. Just depends on your orientation.
