Anybody have any strap examples for BMM or shell pink guitars?

I'm having trouble picking straps for mine.
If I can't get a strap to match the body, I try to match the pickguard

Skinny straps for sure. And white is about the only other colour I could imagine going with :D

I tried a skinny leather strap on my acoustic and I just couldn't get used to it. It felt wrong.

they're surprisingly strong!
Even a flimsy feeling one i have by fender has been my main strap at home for 7+ years.

It wasn't the strength of it, I think I'm just used to the standard width strap, and that combined with me being a bigger dude, it was just weird.

I've got other ones that I feel are really well matched, but those projects are in a state of incompletion right now, so I'll post them when they're done ;)

Thanks Sal!! I'm actually about redo a small bit of the wiring and put a satin clearcoat on the body just to protect the wood a bit. I will post some pictures once it's truly, finally finished.

Here’s my Singing Crane. They’re made from old kimonos.

It came with this amazing packaging!

Thank you! I find myself playing my 335 more these days, but every time I pick up the Coro, I'm like... "why aren't I playing this more??" It's still my primary recording guitar though.
