Does this guitar strap really sound better?

Thoughts?

Any guitar strap which comes with an instruction manual is too technical for me. ?

pretty sure auto-lock straps are illegal in 15 states in the US. ?

I miss interpreted the title of this thread, and wanted to reply, "I've tried several straps, my guitar sounds the same"?

You did not misinterpret. Do they really all sound the same though?

in the late 70's i had a really stiff leather strap, and the Ibanez Artist electric vibrations swelled in me. in the late 80's i had a ZZ Top spinner strap set up, and it tickled by belly button. for my bass though, i always had a soft wide canvas strap that left me without vibration. so the bass had more of the vibrations left to the strings.

whereas the guitar was leaving the strings and entering my body. however, having a chain of BOSS effects mitigated any impact from the straps.

I have never noticed a strap changing the sound of my guitars. I may try recording with different straps, to see if that makes a difference. I will have to wait till after the 1st of August, all of my studio time now is preparing for my next gig.
