If you've been looking for Christian guitar straps, you'll find plenty of resources right here.

LM Christian Strap

A guitar strap gives you better control over your instrument so you can play freely while you stand, and this is basically its sole function. Just attach it to the pegs on your guitar, slip it over your neck and shoulder and you're ready to play. One strap is just about as good as the next as long as it fits well, is comfortable, stays attached to your guitar and does its job. What really makes one strap distinctive from another is the way it looks. Some straps are very utilitarian, while others have been made with care to make them look attractive.

Christian guitar straps fall into the latter category. They're decorated with different icons of faith, including doves, fish, and crosses. They're made from assorted fabrics, including nylon and leather, and some are quite elaborately decorated. If you're a Christian music enthusiast, one of these straps might appeal to you.

You local music store, as well as some Christian book stores, may carry guitar straps featuring a Christian motif, but you can also find them at the following online retailers. Let's see what they have to offer.

GuitarStrapKing.com specializes in air-brushed designs, with a few embossed models and gold leaf designs as well. Each strap is 100 percent leather, and reasonably priced from $10.00 to $15.00. Every model is adjustable up to 52 inches, but you can add eight inch extension for about $7.00 more.

Their designs include:

• Jesus Fish: Jesus' name is shaped like the traditional Christian fish figure used by believers to identify themselves since Roman times. This strap features a repeating design of three for the Trinity. If you'd prefer something a little simpler, the site also offers a single fish design done in royal blue on leather.
• Heavenly Rainbow Covenant: This gold leaf design features the sun peeking out from behind the clouds as a rainbow stretches out over the flood waters in remembrance of God's promise to Noah never to flood the entire earth again.
• Golden Cross: This strap features a gold leaf cross and is available in black, brown or white leather.
• Radiant Dove: Long used as a symbol of the Holy Spirit, this dove is outlined in neon blue, with a hazy white halo effect around the entire design.

SunCreekMusic.com carries a large collection of guitar straps, including Christian designs manufactured by LM Products.

Choices include:

• Cross and Ivy: A tall white cross is woven in ivy. This leather strap is very popular, and at a price of about $15.00, it's difficult for Sun Creek to keep in stock. However, you can easily opt for the same design on a nylon strap for around $10.00.
• Cross with Clef: This strap is made of durable nylon with leather ends. It features an embroidered treble clef wrapped around a golden cross. It runs about $13.00.
• Purple and White Cross: If you're looking for something a little out of the ordinary, check out Sun Creek's purple nylon strap with radiant white cross. The design is reasonably priced at $10.00.
• Cross: The name of this model is deceptively simply for such a beautiful and intricate design. This combination leather and nylon strap features a colorful design of a cross bearing the shadow of the crucified Christ with radiant arms of the Holy Spirit reaching out to receive him. This is one of Sun Creek's more expensive straps at a price of $22.00.

The result is a truly beautiful strap like none you've probably ever seen before. Heartwoodes straps are available in mahogany, rosewood or chocolate rosewood, and the design finishes come in your choice of gold, silver or pearl. These straps are rather expensive at $72.50 each, but they are like works of art.

Christian motifs include:

• Cross
