It could go down in value
The most expensive guitar strap that I recall seeing is on sale with $50...

It's currently $200 - and that's on sale. That's fucking crazy. I've bought custom guitar straps for a quarter of that cost - less than 25% of the cost, even.
I like to get straps on clearance for a dollar a piece.
It won't. It's an ultra-rare Martin. There's only one direction the value will go, and that's up.
I'm 99.999% confident.
I don't find it all that aesthetically appealing
I hope it (the expensive guitar from Martin) looks better in person than it does in pictures. But, even if it doesn't, it's very likely to only increase in value. The kind of people who buy stuff like that are mostly interested in maintaining the value and increasing its worth.
As for guitar straps, there's no fucking way that I'm spending $200 on a guitar strap. Nope... I may spend a bit, like $50, on one if I like it and if I'll be using it for performances. Other than that, I'm pretty much like you - except I spend more than a buck. I pay more like $15. 'cause I like it to have some padding.
Oh, remember the luthier on YouTube? He'd like your snake guitar. He likes it when people personalize their guitars in artistic ways.
Finally, today is Friday. I did the past couple of threads. If you can get the thread, that'd be awesome. If not, that'd be slightly less awesome and I'll get it myself.
