Just read this thread and the consensus is pretty much what I thought myself.

A side question arising from a point made above: what's the best way of accommodating the strap (still attached to the guitar) in a hard case? Some cases fit the guitar snugly (which is sensible), but unless I remove the strap I find it difficult to get it in properly. Yes, I could remove the strap but doing that and re-attaching it is a pain each time.

The best way seems to me to have the strap under the back of the body, but then you get a 'bunch' of strap to accommodate between the neck and the gizmo box inside the case, which isn't always easy for a thick leather strap. Trying to fit the strap around the edge of the body seems difficult for a snug fitting case. If anyone has any brilliant suggestions (apart from simply removing the strap each time), I'd be interested. Btw the strap in question attaches to either end of the body, not from the bottom of the body to the head.

Hope the above makes some sort of sense!
