Comfortable, weight-minimizing strap!

I bought this for use with a bass guitar. I've previously used Levy's 3.25" neoprene straps, which are very comfortable & actually make a bass feel lighter. The 2 straps are very similar, (this one slightly thinner) but I was curious to try one of these because of the strap-locking feature. It costs a bit less than the Levy's, too! I shortened mine to the shortest length possible, as I like to wear my bass rather high on my chest. The strap-lock function works pretty well, but does rub a bit against the horn of the bass when moving around.

Works OK for some guitars and not very well for others

Before you commit to this strap, make sure that it will be compatible with your guitar. It should work with guitars that have a strap button on a horn like a Strat, or on the side of the body where the strap button is facing to the side pointing towards your headstock like a Les Paul or Telecaster. It will not work well with guitars that have a strap button on the neck heel or back where the button is facing backwards towards you. That includes guitars like SGs, ES-335s, Explorers, etc. The strap ends are too chunky and you can't flip them over and slide them over the button from the reverse side. You will have a twist in your strap if you try to use this with guitars that have the latter strap button orientation and that can be very uncomfortable. Another design issue is that the ends slide on and off some buttons very tightly and require enough effort that you start to worry you will be ripping your strap button out of the wood or at a minimum, loosening the button or rubbing the finish off your guitar. Maybe they will ease up a little over time with use. On the plus side, the padding with the strap is very comfortable. I have the 3" wide version and it distributes the weight fairly well. It may be a bit on the long side for some guitars with the button on the top horn, depending on how tall you are and how far down you prefer the guitar to hang while playing. If the stores weren't all closed down now and I could return the strap to a store without paying return shipping, I would have done that already. I would not buy it again. The concept is good but poorly executed. I have another much cheaper strap with simpler flat plastic locking ends that has worked for years with no issues and is compatible with all guitars and button types. The only problem is that it is a thin 2" cloth strap and doesn't have the nice padding that this one does so I thought this would be an upgrade.

    Using the strap for a bass guitar and loved it until the plastic locking mechanism broke. I play sitting down and the clip will come off the button. Waiting to hear from customer support if they will honor the warranty. I do like the strap but will be extra careful in the future when snapping into place.

  • So much easier than traditional strap locks

    This strap is comfortable and is simple to use. I've never had one let go of my basses yet and I don't exactly stand still being in 3 different hard rock bands. I would recommend this strap to anyone.

    I bought this strap because I wanted comfort for my shoulder when playing guitar. It didn't disappoint! The soft material gives a cushy feel. It was a bit difficult to snap the guitar on the hard plastic snaps but I love this strap.
