Straps

Whether you're honing your guitar talents at home or on stage in front of thousands of screaming fans, you know how hard it is to stay still when you're playing your favorite songs. The simple truth is that for some guitarists, sitting down is not an option - and for these lively musicians, a strap is not only a convenient accessory to own - it's an essential one. Throughout this section, you'll find a seemingly endless array of straps for guitars, as well as other for stringed instruments like basses, banjos and mandolins. While personal comfort is the most significant factor when choosing a strap, it's also important to consider your own unique style. For example, if you're after something that's edgy and lets everyone know you're ready for battle, look no further than Levy's Boot Leather Guitar Strap with Metal Bullets. Like its name suggests, this strap is crafted with high-quality boot leather and features killer metal bullets to match your aggressive playing skills. Or, if it's an innovative and super-comfy bass strap that you want, check out the Neotech Mega Bass Strap. This model features a weight-reduction system and a long neoprene pad with a patented control-stretch system that gives you extra cushioning across your back and shoulder. In other words, the Neotech Mega Bass Strap is a best seller for obvious reasons. As mentioned, this selection also has straps for traditional instruments like the banjo and mandolin. The Perri's 2-1/2" Leather Banjo Strap has plastic swivel hooks on each end to ensure solid attachment to your banjo, while the high-quality leather strap itself is fully adjustable from 45" to 52". As for mandolinists, try the LM Products Glove Leather Mandolin Strap. This top-rated strap is made of soft linked glove leather - so you can enjoy playing your mandolin comfortably for countless hours. You've most likely realized by now that you're definitely in the right place for a new instrument strap. From Planet Waves and Perri's to Levy's and D'Addario, these companies have excellent reputations for the quality of their straps and they can all be found in this catalog. Making music is supposed to be an enjoyable experience after all, and having a strap that reflects your own tastes will inspire you to pick up your instrument more often.
