Guitar Straps

For heavier instruments such as solid mahogany single-cuts (e.g. Gibson Les Paul) or 4/5-string bass guitars, we recommend a 3-inch or 3.5-inch padded strap. The wider surface area distributes the instrument's weight across more of your shoulder and trapezius muscles, significantly reducing fatigue and neck strain during long rehearsals or gigs.

Yes, all premium leather and suede straps from brands like Levy's, RightOn!, DSL, and Fender use natural vegetable tanning or color-fast dyes that are safe for nitrocellulose lacquer. However, we advise against leaving vinyl/synthetic straps in prolonged contact with nitrocellulose guitars inside closed cases, as synthetic plasticizers can react with nitro finishes over long periods.

If your acoustic guitar only has an endpin jack on the bottom of the body, you can use an acoustic headstock strap button tie or quick-release loop. This attaches securely under the strings just behind the nut on the headstock without damaging the neck or requiring you to drill a new screw hole into the neck heel.

Yes. The leather pin ends of virtually all standard guitar straps can accommodate popular locking systems like Schaller S-Locks, Dunlop Straploks, or D'Addario Dual-Lock systems. You can browse our dedicated Strap Locks Collection for compatible hardware.
