This is a very good nicely wide guitar strap. Its weathered look is exactly what I was looking for. Its a nice solid piece of leather that looks like it will last decades. That is what I wanted but that is also why I got it weathered - to speed up about 5 years of personality. I'm not sure how you would wear it out really. Its buttery soft and doesn't have a strange fabric suede backing so it won't muck up your clothes, pill or crumble.

The only minus is that its a standard 53 inches though the description says its "long". Pretty standard vs all other straps.

I paired this with my reissue Fender Telecaster Thinline in natural. It looks wonderful. I can barely feel the weight of the guitar wearing it.

Update: Since I got the strap as a Christmas gift I've worn it to class and jam sessions. I started getting nice compliments about the guitar. Thought the guitar IS beautiful I've had it for a while. I think this strap is like a fine piece of jewelry accenting the guitar! Beauty and Function.

This guitar strap is wide and well made of good quality leather.Just what I needed.I am very happy with it and thank you. Rich B.

I've been looking around for a leather strap for the past few months now, and this is the winner. If you have a favorite leather belt you've been wearing non-stop for years, it probably looks exactly like this strap. Really classy, worn in look. The leather is a little stiff (and not padded), so if you're bony like me, be ready for a couple weeks of discomfort before it gets nice and supple. On the plus side, it's WAY cheaper than other leather straps out there (Levy Leathers, etc.) and looks better too. Straplocks installed easily, and now this perfectly complements my yellow PRS Santana. Keep Playing!

PS: Don't give an item a bad rating because you didn't pay attention to what you were buying.

Took a month to arrive, seller didn't respond to e-mail, and when it finally arrived it was a huge disappointment. It's a 3" hard leather strap for the price a good suede or glove leather strap. No padding, to call it "basic" would be overly flattering. It's hard to screw up a strap, but these guys managed it.

Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Very nice leather strap, I will like it better when it is worn in, and softer, but excellent for holding the weight of a five string bass.
I very much recommend it, along with some Dunlop straploks.
