The strap is the first accessory most players upgrade. Material changes comfort, durability and price. Here is a practical comparison.
Leather straps
Premium feel, molds to the shoulder, looks better with age. Heavier and pricier. Genuine leather straps from our factory are padded and stitched for heavy guitars.
Nylon straps
Strong, cheap, colorful. Can feel slippery on the shoulder and digs in on heavy basses. Great for budget lines.
Polyester/canvas straps
Softer than nylon, more comfortable, still affordable. The standard choice for mid-range straps and custom printed designs.
