Strap pads spread the weight of the guitar across the shoulder. They are simple accessories with a real comfort payoff.
Why they help
Heavy guitars (10-12 lb) dig into the shoulder on narrow straps. A pad spreads the load and reduces fatigue in long sets.
Types
- Foam pads: cheap, basic comfort.
- Leather pads: premium look, grippy.
- Fabric pads: breathable, colorful.
- Built-in pads: on wide straps already.
What to check
- Width matches your strap (2-3 in).
- Attachment — loop or clip, stays put.
- Material — non-slip on the shoulder.
We make strap pads to match any strap. Browse straps and pads or order custom.
