Strap width changes how a guitar feels after two hours on stage. Here is the practical width guide we share with OEM buyers.
2 inch (51mm). The classic width, balancing weight distribution and shoulder comfort. Ideal for most electric and acoustic players.
2.5 inch (64mm). Spreads weight over a larger shoulder area, best for heavy guitars, basses and long sets. Our Atelier leather straps are available in both widths.
3 inch (76mm). Found on premium padded straps, maximum comfort for touring musicians.
When sourcing, specify width, thickness and hardware finish. Our factory produces custom widths for OEM brands with full spec control.
