I was talking to a friend at NAMM last year about how his heavy Les Paul was hurting his neck and shoulder during his performances; playing 3 hours a night for 4 nights a week. He described it as bearable but the thing that really annoyed him was the fact that his vinyl strap was seriously uncomfortable. This wasn’t the first time we’ve heard a complaint or two about comfort during a 20 minute rendition of Led Zeppelin’s Moby Dick so we decided to create a superior and ultra comfortable guitar strap.

I just saw this leave-a-comment, get-a-guitar strap post on Consumerist…if you’re for real, my husband would love to have one for his Les Paul!
Oliver says:
I came right over from consumerist! I could use a new strap, that’s for sure!
Jared Forshey says:
Came here from Consumerist… I’m guessing that comments are being held back to keep them coming in even though the 40 have been surpassed an hour ago??
Rich says:
Sweet strap.
I came here from Consumerist.
Simon Lem says:
Hi. I’ve just happened on your site from The Consumerist.
I’d like one of these straps as my Yamaha gets somewhat heavy when I practice my riffs (when I get time to).
Great site BTW!
Dan Hetrick says:
So, I heard a rumor (from the Consumerist, http://consumerist.com) that the first 40 people to comment on this blog get a free guitar strap. Am I one of the first 40?
Anyway, the strap looks really, really nice!
c. lantz says:
sounds solid.
Juan Nieves says:
That is a sweet strap! It looks so comfy…
Saw this post while reading consumerist.
Jimmy says:
I found you via Consumerist. I would really be grateful for a new strap! You guys rock for doing this.
ron says:
cool guitar strap, I saw it on the consumerist.com
Angela says:
The thing I hate most is when I get the super uncomfortable red mark/burn on my shoulder after practicing. Would love to try one of these new guitar straps, they seriously sound like butter.
Wes says:
My current strap has too much duct tape on it, I would love one of these! ps I came from consumerist
Doug Joseph says:
The guitar straps that I own really suck after playing for about an hour: it digs into my shoulder. I’m willing to try anything.
-Doug
MJF says:
looks very interesting, could use a new strap since i havent bought one in years.
Jimmy says:
I found you via Consumerist. I would really be grateful for a new strap! My old faithful (super cheap, but has been good to me since I was a teenager) has been mended by my wife so many times I’m not sure she can fix it again. You guys rock for doing this.
Paul says:
I saw a note about this on The Consumerist, and thought I’d check it out. Looks like a great strap!
Scott says:
Nice looking strap. I like the pin-striping and everything’s always better when it’s free.
Ah Pook says:
Great Idea! Something to make playing the old Doubleneck a lot more comfortable!
Thanks guys… and thanks Consumerist, who sent me…
Kevin S says:
Why I might want one? Besides the intriguing possibility of being able to feel like I am encapulated in pillows while everyone else thinks I’m walking around like everyon else….I’d like to have one for my 12 year old nephew who has taken up the guitar. He’s on YouTube but I will refrain from linking to it here without his permission!
-Kevin
Josh says:
Man, that strap looks comfortable. That will go well with my fender acoustic that’s heavy as a son of a gun.
mike says:
The world need great guitar straps!- well guitars do anyways.
Some leather straps are too stiff, and might cut the side of you neck/collarbone. Some nylon straps won’t support a neck heavy guitar.
I look forward to trying one of the new merino wool straps.
Mike
Zach says:
I’m not yet good enough to play Moby Dick but I know how much a good guitar strap helps. I just recently started practicing at home standing rather than sitting with my bass as I always had, and it wears on your shoulder. I would love to have such a comfortable looking strap to practice with!
Johhny Villao says:
Hello all,
Thanks to Reunion Blues for the blogsite. I too complain about the weight after standing a couple of hours.
Johnny
Jack says:
This strap looks like it may help my neck and
back also! Would love to try one.
jme27 says:
Looks like a very comfortable strap! Hopefully I can give it a try!
Kelvin Lee says:
I’ve tried nylon. I’ve tried leather. Never wool. Not sure how it feels. I had actually cut off the padding from backpacks straps and stuck them behind the strap just to see if it makes a difference. Anyway, can’t wait to see if the Merino Wool Guitar Strap will make a difference. Thanks to Consumerist for the heads up.
Sean says:
Wow…this looks great. Sometimes I play for 6 hours straight and my current strap is so abrasive and leaves marks (sometimes bruises) on my sensitive skin. I’d love to give this a try.
todd says:
Always looking for a more comfortable strap! Can I have one?
Jason says:
Found this site by way of consumerist.com. Very nice products!
Dave says:
Wow, these sure look comfortable. Just the thing I need to help alleviate neck pain.
I play about 6 hrs a week just practicing for playing in the worship band @ church for 2 hrs.
Curtis says:
If there’s one accessory I’ve never been happy with, it’s a guitar strap. I can never find a comfortable one that looks decent. Nylon?? Cuts my shoulder. Leather?? I find leather too heavy. Hello Kitty?? I ain’t Lisa Loeb =P
From your description and reviews Merino’s strap looks promising. Merino’s strap looks like the one I’ve been looking to replace all my straps. My crappy ones I can give to my friends. They can use them for Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
-Curtis.
Shout out to Consumerist.com, where I found out of about Reunionblues.com.
Marc says:
Came here from the Consumerist to check out the guitar strap.
Very cool!
Trent Conyers says:
That strap looks awesome. The one I currently use for my bass really makes my back ache after a show. Anyway, I’d love to try it out!!
Leah says:
Hey guys, just wanted to say great blog! I’ll be spreading the word w/ musicians in my town!
Docrimbo says:
Whoo hoo! Thanks, Consumerist!
Max says:
I think this strap looks awesome! Nice site.
I came here from Consumerist.com.
Patrick Wilson says:
I would like to try one of these straps. Am I one of the first 40? I’d love a free one!
Consumerist brought me here.
ian says:
That’s one honey of a strap. I saw a post on Consumerist that you guys were handing a few out, I’m sure that one of those would make my LP feel a little better.
Aaron says:
This is just what I need! I was looking for a new strap yesterday, and this looks great!
melvyn brown says:
oh man, these sound so great, and i’d love to try one! my tele gets heavy after a couple of hours of playing, and it’d be great not to feel like i’ve pinched a nerve after a marathon rehearsal.
Blee says:
Hey! I’ve been wanting to get a strap for my guitar for a long time. Just didn’t have time to.
Mine is so worn out!!! I deserve one!
I want a free strap!
Oh and I came from consumerist.
Daniel E says:
Hey! This is a great looking guitar strap, I really like it. I’ve played bass for a year or so, and am just now getting into guitar. I’d love to have such a good strap for my new toy
ken n says:
i want a strap to hold my guitar. i can’t play standing up
. this seems interesting.
Jack says:
I wouldn’t say I play as much your buddy at NAMM but I’ve always had 2 major problems with any strap I’ve ever tried. #1: They are seriously irritating especially when you get a little sweaty. #2: Sometimes if I’m moving around a lot the vinyl straps pinch the skin on my shoulders. Not a huge deal but it seems like the wool strap might just alleviate both of those problems. Seems like a pretty cool product.
Chris says:
That sounds really nice actually. The wool likely won’t dig into my big ol’ meaty shoulder nearly as much as vinyl does.
Thanks to the Consumerist for pointing me this way!
Chris Molina says:
That looks like a very nice guitar strap
JP says:
Saw your site mentioned over at the consumerist, and I headed over to check it out. Not only does that strap look super comfy, it’s super cool, and I’m sure it’s super tough. I’m just starting out, and I’d love a strap with the durability to last my many practice sessions, but comfy enough to keep my shoulder from aching the day after! Cheers, and awesome blog!
Stephanie Hays says:
OMG! Would love to have one of these for our guitar player – Chris Gabriel!
Stephanie
bigyaz says:
I have yet to find a guitar strap I’m really comfortable with for longer than half an hour. This looks like a great possibility. I’d love to give it a try.
Thanks,
Bob
Andy says:
That strap has got to be more comfortable than the crummy one I’m using, and it looks sharp too!
David says:
This looks like a very nice strap. I want it so that I can hold my guitar more comfortably. I’m have one of the first comments so I get a free strap? That is awesome!
Bryant Thomas says:
thats awful pretty lookin!
Rich Folk says:
This is great! Some electrics are crazy heavy and leather straps can get ruined by sweat and cut into your neck. It is about time some reinvents the guitar strap!
Chuck Huff says:
This really looks awesome. Sounds like it will make life much easier for anyone who plays a lot.
Mbprice says:
I’ve been playing the guitar on and off for a few years, but I’m finally in the swing of practicing and improving. That said, I don’t have a guitar strap, and it would be sort of nice to have one so my dreadnought isn’t constantly jabbing my ribs as I’m sitting. And comfortable you say? Well that’d just be the icing on the cake!
Matt says:
Looks very comfortable! I can’t wait to give them a try myself, thanks!
Sebastian says:
That strap looks badass, and comfortable? The strap that came with my fender is falling apart, uncomfortable, and looks horrible. A Merino wool strap looks business class. which is exactly what I want my music to be: business class. hook me up? please? btw, consumerist.com led me to you.
thanks.
Adrian says:
Wow, this looks nice. I play my acoustic guitar sitting down, but you’ve enticed me to try playing with a strap. Can I have one?
Cathy says:
Hey – I saw this on the Consumerist, and it looks like a pretty awesome product. I know a guitar player who would love one, and I’m looking forward to him trying it out.
Amanda says:
Sweet! My boyfriend would love one!
Dariush says:
I definitely would love to give this a try. Vinyl or leather straps are just weird if you are bumming around the house and play without a shirt on, and they easily get hung up on your shirt if you’re wearing one.
p.s. – The Consumerist sent me!
Mitch Slater says:
Wow, nice new blog. Can’t get enough guitar music
Emad says:
This looks very nice in the pics.
The synthetic ones I use now are very stiff – even after a year of use and just don’t really flex around properly. It could be the low quality materials on them though. I have a cheapo leather strap which lacks in terms of being adjustable. I can only adjust it in 2 inch increments and of course, I can’t re-adjust it depending on how I want to play.
tiki187 says:
I am going to be at Winter NAMM in January 09 displaying our percussion products and the new guitar line we have introduced to the US. I think that some our guitars would look even more handsome whilst adorning this fine strap, or two…
FYI. The Consumerist sent me.
Will says:
Sounds like a great strap! I was thinking I should pick one up to try it but whats this? A freebie! Sold! Best website ever!
Thanks TheConsumerist.com
Darren Cannella says:
I have several guitars; some basses and some heavier guitars. I’m always looking for a more comfortable strap. If there are still freebees available, I would love to get one and try it out.
Thank you in advance.
Matt H. says:
I have been using the same, cliched black strap for the last few years and while it has a pretty decent shoulder grooze worn into it, it is also wearing into my neck. Might be time to upgrade…
Andrew Stone says:
I would love one of these so that I can give my son my old strap, he’s two and he’s already trying to steal it for his guitar (yes, he really has a real one), and then we can both play for hours.
Aaron says:
I’d want one of those because not only does it sound like it’ll be a much more comfortable strap than I have, but it looks pretty stylish too!
mightydarv says:
Saw this on Consumerist, and the timing is excellent. I’m considering getting back into playing after a long lull, and the 10-11 pound chunk of wood that I love can be fairly wearing on my shoulder. I have a decent padded strap but I would love to try one that’s comfortable and feels more solid and secure.
Jamie says:
Hey yall! The consumerist sent me! Beautiful new blog and my bro is a rad guitarist!!!
Mark Beall says:
Looks like a nice strap. I hope I’m one of the first 40!
Jerome says:
I’ve been wanting a new strap for a while now… I’ll try this new (free) strap
Han says:
I could use a strap! I think using the merino wool will help prevent the “shaving” of my clothing from cheap straps. Why not use a merino wool strap on my merino wool sweater. They will go great hand in hand.
Jerome says:
I’ve been wanting a new strap for a while now. I’ll give this (free) strap a try.
meanmom says:
I want a strap for my son the “wannabe” Rock Star! Then I can be a “Coolmom” instead of a “Meanmom”! LOL! Coming at ya from “The Consumerist!”
Mark Moore says:
I’ll take one! Thanks.
Jeff says:
Awesome. You rock. Perfect for my new axe.
Paul C says:
Looks pretty good. I was thinking of getting one since the only strap I got is a free no-name one when I got my guitar.
Site: Consumerist
Bobby says:
I was directed here by the consumerist…
While I may have stopped by for the guitar strap promo (seriously, a good, free guitar strap? How could I pass up? I’ve been living off my cheap and crappy nylon one for far too long!), I really enjoyed the article about busking. I’ve yet to fully commit to actually go out onto the streets and play, but as soon as I get a bit a more confident about my playing and my voice, I’ll make the trek.
cbellamy says:
I think this would be fantastic! I have a nylon guitar strap now and it’s the main point of discomfort while playing for a long time.
Randy Rose says:
Well, as a bass player, I often stand on stage with the heaviest instrument in the band! I have a great looking strap I use most often, but it is made of that tough nylon material that offers little movement, and quite frankly, can really start to dig into the shoulder muscle (not that there is any muscle in my shoulders, anyway!) The black and white stripes of the Merino Wool strap would look very sharp with my black and white American Fender Jazz bass… just sayin’.
eugene says:
nice, i was just looking into straps this week.
Randy Rose says:
btw – I got here from The Consumerist and I must say, this blog is pretty awesome. Keep up the good work fellas!
Alex says:
Vinyl guitar straps kill! Even woven ones can dig. My boyfriend has this really nice one lined with red fake fur (very glam, very sexy) but he wont let me touch it!
TJ says:
That looks so cool!
Why do i need one?
Becasue trying to balance a guitar on your leg while playing casue the strap you have hurts your neck and shoulder get’s old in a hurry.
Mike says:
Sounds like you put a lot of good work into these! I’d love to check one out!
Chris says:
it does look mighty fine comfy. i’ve never been one for guitar straps before, but maybe I might be now…
oh, and the consumerist sent me.
Brent Fontana says:
Hey This strap looks really amazing. I saw this link from the consumerist, and came rigth ove4r and Glad I did.
Cheer
Brent
Nick Kopco says:
These straps sound like they could be really good. They say they’re more comfortable than vinyl and good for extensive playing…should be a nice compliment to long sets with my big heavy 6 string bass. And I get one for free?? Shizam! I’ll leave a review after I try it out!
BTW I was referred here by consumerist.com.
Mathew Halpern says:
That sounds awesome, how do I get the free one?
Patrick says:
Hello, I just saw a link to this post on the Consumerist. That is an awesome looking strap. I feel kind of dirty typing that, I don’t know why.
Rob Jewell says:
Wow it is because of bad straps that I have always preferred to sit down while playing and dreaded times when I would have to “strap-up”. I am glad to see that someone had taken the initiative to make a more comfortable strap.
Cam Stewart says:
Hey, that looks like a nice guitar strap, really classy looking.
Love the posts, keep up the good work!
Cam
adam barnett says:
Interesting and long overdue idea. I have cut down on playing due to a host of back and arm problems (degenerative disk disease in my back, osteoarthritis in my hips and cubital/carpal tunnel in both arms). This may make it possible to pick it up again! Kudos!
Kelly Cummins says:
About time somebody decided to engineer a guitar strap for comfort and looks. Most straps are designed by fashionistas thus the masochist feel and the comfortable straps butt ugly. So I repeat my refrain of it’s about time someone engineered a comfortable, good looking and reasonablely priced strap!
Jim Adrian says:
I need a comfortable strap for my heavy ’91 Les Paul and this might just do the trick. Thanks consumerist.com
fastant says:
I’d love a free strap! It looks very comfortable.
Hector says:
Free strap maybe?
(from consumerist)
Marty Lawless says:
I have a band that might like them if the strap can deal with the wear and tear. I am curious to see how soft it is, since I have a sweater or two with merino and each feels different.
Dawn says:
Anything that doesn’t look like the giant padded “adult diaper” of a strap I currently wear would be a huge benefit!
David B says:
I really love the new blog. I’m glad Consumerist directed me this way!
Jason C. says:
I am a fan. I was looking for a new acoustic guitar strap and this is the one. It looks like a crazy combo of suspenders and racing stripes! Plus, come on, Merino Wool? How comfortable is that?! Nice.
Derek says:
Can I get one? I’m pretty sure I’m in the first 40
tuck says:
I’m definitely interested and it sounds comfy. They chaps over at consumerist mentioned this post, so I thought I’d check it out.
George says:
What a great idea for a guitar strap! My current strap cuts like a knife after an hour or so of playing. This strap would be a welcome relief.
Kevin says:
I’m not a huge fan of “loud” straps with crazy designs and intense colors, so I usually go with a straight black strap … This one is pretty appealing, though.
Maxwell says:
Hey guys, this seems like a pretty cool version of something that’s been annoying me for years! I’d love to try one out!
I came from the consumerist, by the way.
Victor says:
They do look comfortable, I have had merino wool made in socks and they felt great so I can only imagine them in a guitar strap.
PS: The Consumerist sent me.
Victor Stoupakis says:
I would love to get one of these!!
rob says:
As a fan of heavy Gibson guitars, I have been searching for a good strap for a long time. This strap looks like it may be the solution I have been looking for.
So did I read this correctly? Are you really giving away free straps just for leaving a comment here?
Jan Dervish says:
Hey! sweet looking guitar strap. I just got a new guitar and it came with a awful pleather one so this looks nice!
-Jan
-PS: Came from consumerist!
Dave says:
That looks like a comfy strap. I can relate to the issue of strap cutting into your shoulder. I saw this first on the consumerist
Scott says:
That sounds like it would be very comfortable strap. The Consumerist sent me this way.
Bill says:
That looks like a great strap, I’d like to try it out!
George says:
I play upright bass in my current band, so I haven’t used a strap in a while, but my P-Bass I play in church on Sundays gets heavy after a few songs. This looks better than the cheapo straps I normally use! Although the Francis+Pillows idea sounds good too.
Found you on the consumerist
Megan Clancy says:
This looks very comfortable! Much more so than my heavy leather strap.
Suhrud says:
I have been learning guitar for the past 6 months and from personal experience, I definitely agree on how uncomfortable the strap can become over an hour.I’d definitely like to try this out to see how much it helps.
Jan says:
Cool looking strap, might be just the ticket for my old acoustic!
Seth says:
Nice gearblog!
Sent by consumerist.com btw.
Mike Ortega says:
Guys, love the new blog. I’m not a guitarist (always wanted to be) but my son is beginning to take a great interest in playing the real thing stemming from playing Guitar Hero III funny enough. (saw your other article below) So as far as the strap goes, I would love to surprise him with one for his new axe we’re getting him for Christmas
I’ll definately keep you on my blogroll!
Carleton says:
Looks like a very nice strap.

Mr. G says:
Wow. Looks comfy! I want a black one for my Strat and a red one for my SG! When I’m really jammin my nylon strap can cut into my neck, so this looks like a great alternative.
Chris Earls says:
Strap looks sweet!
Russell says:
Why might I want one of these straps? Entirely because the sounds so comfortable. It also sounds like less irritation when I rock out with no shirt.
Anders says:
This looks quite nice, I can’t wait to try it.
(from Consumerist)
Matt says:
Looks like an awesome strap. I hate how uncomfortable and stiff my strap gets.
TylerE says:
Love to have one of these to try out on my six string fretless bass, which I honestly don’t play as much as I should because of how much the thing weighs.
Mike says:
This sounds great !!! A Gibson Les Paul is definitely one of the heavier guitars out there…this would be quite a welcome addition to a long 3 sets of playing…
Jeremy says:
Any takers yet?
Axman says:
looks hot! Via consumerist
Nate says:
I love me some guitar strap action. Comfortable straps really do make a difference.
staci says:
as a girl playing a gibson explorer, this strap would help a ton!
great idea cause the vinyl leaves a huge mark too!
Eric says:
Came from Consumerist. Free strap please!
Chris Wallace says:
I bought the new Metallica album, and I gotta say, it’s OK. Totally different from St. Anger. I want this new strap for my new tribute collection to this new album!
Thanks
J. Hansen says:
Because my shoulder hurts!
William says:
I need a new strap since I let my girlfriend borrow mine for an indefinite amount of time.
greg says:
I saw this on consumerist, that strap looks great, much nicer than my nylon one.
Shatz says:
I’ll take one, even though I don’t think my Les Paul is too heavy.
Bob Jewell says:
I just learned about your website from my son, and thought I would get in on the action too. That looks like quite the handsome strap.
Joe says:
I want to hook it up to my guitar hero guitar!
Thanks consumerist.
Dan Murphy says:
I know from experience just what you mean about the vinyl straps. After several hours, it feels like your swinging bricks! These wool one’s look frickin sweet! BTW, I found out about this place from The Consumerist.
zahuatl says:
I might want one of those straps because I’m getting old and my heavy Schecters are wearing down by brittle bones.
billy pitman says:
in my 30+ years of playing guitar standing up, i’ve tried everything up to and including the pillow encapsulation trick to ease the weight of hanging my guitar off of one shoulder. Bikram yoga is the only thing that has done anything to correct the pain in my back. could a Reunion Blues strap be what i’ve been missing? I would say yes if they are anywhere near the quality of the Reunion Blues gig bag i own.
Kevin Quang says:
Guitar straps have always killed my shoulder after about 30 minutes of playing while standing up. I’m anxious to give this one a try since it’s made out of soft material instead of nylon or leather.
Kevin Quang says:
oh yeah, i found your site through consumerist.com
Ryan L. says:
Hey cool strap. I would love to have one of the straps. I would look great with my black and white strat. Plus I’m sure it’s soft as all get out!
Jeff P says:
That’s a solid looking guitar strap. The stitching around the little button hole is a nice touch, that’s where mine always start to wear.
The Consumerist said to say hi.
King Brasso says:
I’ve been looking for a new strap for my Peavey!
King Brasso says:
My Peavey is heavy and I play lots of riff oriented music, which means lots of bouncing and jumping. My shoulder takes a beating and this looks VERY comfortable…
SarahWeird says:
The pinstripes are classy, sassy, and brassy!
I’m going to use it for both my real guitar and my Rock Band guitar. There’s no need to skimp on style just because you’re playing in front of a TV.
jason says:
WHOA!
Our band is going to start gigging soon and I have been looking for a new guitar strap – that one looks comfY!
I came here from Consumerist.
jason!
Patrick Sherren says:
O Rly? I play a LP and can admit that at times it does feel like my cross to bear. Anything that could make it a bit more comfortable (and less of a strain on the shoulder/neck) would be well appreciated.
On a side note I got directed here by Consumerist.com Seems like you’ve gotten their attention with this post.
Ian says:
Why do I want one? Well, truth be told I’m a bit of a wimp, and even a relatively light baja tele starts to hurt my shoulder after an hour or so.
Merlock says:
Definitely a nice strap going on. It would really relieve some pains of playing I’m sure…
Quite the good looking strap too!
Jordan says:
Consumerist told me to check this out. That is a sic strap.
Suhrud says:
not sure why my comment posted hours ago is still showing awaiting moderation while the other similar ones keep getting accepted????
Jeff says:
I know I’m not one of the first 40 and won’t be getting a free strap, but it does look very nice. One thing though… it’d be nice if you’d put a link for where to buy one in the blog post. I did some searching and found it on Musician’s Friend. From the comments it seems like a lot of people would be interested in buying the strap and it’d make it a lot easier for them to do so if there were a few links to some of your online dealers. I’m sure they would appreciate it too! Otherwise, good post!!
Vanessa Vincent says:
This guitar strap looks perfect me! Not only is it super hoss but it’s natural fiber and biodegradable??? gimme one! (nice article btw)

Hello Jeff
You are correct about including a link to our dealer locator in the future! We are in the process of creating a new Reunion Blues web site that will allow us to link you directly but, for now, you can do the following:
Click on “Dealers & Service” at the bottom of our home page. Then click on either “Buy Online” or on “Find Your Dealer” …and you’re there.
Thanks for asking!

I wrote as soon as I saw. I suppose I’m too late.

I saw the post on six-string soul. Strap looks marvelous!
Ritch says:
Guitarz told me to check you out. Is it too late?
Nice site though.
Jim85IROC says:
Just coming from the Guitarz blog and hoping that somehow I’m one of the first 4!
Either way, great looking strap.
Evan Cordes says:
Saw the story on Guitarz — would love one of your guitar strapz!
Gregor says:
Guitar blog sent me here to mention guitarz. And the strap is very handsome too. Thanks.
christian says:
Guitarz!!!!!!
Dana says:
Seen this on Six String Soul. Been looking for a new strap. Whatcha got?
platypibri says:
Hey, I read about you in Guitarz!!!! I’m a regularly gigging musician and I’d LOVE to play test the claim “Most comfortable guitar strap”. If it turns out to be true, I’ll buy 2 more. Maybe 3.
Jaimie says:
The good folks at Guitarz sent me and they were right…it IS an amazing guitar strap. Rock on.
Colby Hoffer says:
I read about your strap on guitarz. It looks very badass. I too play a Les Paul and my strap just isn’t cutting it. I’d love to have one of yours!
Rich R says:
Was informed of this via the Consumerist (wwww.consumerist.com). I was on guitar-playing hiatus for about 20 yrs. and recently returned. I bought an Epiphone Les Paul. After about 2 weeks of “catching up remembering” (relearning – intensely) I really did develop a pinched nerve. Required rest and pain meds. I’m back into it now and I think your strap could help mitigate the chances of another pinched nerve because it would allow me to play more comfortably and more relaxed.
If I don’t win one, I”ll likely seek one out to buy!
Thanks!
Guitar Blog, Forum | Six String Soul says:
Looks like a handful of us at SSS are going to get a new comfy strap. Let’s see if merino wool is all it’s cracked up to be.
Barry says:
Wow! Thank you very much! The strap is very comfortable, and makes my 10 lb. les paul bearable to play! Plus, it is exceedingly sharp looking! I’ll be ordering more of ‘em!
Bart says:
Well, I bought one at Guitar Center for $44 bucks. I like the feel of the wool and the overall fit and finish is excellent.
One problem I have is I can’t seem to get enough it short enough. I’m 5’10″ and have a strat. I’m needing about 3″ to be just right for me.
John says:
Hello Bart – I’m just a piano player so I tapped our in-house guitar gurus to put the strap through the paces by making it as short as possible, and then attaching it to a regular Strat-style guitar. When I hang it around my neck, it’s REALLY too high so let’s do this… – What is the length, end-to-end, of your strap when you adjust it to be as short as possible?
Sparky says:
