Harley Benton Guitar Strap Suede Brown

Got this with my electric guitar. What I mean by that is that it came basically free as it was in a bundle. I chose this because honestly it just looked good, comfy and sturdy! So I figured it would work and look good.

Well.. it's just that. This is a very soft belt. Feels very good. Sits on you amazingly nice. I can't really feel the guitar on me anymore! My feet will get tired long before I feel my guitar getting heavy. You can do 2-3 hours shows with this and it's great! If this ever fails for some reason I'll get the same one all over again.

For the price you pay it's really good quality! Like really good!

It worked for me, I recommend it for you!

Note: I haven't tried it while jumping or doing crazy stuff on-stage, I do use some fender strap blocks with it and honestly I don't see how the belt could fail or break at this point.

I bought two of these straps, one to accompany a new guitar purchase and a second to replace a seatbelt-like horror that was on my telecaster. This strap represents great value, delivering a high quality suede fabric at a very low price. I had never bought a leather or suede strap before entirely due to the often prohibitive pricing. This strap is very comfortable, feels like a long-term solution/hard-wearing and may even help improve/iron-out minor guitar/bass balance issues. Adjustment is simple. I would probably have preferred that the branding was less obvious/not present at all but that is down to personal preference.

I bought this strap for my Fender Stratocaster.

I've been using it for almost a year. It does its job and feels comfortable on the shoulder and doesn't tend to slide off the strap buttons. The Harley Benton logo is discreet and doesn't screams at you.

Things I didn't like -- it had a strong, strange smell like some weird cologne. Now after a year the smell is gone. The main setback is the strap adjuster -- it slightly twists and warps, not staying straight because the material is thin.

My two cents. This strap would feel right on a budget guitar but if you have an instrument on higher price point I would suggest adding some extra bucks and buying something better. In the end I bought another strap for my strat and this one went on my no name brand guitar where it feels at home.

I am using this strap with my Epiphone thunderbird pro-v bass which is a fairly heavy instrument. Despite the weight of the bass, the strap is very comfortable in use. It doesn't cut into my shoulder and doesn't get in the way and there is a generous thickness to the layers of leather that are sewn together. The stiching is very neat and The tan colour of the suede goes nicely with the natural wood finish of the bass. I was initially disappointed that only the outside surface of the strap was suede with the inside appearing to be smooth leather, however this is textured so the strap does not slip in use.

I prefer to avoid straps with metal buckles or other components as I keep my straps permanently attached to my guitars and basses. I prefer to minimise the chance of damaging the instrument?s finish when in a gigbag, so I was disappointed to find a metal fixing used on the extension part of this strap. This appears to be there to fasten two shorter pieces of leather together making a longer piece, so it is puzzling why a longer piece could not have been used to eliminate this metal part.

I've bought this strap for my bass guitar. As you know basses a bit heavier than electic guitars and I've looked for pretty tight and strong strap - this is very important as for regular repetition as for live performance, everything should be stable. So, this strap have 3 holes to hold guitar on required level for comfortable playing and it has also addition leverage you can set based on your height. the quality of leather is very nice, you can feel some pleasure to wear it, really. Finally, my best recommendations to all buyers; it strongly keeps bass guitar (and suitable for any other).
