What is a good guitar strap?
When looking for a good guitar strap, there are various factors worth paying attention to. If comfort is your top priority, the material of the strap is typically more important than other features.

However, if you’re tired of short lasting straps, you should look for well-constructed guitar straps with strong stitchings in hardy materials such as:
