Ernie Ball Black Polypro Guitar Strap

Having purchased two of these for my acoustic guitars recently i can confirm they are high quality, i have owned one for over a year and after spending some time agonising on what strap to get for my newest musical addition i just had to go for what works. The strap is comfortable and sits firmly on most strap pegs, it can take a little effort to get them on for the first time but once they are you'll forget its even there within minutes. And that honestly is the key, most straps i find can cut in to the player, or feel bulky on the shoulders but this lightweight strap just holds up the instrument, nothing more nothing less and does so unintrusively, the colours are vibrant and eye catching without being over the top although i must admit i only have blue and navy and have used black and gray several guitars ago. After playing guitar for years these are straps i keep returning to, top of the line quality for bottom of the line prices, usually too good to be true but not so for this strap, 100% recommended

I own three of these (one being the acoustic version with the band at the top). They are very well made, and I don’t see them needing to be replaced for a very long time. They are also plenty long, so if you’re of a larger/taller frame, these should be fine. I use mine on a Martin D-15, an Epiphone SG, and an Aria PE (Les Paulesque electric guitar, but thinner and lighter) and the only negative comment is that the slippy material allows the SG to neckdive, whereas a pain leather strap with a rough back gives a bit of grip onto your clothes. That, however, is not the fault of these straps, but rather the lightweight body of Epiphone’s finest. I had to lengthen the cut on the end of the acoustic strap in order to get it over the jack socket of Martin (Fishman Matrix). It would fit a standard end pin without modification. If your guitar is on the heavier side (eg Les Paul), you might benefit from a wider strap to spread the weight out. However, unless you want a leather strap four times the price, these are the best value straps I’ve seen.

Good quality, and easy to adjust the strap length. The opening holes, particularly on the guitar body end are too small. I had to enlarge both openings. This isn't a big problem, just something that may hopefully improve as the leather softens.

Nice and comfortable, good value

Very well, made no frills.It does the job perfectly. I don't play havoc guitar.This strap was absolutely perfect.

If you have an electric guitar and are looking for a plain, reasonably priced strap this one ticks the boxes. It's made of nylon and feels fairly sturdy, with an adjustable buckle so you can set the guitar to your chosen position on your body. There's no padding on the strap. At each end there is a hole which you can push the pegs on the body of your guitar through - they're a bit of a struggle (at least they were for me) but at least they're not likely to fall off. I understand that some people use strap locks - disks to put over the pegs to hold straps in position - but this strap doesn't come with them. The only decoration is the name of the manufacturer which appears on one of the leathery ends. Absolutely fine for my needs, so I'm more than satisfied with this.

If you need a quality accoustic strap and with the brilliant button connector on the neck get this!

The quality of a basic guitar strap has changed since I last bought one in the 1990s. Guitar straps today rarely, if ever, include any metal components. Buckle slides and end connectors are now made from a cheaper plastic called 'delrin'. This could be be good, as the softer material is less likely to scratch your guitar. Though not as strong as metal, Delrin is strong enough, so I'm confident my guitar is safe. Where I'm most critical is the quality of the webbing. All my old nylon/polymer straps were a much thicker/heavier gauge material, whereas modern webbing is thinner and tends to crease and gather over the shoulder. When I bought this "Ernie Ball" strap I was hoping for a better quality product in this regard. Although the Ernie Ball webbing has a better weave quality than most, overall it's lightweight and really not especially impressive. The Ernie Ball basic guitar strap boasts leather ends, which is a plus. However the leather ends are very small with tiny holes I had great difficulty feeding through the guitar's anchor buttons. Finally the Ernie Ball guitar strap boasts that it's adjustable up to 72ins, a feature I didn't take particular notice of this when I bought it. However, once I had the strap on the electric guitar and adjusted it to fit, the buckle ended up uncomfortably between my shoulder blades. Unless you're a large person with a big acoustic guitar, I doubt the extra inches will be anything more than an annoyance.
