Levy's Leathers 3" Wide Amped Leather Series Guitar Strap with Foam Padding and Garment Leather Backing; Black (M26PD-BLK)

I've used quite a few guitar straps over the years, but this one from Levy's really stands out. The white and black "Panda" design is eye-catching without being over the top. It looks sharp on both light and dark guitars. Mine is a flying V with a white pick guard.The leather is top quality and feels solid without being too stiff. It’s wide enough (3 inches) to distribute the weight of the guitar comfortably, even during long sessions. The stitching is clean, and the strap just feels like it's built to last.Overall, I’m really impressed. It’s not just a good-looking strap—it’s functional and feels premium. Would definitely buy another.

This is the second strap I purchased from the Levy’s Amped series. The first one went into service 18 months ago and has held up very well through daily practice and on a number of gigs. The new one is set up to be a little shorter to accommodate a few other guitars. The tan one in the picture is a 20 year-old Levy’s strap just to illustrate their durability – it’s been on more than 100 gigs. They are all very durable and super comfortable. Note I use the last bit of the strap and the final hole to make a loop for my cable. I didn’t do that on the new one because it will be utilized on an instrument that doesn’t need the loop. I noticed a few of the negative reviews complained about them being too short. I have to wonder if the reviewers realize they come with the strap set in the shortest position. You can move the tail end into any of the slots to achieve your desired length. For me, that’s 45 inches, Straplok to Straplok. Max length pin to pin is about 50 inches. So, it won’t accommodate a Flea or Dee Dee Ramone playing style; but everyone else should be able to find their happy place.The other complaint in some reviews was the suspicion that the strap may not be genuine leather. It’s a highly finished product – smooth on the top and textured on the padded side. If you give it a leather test (I did) you’ll find that both the shiny top and the textured side are real. Levy’s makes more expensive straps with fancier and more detailed leather, but the Amped series is a bargain at $29.

A perfect strap at a great price.I'll never use cheap "seat belt" style straps again. This strap is made of durable material that had lasted.It's padded and extremely comfortable even for long jam sessions. Easy to customize to your desired length.

I bought this guitar strap for a little extra padding compared to my old guitar strap. This strap is genuine leather and is obviously very sturdy. The thickness of the cushioned portion is substantial and is not too soft, but not too hard either. It is just the right thickness and just the right amount of padding to be very comfortable when playing and even for long sets. The only downfall is that the pad's thickness makes the strap a bit less flexible so, when trying to quickly set the guitar on a guitar stand, the strap is often in the way and has to be manipulated with a second hand so that the guitar sits on the stand properly. I am often having to get back to my microphone quickly and may have something else in my other hand, so this can be a bit annoying. But I'm not sure that's the strap's fault. I guess it's a trade-off between having a nice, thick comfortable strap and one that is easy to manipulate.The color is consistent throughout the strap. The holes are tight, so it will be difficult for the strap to fall off. The stitching is high quality as well.

I have been using mine for over a year now. I like the feel of it and holds by bass very comfortably. I play 4 sets on a Sunday morning with the worship team and never have any issue. I was able to adjust for me the way I like my bass to hang from my neck. Definitely recommend.

Expecting a “so, so,” strap but got a really functional, reliable and handsome strap. A real tool for long gigs. Fantastic shoulder fit, quality materials. Solid work and a salute to the makers.

Nice leather for the price. Too stiff for my liking. Would have been more comfortable if I had purchased a 2 or 2-1/2" one instead of 3". It won't conform to my shoulder.Update: I discovered the problem with this strap is the styrofoam padding, not the width. That is what makes it so stiff. It took me over an hour but I managed to remove the styrofoam and the strap is now soft and pliable and fits my shoulder well. I would not buy this one again. I very much dislike the styrofoam and it is way too difficult to remove.

Very nice quality - well made. Also looks great. NO complaints! Put Dunlop strap locks on it, now there's no worries!
