Founded in 1999 in Franklin, Tennessee by musician and designer Greg Bennett, Franklin Strap is an American manufacturer of premium guitar straps and the Glider Capo. The company produces all of its straps in the USA, working with top-grade leathers, suedes, canvas, cotton, and other textiles. Their product line spans a wide range of strap styles — from classic leather and glove leather designs to colorful fabric and woven options — along with accessories like strap locks, strap connectors, transmitter pouches, and guitar picks. They also offer personalizable straps for players looking for custom options.

The Glider Capo, one of the brand's signature products, features a rolling mechanism with dual springs that allows guitarists to slide it from fret to fret mid-performance rather than clamping and unclamping like a traditional capo. Its soft composite radius mimics the pressure of a finger barring strings, and its proprietary synthetic rubber blend is designed to prevent neck marks and fret wire wear.

After Greg Bennett's passing in 2020, ownership transitioned to Greg Lancaster Sr., Greg Lancaster II, and Charlton Moore, who continue the brand's legacy out of Franklin, Tennessee. Franklin Strap partners with hundreds of retailers across the United States and distributes internationally through dealers in the UK and Europe.
