Best strap ever!
Bought a pair of these for my guitars. Figured they would be easy to use, because strap locks are a pain in the butt to install and then there is the fact that once they are installed? They are going nowhere.
Want to not use your strap? Get bent, you have strap locks on this guitar. Want to store your guitar easier in a case? Lol, no.
Then D'Addario comes along and says: "Wave goodbye to all that nonsense!"
Used it on my modified Strat at a jam session recently and that guitar did not move at ALL.
Want a good strap that does strap things and will give you the confidence that your guitar isn't going to fall off you for a reasonable price? Get this strap.

Best Strap Ever?
This strap doesn't work for just guitars, if it has strap buttons on it, it will work with this strap. I have used this on my guitars, basses, and even my double neck and it has worked and felt comfortable on every single one, this will be my go to until I can find a cheaper one that is better than this, which isn't likely. My only complain is that there is not much designs to choose from and it would be cool to have more choices. This won't fall off no matter how much you try and for the value you get from this strap, I would highly recommend to everyone.
