Description

Edit description

Our "SLASHER" guitar strap is the strap of choice for many guitarists. Slash of Guns and Roses and Joe Perry of Aerosmith have both chosen this as their strap of choice. Many players think that a wider strap is needed when playing a heavy guitar like a Gibson Les Paul or Fender B-Bass but the Red Monkey Slasher strap proves that theory wrong.

3/4" wide strap with solid cast buckle.

You will receive the Monkey version of this strap unless you request the round snap head in the NOTES section when ordering.

Available in 2 sizes:

Size 1: (45-55") Size 2: (50-60")

*Strap Lock holes punched upon request. **Special sizing available upon request.

Red Monkey guitar straps are 100% hand-built in the USA in our Los Angeles studio. We back our straps with a lifetime guarantee.

Back breaking beautiful

Your classic Les Paul not breaking your back enough as is? Try an extremely skinny strap to really have it dig into your shoulder while looking like a rockstar. Regret using it every time but use it for the next time also because RnR. 10/10 would recommend.
