Our leathers are chosen for their ability to fully distribute the weight of the guitar across the strap, for a more comfortable playing experience on those long gigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour guitar strap may feel a little stiff at first - that's just the thickness and strength of full grain leather.

The more you wear your guitar strap, the softer it will get.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo top it off, our leather burnishes and beautifies with use.

Between two layers of full-grain leather, we use a high-density, premium padding to maximize comfort without sacrificing strength. Although not as thick as some padded straps out there, our premium padding will not break down over time. We give the guitarist the best of both worlds, a streamlined padded guitar strap.

Our straps are measured from attachment hole to hole. The best way to determine your ideal length, or that of the musician you’re buying for, is to measure the previous strap. If you don’t have a strap to reference for whatever reason, we’ve assembled some general guidelines for length (supplemented with this friendly disclaimer: if you find our standard strap is too short, you can always add a jumbo tongue).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElements to consider:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. Player height and weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • In general, players who are 6’ and under, and average weight, should be fine with a standard length strap.\u003cbr\u003e • Players over 6’, or with more weight, could use a jumbo tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Electric or acoustic:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • Because acoustic guitar bodies are deeper, guitar players 5’10” and over will likely prefer a strap with the jumbo tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Placement of attachment pegs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • The strap attachment peg on the guitar can be in a couple of places. On some guitars the peg is at the top of the bout; on others, it’s placed where the guitar neck meets the body of the guitar. In the case of the latter, a few more inches will be needed, and a jumbo tongue might be the way to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. How low or high the player holds their guitar:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • If the player is a rocker, with their guitar a bit below the waist, a jumbo tongue might be the way to go.\u003cbr\u003e • If the player holds the guitar from the waist up, our standard length strap should do the trick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Anthology Gear Wear","offers":[{"title":"3\"","offer_id":46251801379013,"sku":"SU-3S-RG","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/3709\/files\/leather-guitar-strap-deep-red.jpg?v=1779462706","url":"https:\/\/www.anthologygearwear.com\/products\/leather-guitar-strap-straight-up-canyon-rouge","provider":"Anthology Gear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
