Why bother spending any more money on an accessory when Thomann make the perfect product at such an accessible price?
Overall: A bargain and a very reliable piece of hardware that you can use and adapt to any guitar.
Features:
It is entirely customisable and offers a great range and versatility in terms of its length. It would easy provide a good fit for you son or daughter, and would also hang very low and comfortably for your bassist.
It's adjustable strap is made of plastic, but it is of a very good quality. There is no question that it will hold for a very very long time. The strap itself is made of nylon, a little rough in texture, but nothing that will cause any significant discomfort.
You can easily wear the strap for hours without it causing any pain to your neck or shoulders. At both ends, we find leather patches which are also of good quality.
The back patch offers a wide whole that you can easily slot any guitar in. This will fit any guitar and hold it well. Taking off the strap at the back is also easy and only takes a matter a seconds.
The front part of the strap consist of a leather patch with the elegant Harley Benton logo (in white) with a string material that I believe to be felt. I must say this is a very nice touch as it provides great traction on lacquered necks and makes the guitarist feel like the knot will hold.
Design:
Indeed the entire design of the strap is well conceived. There are no flaws. It is made of reliable materials and will suit any guitarist, no matter what he or she may be playing, no matter their height or preferred strap length. The materials are comfortable to use and handle and the general feel of the strap is that it is of high quality.
Criticism(s):
The only thing that I can think of would be a lack of style change and colour variation. I would love to see some different colours, materials and patterns. For instance, some punk-rock patterns, some stripes and why not national flags? That being said, its black colour really will suit pretty much any guitar out there!
Summary:
This is and will always be is a very versatile piece of equipment that is provided by a company that never fails to amaze me. How can they produce such good quality products at these prices?! An easy purchase for any aspiring or experienced guitarist! You simply cannot go wrong with the price and value that you get. If you are looking for a specifically comfortable strap (say one that is entirely made of felt?) then this may not be the one for you but if all you are looking for is something to simply allow you to hold your guitar as you stand or walk around - then buy this and nothing else!
Short review: This strap does exactly what it says on the tin: it will not let you down, it is a reliable piece of equipment at a very affordable price. Buy it!
