Tips On Buying Custom Guitar Straps

By Angela Taylor


To be effective in your career or while playing the instrument, as a guitarist, you need to be able to hold it in place. There are different types of custom guitar straps and different ways of customizing them. Searching for the right trap can be confusing. Below are some of the important aspects you need to look into when buying these accessories.

The first most important aspect is the material. When you have an instrument with a solid body that weighs from three to four kilos, the strap itself ought to withstand such weight for a long time. Such an accessory should be made of high quality. The leather is a good quality material, however, there are other materials such as nylon and synthetic and natural fibers. The decision of the favorable material solely lies on you.

How the belt will be attached on your neck must be considered. Imagine the instrument falling down on stage during a performance due to a weak belt. This can be a terrible experience which can be prevented. The strip needs to be strong enough so that the instrument is safely held. If it is not purely made of leather, the ends must be at least of this material. It also needs to have security locks in place.

Width is another vital consideration. An instrument weighing heavily needs significant shoulder support than the less weighty types. Many standard bands have a width of 5-8 centimeters. This is the preferred range that will save your shoulders from tiring and hurting. A range less than this can be very uncomfortable and tiring.

The length is also important. The band needs to be adjustable in length. The distance you normally play your instrument when suspended from a shoulder or neck determines the length. It will be best if you measure the length along the shoulders from one band button to the other. If you love playing it at knee height, ensure you get an extra-long belt.

The duration you will take while playing the instrument when performing is a crucial factor. If you normally play for an elongated duration, ensure you acquire a padded belt to provide you with comfort. Alternatively, if you own an acoustic instrument, select an accessory that is lined with garment leathers to provide more comfort.

Ensure you fit the accessory before buying. Although your personal taste will play an important role while selecting the strip, it needs to be comfortable. Try it on with your instrument to confirm this. You may find a simple flat leather belt to be more comfortable on your shoulders or neck than a thick neoprene type.

Getting your personalized belt should not be a complex task. You can also express yourself as a performer and catch the eyes of your audience with attention-grabbing details and high impact colors. This may be using lettering in etching and other scripted techniques. Treble clefts and music notes alongside letters can also be a good idea in making the strap look good.
