Why do some guitar straps have two laces at one end?
Guitar straps with a pair of strings on one end are intended for instruments that only have one strap button. You attach the string end of the strap to the area of the headstock just above the nut, where there's room to slide the laces under the actual guitar strings. To use a guitar strap made with holes on each end, you need a guitar tech to install a second strap button on your instrument.
Which guitar-strap material is comfortable to wear when playing a heavier instrument?
A well-made leather guitar strap provides the most support for a weighty guitar or bass. If you prefer to use a nylon or cotton guitar strap, choose the widest option you can find. For extra comfort, order a guitar strap with foam or neoprene shoulder padding.
How do I know which size guitar strap to order?
Most guitar straps are adjustable. Standard guitar straps range between 40 inches and 60 inches in length to suit the majority of adults. Children, shorter adults, and people playing smaller instruments should order guitar straps that are adjustable between 30 inches and 50 inches. Taller people and people who want a lower-slung guitar should order guitar straps that adjust up to around 70 inches long.
