Here in this article we are going to talk about something that concerns to all guitarists but we rarely see them talking about this. I mean they can talk about the guitar type, its quality and many other things. But very rarely I would see some guitarists or musicians talking on this subject. Yes, today we are going to talk about the leather guitar straps or straps made of any material especially used for guitars. Now the thing is, some people may think that why exactly this strap thing is so damn important to be discussed separately from the main consideration guitar itself? Well, no denying of the fact, guitar strap holds a very certain importance. Carrying a guitar during some concerts or even in the rehearsals is not an easy thing. Most branded guitars weigh a lot. So carrying these heavy instruments for hours becomes quite hard for the stars especially during the concerts where they have to constantly carry the guitars and also move on the stage. So I believe this is something that must be discussed from all perspectives, like strap quality, shape, material, cost and everything. The very instant consequence of a mismatched guitar strap would be a harsh back pain that no artist can certainly afford to have at all.
Many guitar companies focus on the size and shape of the guitar strap, and they design the strap keeping in view the weight of the guitar. For instance if you have a guitar that has got a lot of weight, and it is attached to a slightly thinner and slimmer strap, you would never feel comfortable carrying the guitar with this meager strap. Apart from the dis-comfort, this can simply break at any time and can also damage your expensive instrument. So it is always better to attach a thick and wide strap with your heavy guitar. This would simply be fun lifting your beast for longer hours and you would not have back pains or any such issues. So in my opinion, spending money on getting a quality leather guitar strap is simply worth your money because this is not just about the looks, rather this is much more about your comfort and also your physical well-being as well. you can spend a good deal of money on a mere strap just to make sure that you stay happy while lifting and playing your buddy during concerts or rehearsals.
