I own multiple of these for all my guitars. It really reduces the weight pressure. I highly recommend

The width and padding are nice, but the leather is super stiff and hard to get on and off of the strap buttons. Additionally, because of the stiffness of the leather and the way it was folded, the ladder piece in the back jabs into my back. I suppose that's what you get when you order the cheap Levy's strap instead of the nicer ones that are twice as expensive. Will probably return.

I couldn't be happier with this leather strap! The quality is outstanding—it's soft, comfortable, and feels great on my shoulder during long playing sessions. This one is a winner!

Perfect amount of stiffness means the leather will take some time to break in but that means it should last a long time. I love the feel on my shoulder takes the weight off nicely. Highly recommend buying this.

This strap is good for heavy gutairs like les Paul's or sum it's super wide so if you got a heavy gutiar it doesn't hurt having it strapped on

I am very fond of this Levy's strap. I just ordered another for a new guitar. I like the adjustability and really like the soft, broken-in feel of the leather. It's comfortable on the shoulder and doesn't slide around.

The reason I bought another one is because I have a new guitar - a Peavey Powerslide lap steel. Being greatly inspired by Megan Lovell of Larkin Poe (Grammy winners! - check them out), I really wanted a lap steel that I could play while standing.

The Powerslide has a special 3-way strap that enables the guitar to be played while standing. The Powerslide is cleverly designed with that in mind.

But a couple problems: While the 3-way Peavey strap holds the guitar securely, the guitar sits too high and too close to the body for optimal playing. The guitar has a huge crescent-shaped "belly cutout", and the guitar snugly fits against the body.

But too close. Access to any point above the 12th "fret" is severely restricted. The two factors - being so high (Waist level) and close to the body made me search for remedies.

I found one. Ordered a Franklin Dobro strap that is 74" long. It has a large loop that fits over the peghead, but is very secure. The added length puts the Powerslide at a lower (3 or 4 inches) and more comfortable position for playing.

Still too close to the body, though. I thought about fabricating a sleeve of some sort to go over the guitar and position it 3 or 4 inches away from me.

While considering my options, I realized all I needed was an extra good quality leather strap. The Powerslide has 4 strap buttons. I will modify the new strap and secure it on the two closest strap buttons not used with the other strap. One is at the point (horn) of the guitar on my left, the other at the right corner of the guitar. My theory is that once I put another hole in the large part of the strap, it will span the extreme belly cut and position the guitar 3 or 4 inches away from me, and comfortably so. Did a dry run with the other Levy's leather strap - it should work fine. I will post another review once I get the new strap modified and installed.

Comes a little stiff, only had it a couple weeks, been working it in my hands a little each night, seams to be getting softer. Might try the mink oil. Padding is nice and soft, feels good with the Les Paul. Ive got the length set with 2 slots exposed,(making it around 44" in length) I hang my guitar up where I can play it, plenty of length left. I punched the holes a little bigger to install strap locks. Seems like a nice strap for a good price. Ive worked with leather for years, auto and hand tooled, and the way this leather was processed makes me a little skeptical as its too smooth and perfect, and the logo seems melted in rather than stamped. It would have been nice if they would have dyed the raw material on the back side black too. I might do that myself. I`ll post back after a year or so and put it through some use as time will tell how it breaks in.

Padded, so I use it on bass. Measures at the pad about 3 1/4 inches. Break it in like a ball glove (I use mink oil) or it seems a little Customer Service is at the usual high standard!

I recieved this strap as a christmas gift. I own other Levy straps that are on my various different guitars. This company's pledge to quality & workmanship is second to none. This particular strap needs about 4 more inches of adjustability. I use the strap but have to readjust my playing style when sitting down. Other than that I am well satisfied with the product. Just wish it was a few inches longer. Thks Don P

The quality is always great with the Levy's straps. I have a super heavy bass, so I needed a padded, wider than usual strap. This one does the job just fine!
