I had a friend recommend me this strap since he was using it on his bass. My intention was to use it on my Les Paul. I don't know why, but I was expecting somewhat thick, but still cheap leather. What I got whas thin and cheap leather that cracks just by looking at it. It had some crack marks already in the package. The leather is thin and not super high quality. The padding is nice, feels good and keeps a heavy guitar from shifting. Still, this strap didn't inspire me too much.

I returned it and spent 13 euros more to get the Minotaur Psychedelic. It has much better quality and finish and I feel secure hanging my Les Paul off it.

In the end it comes down to what you want, a cheap product or a quality product. Sometimes with Harley Benton you can have cheap stuff that works quite well but this one isn't it unfortunately. At least not for me.

A lot more than I expected for the price
Pete-plays-guitar 01.06.2017
I have to admit for this price I was not expecting much as this is not much more expensive than some nylon straps.

The strap is nice and wide and well padded and makes it very comfortable for some of my most heavy guitars. It is nice to have the two different length holes for a strap of this price i.e. sitting and standing holes (I have always assume that is what they are for).

The leather is quite nice and the white suede'ish padded inside. Most leather straps are around 3 to 4 times the price of this, and yes, it probably won't last years and years but I am not expecting it to for this price.

All in all, it is very comfortable and allows hours of playing without too much discomfort. Some people have said the material is too stiff, but I think this also goes to help distribute the weight across the strop, so I have no problems with it.

For the price, it is a bargain.

Comfortable and looks great
James R 21.02.2022
Got this one because I thought a guitar I ordered would be on the heavy side and would need the padding. As it turned out, the guitar was much lighter, but the strap looked so good with it, I decided to keep it. Very comfortable.

Nice comfy strap
Dan Dan the sound man 24.01.2018
I have quite a heavy bass guitar and so needed to get a strap that I could ware all day and not have the strap digging in to shoulder.

This one seemed to do the job and wasn't to much.
The strap is brown leather which seems alright, not the nicest leather, but you get what you pay for. Around the buttonholes it looks like they might go over time, but should be OK.
The padding is good and make the strap a bit wider which makes it more comfy. It's not the thickest padding but good for what it is.
I've used this strap for all day sessions and I've not had the strap digging in to my shoulder which is a nice improvement from my last strap.

The main thing with this strap that I have found is it that it's quite long for a strap. I'm not particularly short at 5'11 and I've got to have it on it's shortest setting, which is fine, but if I wan't it shorter I can't.

Overall impression: great strap for the money particularly if you have a heavier instrument like I do. The quality is good for the price and so long as you look after it should last a good amount of time.

I loved it at first, it's very comfortable wearing for a long time. However it's surprisingly heavy, it's the first strap I held whose weight I could "feel in hand". In combination with a heavy guitar it's not ideal. It seems to be real leather and not "scrap" leather which is a big plus

The padded side lock hole got worn out over time and I don't trust it to hold my guitar anymore, I remember at least two accidents where I barely saved my guitar from hitting the floor. I think from now on I will only ever buy elastic straps for heavy guitars and for this strap I'll get strap locks, if I want to use it again

So overall it looks better than it functions, so I can only recommend it if you care more about looks than your own comfort (which is an entirely valid point of view) and if I were you I'd avoid using it with heavy guitars

Nice but on a little bit thin leather
Marcus6718 14.12.2021
The strap is quite nice, the leather is a bit thin. Might be a problem in the long run. I’m thinking it would work great with strap locks which would not only fit well due to the thin leather but also save it from wear and tear. The padding is soft and no worse than other straps I’ve tried. Some reviewers said the padding looks dirty and while I see what they’re getting at it’s not a problem. It’s comfortable and adjustable.

11 Out Of 15 Stars_73%
Nyli 23.12.2015
I bought this strap to use when i am busking. I often stand playing for three hours at a time with my Acoustic Guitar. This strap is pretty comfortable, and feels okay.

Quality wise it is okay, it's not the greatest, but i guess it's not the most expensive.

I have given it 11 out of 15 stars which equate to 73% which i think is fair. I have taken off 4 marks as there probably are more comfortable straps out there,i think it would be nice to be longer, and the most important it is described as leather, but i think it is PU leather, at best.

Amazing product
L Louis 11.12.2019
Loved the look the second the wrapping came off, for the price I expected a basic and cheaper quality of a leather strap, but I was quite surprised. The overall build quality is done really well, the padding isn't excessive and goes well with the colour of the strap. Also the branding in front isn't too loud.
Comfortable and well built, great looking, absolutely brilliant value for money.
