Little disappointment

Hendrek 08.07.2020

I bought this strap for my new 5 string JB, whis is quite heavy (5,6kg), because I already have similar strap in different colour (Harley Benton Guitar Strap Padded Brown) and I am satisfied with that old one.
But this new black one, when compared with the brown one is much worse. I think, that in factory they forgot to add one layer of leather on the inner side of strap, because on the brown one, there is smooth surface on both sides of strap (except shoulder pad of course). Not the same on this black one - the inner side of strap is rough to the touch and crumbles small pieces of black fabric. Also it doesnt feel as sturdy as the brown one.
I have no courage, to use it with such heavy instrument, I don't trust that it can carry the weight reliably. According Thomann description it should have reinforced strap button holes, but it hasn't.
I will not send it back, because I will use it as a strap for one of my spare guitars, which I don't play often, but I feel a little disappointment with this purchase.
I hope that this is issue only with this one piece, not with all of the production line.

It's pretty okay.

Anonymous 01.03.2017

It is an okay guitar strap. I still use it and it is very comfortable, however the look of the material is one of the things I don't like.

Pros:
1. Like mentioned in the beginning, it is really comfortable. Playing live, at home, sitting and standing it feels wells. Does not feel rough on the skin when playing with tank-tops or just topless in summer, so that is a massive bonus, considering many guitar straps have the issue of having a rough material that grinds the skin.
2. Comfortable. Feels quite comfortable.
3. Adjustment. I like straps that are padded, so I was satisfied of the adjustment system. This way the guitar stays in the same height, so I am satisfied that this one has this kind of an adjustment control.

Cons:
1. Material. I honestly was not a big fan of the material of the guitar strap, because it started to wear off quite soon after purchasing it. It might have been a couple of months before it started to noticeably wear off.

In conclusion, it is a pretty okay guitar strap, but I was not happy with the material and that it started to wear of so soon.

Super comfortable, really long, cheap leather

deengr 19.12.2025

Only 2 complaints are in the title.

After ca 2 years, the smooth top layer of the leather started separating like a papery plastic. Gives the impression of pleather, but probably just some kind of thin coating or finish to make it look more valuable. Kind of a bummer really.

It’s also really long so there’s usually a tail hanging off from using the second hole.

Otherwise zero complaints. Holes have held up well but I don’t remove the strap often. Never noticed any discoloration, but my guitar is black so…

Length adjustment unsatisfactory

andrew_gessien 06.04.2021

I got this strap to start learning bass.
Adjusted to its shortest, the strap is still too long, and leaves an unsightly loose end.
Otherwise, it's comfortable and hard wearing and the price is good. But that's no good to me if I can't adjust it to the right length.

Harley Benton Black Leather Strap

John8265 02.12.2014

Nice strap for the money but I think their brown suede one is a lot nicer and looks to be better quality. (I have 3 of the brown suede ones now)

This one is a bit thin and tends to get creases in the leather and stuff.

Not perfect.

Mr3M 13.01.2019

I order this belt based on reviews, however i'm slightly dissapoined in the quality. Also a point for attention; to use lockers with this belt as it slips easily from its guitar.

Harley Benton Guitar Strap Padded Black

Antoine171 12.05.2014

If you have the strap long then your shoulder will sit on the thinner part of the unpadded strap unless you attach the thicker part of the strap to the front(if that makes sense) which is a bit unusual. Also the leather is thin, or it plastic, not sure.
For it's price I suppose I shouldn't grumble
