A flaw that is a blessing in disguise
To elaborate on the head of the review, my ONLY concern regarding this strap was the metal "Minotaur" logo that was too close to comfort for me and for my guitar's finish. Luckily, once I received it, the logo fell out and that is one of the things I was really happy about (I don't like plucking things from their original place).
Regarding the strap quality and the strap comfort. Oh my, where do I start. Previously, I've only been using cheap crappy nylon straps (I've been using an Ibanez nylon strap that I got with my S-470 for 4 years and it's still usable), but that thing would SLICE into my shoulder.
After the Ibanez strap and a Fender Bomber nylon strap, both of them were just too "slicey" for my ESP LTD EC-1000 (it is a rather heavy guitar). Luckily, with this strap, this is no longer a problem as the width easily covers most of my shoulder, spreading the weight nicely. After playing a set, I did not feel like I just lugged around a 5,5kg thing on my shoulder for several hours.
Slipping: my biggest concern with nylon straps is that they would move around too much - or that I would have to "slice them in" my shoulder to prevent my guitar moving constantly, this strap holds the guitar in place and only moves if you want it to move. Highly recommend this strap.
Three things to beware:
- Try not to play without a shirt on, it's leather on leather.
- The strap is not "as white" as its picture suggests, more like dirty white or faded grey
- If the metal logo is what you really want in a strap - mine came with an awesome defect, to avoid any unnecessary damage to your guitar's finish, I'd pluck that sucker right out.

Amazing Strap
Apart from the very good looks of it, it feels very comfortable on the shoulders and holds well the weight of it. Was pretty easy to attach to guitar. Very happy with it.

Very nice
High quality materials and very well made. I would say the price is reasonable and certainly worth what you pay for.
I would recommend to purchase an alternative strap if you like to have your guitar low (average height person) as it doesn't quite extend far enough but this only negligible and with a little adjustment to play height it is not a problem.

solid and great looking strap
This strap is of high quality. High diversity on length settings. The 'dirty white/grey' look of it is amazing. I use it with Dunlop Straploks and that works perfectly.
