Thomann Nylon XXL Strap

this strap is my go-to standard guitar strap which I have on almost all of my guitars. It's cheap but it's functional - and most important: It's got quite an impressive length. Back in the days when I was overweight, I had the problem that most straps where just too short.. you can't play rock music as a teenager when the bass/guitar hangs under your nipples - just.. no.
But with this nice XXL version of a guitar strap, the problem was solved and young me could finally rock out with an instrument at the 'right' height.

But even though now I guess I could go with a 'standard length' guitar strap, I just don't see the point to spend about 10 times the money on a leather strap with padding and propably 'cool' design features, if this thing just works and works and works and is such a great deal for the buck. Okay, I admit, on heavy guitars my back starts to hurt after a while, but I don't really see the fault in the strap there, because it's really wide and thus the pressure gets spread across a large area.. instead some back training should be more helpful, I guess

If you need a long strap - and by that I mean VERY long - this is the one for you.
You can hang your guitar on your knees with it, it's almost rediculous.
But hey, how often did you put on a guitar strap, that was just that tiny bit too short for you? Won't happen here, I assure you that.

The nylon strap itself is of good quality and will probably last forever.
With the leather ends I am not so sure. On my strap, one of them is getting dryed out and starts to crackle, but nothing to worry about yet. And considering I bought this strap almost eight years ago, I predict it will last another eight as well.

What I always liked about the strap is that it has a tiny pocket at one end where you can put a pick in. So whenever a pick might slip out of your hand you got immediate replacement in your strap. Very nice feature, especially on stage.

Verdict: Long lasting basic nylon strap that will never be too short. Ever.

This strap i WELL worth the money paid for it, probably the longest strap i've ever seen.

Putting the strap on was a nightmare due to the ends of the strap where the eyes are, being seriously thick and not very flexible. I ended up having to cut the eyes to get the strap on. And once it was on no one is getting it off again with how snuggly fitted it is.

The only downside however is that the strap is slippy, and i mean REALLY slippy. You need to keep your hands on it at all times or it slips and slides all over the place. One of the downsides of not getting one of the suede backed ones.

However for this price that would be asking to much. As it stands this is a great strap if all your looking to do is stop your guitar plummeting to the floor
