Detail 01
Leather
Stiff at first, then molds to your shoulder over weeks. Grips fabric better than nylon, so the guitar shifts less.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A basic leather guitar strap in black. For players who want leather's break-in and grip over nylon, at close to nylon's price.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players replacing a stock nylon strap on an electric or acoustic
- Anyone who wants a strap that softens with use
- Standard-weight guitars in seated or shorter standing sessions
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Heavy basses over long sets without adding a shoulder pad
- Players needing extra-long reach for low-slung playing
- Anyone avoiding animal products
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Traditional cut
Plain untapered design with no shoulder padding, so weight sits on a narrower contact patch than a padded strap.
Detail 03
Black
Matches most finishes and hardware and hides scuffs and hand oils as the leather ages.
Detail 04
$17.99
Entry-level leather. Expect thinner hide than boutique straps, which means faster break-in but less long-term stiffness.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it fit acoustic guitars?
Yes, if your acoustic has two strap buttons. Many acoustics have only an endpin, so you'd tie the other end at the headstock or add a button.
02Is it long enough to play low?
It's a standard-length strap. If you play well below the waist, check the maximum length against how you wear your guitar before buying.
03Will it hold a heavy guitar comfortably?
It has no padding. A Les Paul or bass will feel the strap's narrow width over a long set — add a shoulder pad if that's your instrument.
04Do I need strap locks?
Not required, but the holes are plain leather. Strap locks or rubber washers are cheap insurance against the strap slipping off a button.
