Franklin Strap3" Black Leather Guitar Strap with Red Stitching
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 3-inch black leather guitar strap with red stitching. For players who want the weight spread wider than a standard strap gives.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Heavy solidbodies and basses that dig into one shoulder
- Long sets where a narrow strap starts to hurt
- Players who want leather that breaks in over time
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting adjustable length beyond what a leather strap allows
- Players who prefer lightweight nylon or padded neoprene
- Guitars with recessed or awkward strap buttons the leather ends won't clear
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
Leather
Stiff at first, then softens and takes the shape of your shoulder. Grips clothing better than nylon, so the guitar wanders less.
Detail 03
Red stitching on black
Contrast stitch is the only visual detail; the strap reads plain black from a distance.
Detail 04
Leather end tabs
Slots start tight. That's what keeps the strap on the button, but it takes force to seat the first time.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Strap locks are not included; the leather slots alone hold it on
- 02Expect the leather to feel stiff for the first few weeks
- 03Check your strap button diameter — oversized buttons stretch the slot
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will a 3-inch strap fit my guitar?
Width doesn't affect fit — the leather end tabs slip over standard strap buttons. Only the button size matters, not the strap's width.
02Is this good for bass?
Yes. The extra width is the main reason to choose a 3-inch strap, and heavy basses are where it makes the biggest difference.
03How do I get the strap onto a tight button?
Work the slot over the button edge with your thumb. New leather is stiff; the hole loosens after a few uses.
04Can I use strap locks with it?
You'd need to buy a strap lock system separately and install it. The strap ships with plain leather slots only.
