Ever have a strap pop loose and drop your guitar? I still remember the bass that landed on my foot one time. That simply won't happen with this strap.

It's an ingenious design that's so simple you wonder why someone didn't invent it sooner. You lace these little tabs (guitar shaped!) onto your strap buttons, and pop the main strap on or off, attaching with these amazing leather buttons that latch into slots in the taps. Hard to describe... visit http://www.rowemusicparts.com/guitar_strap/ and look at the photos. Be sure to watch the video. Would you try that with your present strap? I don't think so!

This baby isn't cheap but it is some of the best quality leather I've ever seen in a strap, and the workmanship is superb. I talked to Mike Rowe and learned that he sources the manufacture to a local Amish leather works that's been making tack and other stuff for 3 generations. You can tell. If there's any downside at all, it's that the new strap is pretty stiff. But that will pass with time and use, and this strap should last a lifetime.

There are 2 designs - straight and curved. I have the curved and it's very comfortable. Comes in black, brown or tan. There's no fancy work, which I like. I understand that some custom stamping is available. Talk to Mike if you want it. He's a great guy to deal with... very inventive in his product designs... and he stands behind what he sells.

If you have a guitar that you value highly, you really should look into this strap.
