5 Guitar/Bass Straps That Look Like Seatbelts

2024-09-07

Though the calendar says it's autumn, the heat still persists. How is everyone doing?
This year has been exceptionally hot, and I've been relying on car travel more than ever…
Today, I'd like to introduce a familiar item that you might recognize from cars: guitar/bass straps made from seat belts!

When it comes to car seatbelts, they have a distinctive smooth texture and material. While these guitar/bass straps aren't made from the exact same material, there are several products available that boast being made from seat belt material! Each one provides an excellent fit on the shoulder and has a glossy finish that really stands out on stage (^−^).

① Daddario / 50PRW01 Premium Woven Strap

Width: 2 inches (approximately 5 cm)
Length: 35.5 inches - 59.5 inches (approximately 90.17 cm - 151.13 cm)

The first one is an elegant red strap that really stands out! The seat belt material enhances the glossiness, giving it a softer impression than a regular red color. Additionally, the hardware is made of matte zinc, creating an interesting contrast with the fabric's sheen. Customers who have purchased this strap have given it high praise♪

Excerpt From a Review

"A strap that really shines on stage! The comfort on the shoulder is outstanding, unlike anything I've experienced before. The hardware used is thick and substantial, and it's a class above the usual stamped and cut-out ones."

② Ernie Ball / 4139 2" Seatbelt Webbing Strap Black

Width: 2 inches (approximately 5 cm)
Length: 41 inches - 72 inches (approximately 104.1 cm - 182.88 cm)

Next up is the seat belt strap from Ernie Ball, known for their high-quality nylon and jacquard woven straps! This one features a sleek, all-black design for a very simple look. To ensure the highest strength and durability, the end pieces are machine-stitched with high-quality black leather.

Excerpt From a Review

It uses garment leather for the end pieces, which is both durable and smooth. Combined with the seat belt material of the strap, it has a texture that's quite addictive.

④ Gruv Gear / Korr Strap (Black, Standard)

Standard
Width: approximately 3.8 cm
Length: approximately 80 cm - 120.6 cm

Extra Long
Width: approximately 3.8 cm

It has a slightly more rugged appearance compared to the three previously introduced straps, showcasing the brand's unique personality.
What’s great about this strap is that you can choose between a standard and an extra-long length! Additionally, it comes with a pick holder, making it a well-equipped and feature-rich strap.

⑤ Dimarzio / Steve Vai Print-Blue Cherry Universe DD3144

Width: 2 inches (approximately 5 cm)
Length: 32 inches - 56.6 inches (approximately 81 cm - 144 cm)

Finally, we have a strap with a colorful and fashionable marble design! This is a signature model of Steve Vai. It was inspired by Steve’s signature Ibanez Anniversary Universe 7-string guitar. The vibrant colors make it highly visible even from a distance. There are also many other color variations available, so be sure to check out our product page!
