1. Ibanez / GS100TOD – Tim Henson (Polyphia) Signature Strap

First up is this highly anticipated model! This is the signature strap of world-renowned guitarist of Polyphia, Tim Henson, who continues to capture the attention of fans across the globe. Since its release in July 2024, it has quickly become a fan favorite.
The strap is adjustable from 80cm, making it a great choice for players who prefer to wear their instrument higher. The inlay-style design, inspired by Tim Henson himself, is a delicate and beautiful piece of art. Even if you’re not a fan (yet!), the elegant color scheme makes it easy to match with any instrument.
Made of polypropylene, it’s lightweight and flexible, which makes it perfect for smooth movement while playing. Don’t miss your chance to check this one out!

2. ESP / ES-S-70 Miku – Hatsune Miku Model

Next up is a stylish and cute strap featuring a silver silhouette of Hatsune Miku. With artwork based on her original first-generation design, this strap is sure to appeal to long-time fans!
The outer surface is made of smooth leather, while the inner surface uses slightly rougher leather, providing a good balance of comfort and grip. This design also helps prevent neck dive, making it a practical choice for guitarists.
Additionally, the body features a shield loop, which helps manage your instrument cable, which solves the common problem of tangled or dangling cables during performances. A great strap for live shows!

3. FENDER / Rei Signature Strap

Next up is a brand-new signature model released this year! Rei, a singer-songwriter and guitarist gaining popularity especially among younger generations, has inspired this strap. The color design is coordinated to match her signature electric guitar, the R246, which was itself inspired by the jacket art of her first album, BLU.
In terms of functionality, the strap is equipped with:
　・A pick holder on the front
　・A leather end piece on the back for holding a cable
These features make it a great option for live performances. Pair it with the Rei Signature Guitar for the full experience!

Simple, yet full of presence and attitude, this is a strap you’ll want to experience for yourself.

7. ESP / ES-S-BM-MC / ES-S-BM10 ESPxBABYMETAL Collaboration Strap

The material is a rare choice that’s called terylene (a polyester-based synthetic fiber), which has a smooth, seatbelt-like texture you’ll love. This strap is designed to keep up with the energetic and dynamic movements of live performances.
Enjoy the supple feel and reliable durability that make these straps perfect for any BABYMETAL fan hitting the stage or practicing at home.
