Steel Chain and Leather Guitar Strap, Optional authentic Spikes, Adjustable Length (up to 52"), with Strap Lock

Tired of your regular canvas/synthetic guitar strap and want something more interesting? Do you play guitar or bass in live shows and want to uphold a unique, theatrical appearance? Do you love heavy metal in all of it's awesome forms? If you said yes to any of these then this strap is a perfect gift to yourself, or a friend!

The metal chain is made from bright zinc-plated (BZP) steel, which has a very industrial look and is corrosion resistant. It's 1m (~39") long and has 2 leather "tails", each 15cm (6") long which, combined with the joining links, give a total length of ~135cm (~53") which should be plenty long enough for even the lowest-playing bassists! The length can be easily adjusted on authentic the fly by adjusting where the quick link attaches to the chain. Each strap also comes with a pair of quick-release strap-locks for connecting to the guitar. All you need is a screwdriver to change them over.

Leather tails can either be left plain if you'd prefer a more subtle look, or they come spiked as in the pictures above, or with a custom pattern of your own design! Just send me a picture or a description of the pattern of spikes you'd like in Etsy's messenger along with your order and I'll see what I can do :) I only ask that no more than 15 spikes per tail due to space limitations. Note: the pictures of the spikes and their patterns use some 3D-printed plastic templates to hold the spikes and are for demonstration purposes only. You will receive tails made from leather which is much more durable and looks waay better!

Despite common sense suggesting otherwise, these straps are quite comfy to wear, and has been confirmed by some of my previous customers! They don't dig in anywhere near as much as I first thought, though this may vary from guitar-to-guitar due to their weights and person-to-person due to our varying body builds. I've used one of these straps for ~4 hours straight at band practice each week with my fairly heavy 5-string bass guitar and all was fine apart from a mild ache that lasted for about a day after. This only happened after the first time, so I guess I got used to it. Take care when putting the guitar down though as the chain may smack into the guitar and possibly chip the paintwork! You have been warned.

If you want a specific strap lock colour, the options are: chrome, black or gold. Due to varying stock availability, the style will be random (knock-off Schaller or flat circular), however you can ask for a specific style too and I'll include it if I have it on hand.

Approx. weight: ~550g (~650g incl. leather strips and strap locks),
