Preserved in authentic New Old Stock (NOS), unused condition, this Vintage Unbranded 2.5" Wide Saddle Leather Guitar & Bass Strap delivers pure utilitarian durability and stage-ready performance. Cut from a substantial, heavy-duty single hide of full-grain cowhide with raw burnished edges, this unlined strap is designed for players seeking enduring support without the bulk, peeling, or degradation of synthetic padding.
Featuring an ergonomic wide shoulder profile (approx. 2.5"), it provides balanced weight distribution across the shoulder to mitigate fatigue and eliminate neck-dive on heavier solid-body electrics and basses. The natural roughout suede underside grips clothing naturally to keep instruments planted in playing position. Built with a traditional 6-slot woven feed-through ladder tail, the assembly is 100% metal-free, ensuring zero risk of buckle rash, dings, or scratches to delicate guitar finishes. Having never been mounted to an instrument, the strap button keyholes remain pristine, tight, and virgin, with supple leather showing only faint handling character from long-term storage.
