Daddario 50PLL00 Guitar Strap

Ostin tuotteen, koska se näytti hauskalta ja erilaiselta, mutta jouduin pettymään. Hihnan lukot ovat aivan liian suuret. Ei mahdu kitaroihin, joiden hihnakiinnitys on bodyssa kaulan takana (SG-tyyli), tai akustisiin, joissa remmi kiinnitetään plugijakkisysteemiin. Kaiken lisäksi nahka tuntuu hieman halvalta hintaansa nähden. Toimii varmasti stratojen sun muiden kanssa, missä hihna kiinnitetään muutenkin järkevämpiin paikkoihin. Itse en omista stratoa sun muuta, niin en voi suositella.

First off, about its quality: this strap follows all other Planet Waves straps I've ever come into contact with, as they are all of excellent quality. I really can't ever find any little thing to blame these straps for, they are always very well made and of great durability and quality.

However, there's a small catch with this particular strap, and this has to do with the fact that it has leather. To be more exact, the bottom part of the strap - the one that is in touch with your body - is made of a fabric that tends to stick on clothes. As a result, this strap doesn't allow very easy manoeuvres, as it sticks on any position you initially lay it on your shoulder and doesn't slide from that, except if you pick it up with your hand and adjust its position while keeping it away from your clothes.

This can prove either good or bad, depending on the situation. For instance, the guitar I now use this strap on is a neck-heavy guitar, meaning that if I had a non-leathery-sticking strap, the guitar would constantly slide to the neck-down position every time I moved, a nuisance that is prevented by this strap. So for this situation, this strap is just perfect.

All in all, it is a very durable strap, very good build quality, but it only has this little quirk I previously described. If this is something you would like, go for it. If not, look for any other non-leather Planet Waves locking strap, as it will suit you better.

This strap is made of real leather and if it fits your guitar you will not need strap locks. It's hit or miss, though. The locking ends are plasticy and bulky and I could not make them fit my acoustic Ibanez guitar at all. With my Ibanez RG they fit into place, but because of how the strap knob is attached to the body the inside of the bulky end was constantly rubbing against the paint. Now there is a soft rubber padding on the thing, but I was afraid that after the rubber wears out it's going to start digging into the paint job. That's why I ended up buying a normal strap and a pair of strap locks in the end.
