"Franklin Straps are the best!!"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I buy a strap for each of my guitars, and I don't expect I will ever have to replace this strap, the quality of the strap, as well as the workmanship used to make it equal a strap that will last forever. But I may replace the Levy's straps I own with Franklin Straps.

Features
It's a guitar strap...
Ease of Use
Well you attatch one end to one strap button....
Quality
The engraved silver medallion is very elegant, as is the southwest strip of beadwork, and the cut of the leather strap as well. Not to mention the beautiful soft grained leather they use to make their straps. But the thing I like about it the best, is it's extra length. I am a big guy, and most "off the rack" straps are too short for me, even on the last notch.
Value
Very much worth the money in my opinion. Some reviews think these straps are a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. If you want a cheap strap, buy a cheap strap; if you want a good strap, buy a Franklin.

Should I want another guitar strap, for any reason, I will look at Franklin products before looking elsewhere.

Quality leather, thick -- but supple. No problem putting Dunlop strap locks on it.

Quality
This product is made very well, no loose threads. Sometimes even real leather has an artificial look to it -- not this strap. It's appearance is that of a strap costing much more.
Value
This strap is definitely worth the price.

Verified Customer

I have bought many guitar straps over the years and this one is by far, one of the most comfortable and the best looking guitar strap. Quality is hard to find today and this is old school quality.

"A FITS JUST RIGHT STRAP !!!"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I have a short neck and high neck muscle rise so wide straps just ride up and into my neck and are no good for me at all. I have one old cork strap 1 3/4" wide which is perfewct for me so I keep changing it to each guitar I play (4) and so I always worried about damage to it or just wearing it out. It is very hard to replace but this new 2" from Franklin works very well.It is extremly well made and sits well on my neck. I now have 3 of them and if I ever need another one I would quickly buy more and readily advise them to others.TRY'em YOU'll LIKE'em !!! ..... Owen.

"Great Guitar Straps"
Verified Customer

The Southwest Leather Straps are great. The leather is soft, yet the strap is plenty sturdy. The design with the beads and concho are unique and go well with my two Stratocasters.
