Gibson Guitar Accessories - The Safety Strap
The Gibson Safety Strap is one of Gibson’s recently patented guitar accessories.
This 2 inch-wide electric guitar strap is made out of nylon and like all of the Gibson gear, it is of ” decent ” quality.
The side of the strap is wrapped with leather to prevent fraying and the strap itself will set you back $15 USD, perhaps a little less if you buy it from an online guitar accessories shop.
With any guitar strap, you should NEVER go without strap locks, and the same goes for this Gibson Safety Strap. When I put this on my guitar, it felt secure enough but after a while, the strap holes would work itself loose and I’m pretty sure sooner or later, my Les Paul would just slip out. So strap locks are a must-have!
The straps come in two colors: Black and red. I would personally recommend the black one as the red one seems to be super bright in normal lighting conditions and looks a bit too outstanding for my likings.
On the comfort side, I’d give it an 8/10. I had my Gibson guitar hanging off my shoulders for an hour of so with this strap and it didn’t hurt. I wouldn’t call it the most comfortable of straps but it is pretty decent. I still prefer my leather Martin guitar strap compared to the Gibson. For the price though, I wouldn’t complain.
