Whether you are looking for the vintage style strap that was mandatory for the original rock icons, the British Invasion, or today’s roots-oriented players, or if you just desire simplicity driven by pure function, this strap delivers. We started with vintage styling and imbued it with the Franklin design perspective. The deeply oiled glove leather, mated with natural contrasting stitching, gives this strap an elegant, tailored look that is all business. The leather shoulder pad is backed with the same supple glove leather for extra comfort. We also added our proprietary Franklin styling to the shoulder pad, making the strap distinctive, but subtle.

I ordered my first Franklin Vintage guitar strap when my original Fender strap wore out. It came with my 1957 reissue Stratocaster that I bought over 20 years earlier. The Franklin strap had the same vintage look as the original Fender but it was much higher quality. The leather was much softer and more durable. I later purchased one for my Telecaster and can’t say enough good things about them!

This is an amazing value! As good as it looks, it feels even better, and was a perfect match for my 70s Fender P-Bass. If you buy one, you’ll probably come back to reorder.

This guitar strap is awesome, extremely well made out of premium leather. Soft with nice padding, I have had several guitar straps but this is by far the best I have ever had. Customer service is great with very fast shipping. I thought my G&L Custom Bluesboy should have a quality strap, now it does. I will be buying another now that I know how great these straps are.

I give you 5 stars. I ordered a strap and found it to be comfortable, attractive and very reasonably priced. I’ve seen much higher priced straps that were no nicer than yours.
