All I wanted for a heavy Les Paul was something that would spread the weight of the guitar while playing for hours or even while practicing as I stand and all I can say is with this strap I never want to sit because aside from the strap spreading the weight evenly, it snugs onto your body regardless of the shirt you are wearing or even if you are without one like a true rockstar and it has this luxury leather smell but it does wear off if it is something you don't like and it is also has some stiffness to it. just in case you plan on rolling it, it just won't work, and that I'm afraid might just be the only way you can damage the strap otherwise it's super durable and comes in what I would consider a rather nice packaging, and yea one last thing, because of the thick leather material used, it fits the strap buttons perfectly, it's almost as if Gibson designed it for their guitars. And if you have a light guitar this might not the strap for you because there is no weight to spread but it might work for you though but if you got a Les Paul well what are you waiting for? the Les Paul headstock is even designed on the packaging, it's not like a case or a box but it's a nice packaging and I'm sure every Les Paul owners out there would love it, I still haven't gotten rid of mine, that way I can have my beautiful leather strap padded with foam on the wall, just as all things should be.
