Harley Benton HBN BK

Hard to get excited about a strap but I've had loads of brands over the years and this performs as good as (if not better than) some more expensive brands.

I've had no problems with discomfort and I own some very weighty guitars, but then I also only play for two to three hours at a time.

I own several of these straps and none of them have ever dropped a guitar. One strap in particular holds an absolute beast, my solid Oak Precision Bass (with standard strap buttons), it copes with this perfectly well. So if your looking for something to tow a truck, this strap will be up to the job!

Adjustment is easy and plenty of it and it's also nice that that they don't self adjust during use. A couple of other brands I've had lengthen themselves during use but I'm happy to report that these don't do that.

I will continue to use these on all my current and future guitars as they work exactly as they should for a very reasonable price.

As with all the Harley Benton products I have bought in the past, definitely recommended.

Oh,and stop sniggering at my Oak P Bass (portable earthquake machine), Iv'e yet to hear another bass that can thump those lows frequencies anywhere near as hard! :)

I haven't had a whole lot of experience with straps in my time, but this is certainly one I would consider to be on the worse end of the spectrum. It gets the job done if you really want something cheap which wont fall apart in a week, but there are a few issues I have with it.

Pro's:
- Material seems to be of decent quality for the price
- Branding is rather tasteful, makes it stand out a bit more than a standard plain strap (that is, if you like the Harley Benton brand)

Con's:
- Strap is rather short, which just about works for me but I could see it being quite a problem for a lot of players
- Strap ends are very poor, I had to cut them open further with a stanley knife in order to fit them on my guitar, this certainly could be a potential failure point in the future
- I can't say I would necessarily trust it with a particularly heavy guitar..

Overall, it's a super cheap strap and you get what you pay for. You can't really do better for the price, but I would generally recommend buying something a bit more expensive to last longer in the long-run.
