Daddario 50CT01 Guitar/Bass Strap

I placed it on a Tele as a substitute for a nylon strap with a cracked synthetic end piece. I adjusted the length, played the guitar, and after a while I noticed I had forgotten about the new strap. That's because it does nothing at all to disturb the player, just holds the axe, stays on the shoulder where you put it first, and that's all.

The thick texture is more comfy than thin nylon, and the warm white look is beautiful, and it's a nice match for the vintage colors of the Tele, but looks young. It grips the clothes well, doesn't make friction noise, and doesn't cost much. Only positive things to say.

Nylon straps are cheap but almost unbearable to wear for extended periods of time. If leather and suede are out of your price range, a cotton strap might be your best bet. The main downside to cotton straps is that they're harder to keep clean than nylon. Other than that, they're great! To my knowledge, Planet Waves 50CT01 is currently the most affordable cotton strap on the market. It is made in Canada and made rather well. Sure, the leather ends are not as heavy-duty as I'd hoped and the stitching could be better, but that's hardly surprising at this price point. If you want higher quality and don't mind paying twice as much, check out Levy's cotton straps.

This little Strap is worth its money.

The holes are strong and fit perfectly. The strap adjusts nice and easy.

The colour suits well with vintage instruments, especially red ones ;)

I would not recommend this strap for everyday use over a long time, because of its pretty narrow profile it starts to hurt your shoulder after a while, if you play an havy instrument like a bass or electric guitar. For acoustic instruments, its very good!

Like i said in the title, you can have this one in your Gigbag and use it whenever you or somebody else forget its usually used strap. Its so small that it will fit into almost every gigbag.
