Hypnotic Straps are absolutely superb for the price. Great Value. Iv gigged regularly for the last 6 years with mine and its still like new.

Love those, but from what I can see the only payment option other than Bank transfer is PayPal and I've cancelled that account after a bad experience a few years back.

I'm pretty sure the paypal option should let you pay by card and they just handle the payment rather than needing an account.

Thanks for that.  I've processed the order by using the non-account method.  They perhaps need to make that clear because if you hadn't pointed it out I'd have looked elsewhere and there could well be more out there like me!

Anyway, I bought this beast!

Nice.   Glad it worked out.    Just check the length though - I like their straps but prefer them a bit longer so I’ve added the extender they sell.

My search stopped here

I’ve only seen the seat belt type for sale,   Have you seen a retailer for the leather ones in the UK?

Thanks, all!  I think the hypnotic one I've let them know about will do nicely for my incoming telecaster. 

I still have more guitars than straps so I might treat myself to another come January; those Souldier Saddle straps are exactly what I was thinking of (the plain ones, I hasten to add!)

Fits perfect, but yes you're right, any person taller than me (6ft 0in) would need an extension. I've not adjusted it, just took it out of the box, put it on, and the bottom of the guitar hangs just below groin level (!), with strings about level with my belt. So, yes, anybody wanting it lower would also need an extension.

The look and quality of it are beyond what I expected.  Absolutely excellent, mega chuffed.  Bought in on the 19th, arrived yesterday, although I was out so picked it up this morning. It needed signing for which was good, none of this leaving it on the doorstep and throwing it over the garden fence nonsense!

Four days wait, for a really excellent quality strap at a decent price, delivered from Poland. Can't get much better than that.
