The DSL GEP Strap features a special rolled piping added to each edge of the top leather made from medium weight leather. The result is a strap with no hard edge to dig into your shoulder, catch on your clothes or on your instrument. The extra width also helps spread the weight of the instrument over more of your back, shoulder blade and collar, reducing shoulder fatigue. Each strap is available in a variety of stitching and backing colours. The stitching colour is matched with the colour of the full-grain garment leather backing. Each strap is handmade in Australia from hand-sourced highest quality leather. The top of each strap is made from tough but supple medium weight leather, while the backing is extra soft and comfortable full-grain garment quality leather. All leather is double stitched for extra strength. A classic tough interweave tail is fitted for adjusting strap length.
