Stretch shoulder strap?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey, I've been searching the forums for opinions on a stretch-type shoulder strap, but can't seem to find anything.

I just ordered a Levy 3.5 incher, advertised as having a bit of "give".

Does anyone know of an even better option if I want to spend some money on a good stretch-type shoulder strap for my Fender Jazz Special?
thx

I picked up some Fender straps recently which have neoprene (think wetsuit material) shoulder padding - they've got give

I've got a Comfort Strapp and a Neotech, the Comfort Strapp is a bit more elastic.

Have just taken a look at the Neotech straps and it looks like they might make the Fender ones too.

I've used Comfort Strapps the last few years. Extremely comfortable.
