sparkospunky's Full Review: Ernie Ball 2" Poly Strap
I've been using the Ernie Ball 2" Guitar Strap for many years now, and I can attest to the durability of this strap. Sure, you can spend an unlimited amount of money and get fancy leather straps with engravings, etchings and even precious gems, but if you're a working musician who is looking for durability, comfort and utility at a very reasonable price, the Ernie Ball 2" Guitar Strap certainly deserves a look-see.
This strap is 2 inches wide and made of polypropylene, a synthetic fabric that I know nothing about, but it bears a resemblance to nylon. The ends of strap are black leather, with holes wide enough to accomodate almost any guitar endpin. It doesn't matter whether you wear your guitar slung low like Angus Young, or if you wear it up around your neck like George Harrison did--the strap is easily adjustable and has a length range of 38 inches to 68 inches. Other than the Ernie Ball name emblazoned in gold on one of the leather ends, there are no other cosmetics. This is a pretty pedestrian looking accessory, but it more than makes up for its Plain Jane look in other areas.
The Ernie Ball 2" Guitar Strap is comfortable--the width of two inches distributes the weight load of a guitar on your shoulders very well and will help the working musician endure those long gigs with that heavy guitar just a little bit better. The poly fabric that makes up the strap is sturdy and durable, and my straps have yet to show any wear or fraying, despite being used for literally hundreds of gigs and soaking up a couple of thousand gallons of perspiration. The leather ends do their jobs too--they are sewn securely to the strap, and the holes in them have yet to break or even exhibit much wear.
I have three of these straps that I keep secured to my working guitars with strap locks, and since I'm probably getting close to the end of my career as a working musician, I fully expect the Ernie Ball 2" Guitar Strap to see me out the door in fine shape. This strap is not fancy, but it delivers in the utility and durability department, and it's a great idea for the working musician.
