Strap in for a Comfy Ride! Original Fuzz Guitar Strap Review

I have recently been in contact with the lovely people at Original fuzz over in Nashville, and last week I received one of their guitar straps to test out. The strap I chose was the Indian Strap in Chino Carpio pattern, and I've loved the look of this unique design with my Gretsch guitar since it arrived.

The Indian Strap range features products which are made from full grain leather with a soft cotton backing, quality materials which have proven to last and I can't see this strap showing any signs of wear any time soon. The strap itself is two inches wide (what I'd call a "normal" strap width) with a thickness of about half a centimetre. The front of the strap is a printed design using techniques which originated in India - the design is hand stamped and is really unique. 

The ends of this strap are in a brown leather of a very high quality. Whilst many straps begin to feel loose over time this one has held up very well. The vintage styling of the ends and the adjustment ring lend this strap a great sense of style - it certainly isn't just a cool pattern on any old guitar strap, it is a very nicely made product which will work great with vintage or vintage style guitars.

This strap is adjustable to 1.65m, which, at it's full extension, is too long for me (and I'm 6ft tall and usually set my guitar quite low) - I tend to have it set with around 25cm of fold over at one end. The cream coloured cotton on the underside of the strap is both comfortable and well styled (nicely matching the off-white binding on my Gretsch), and once slung over your shoulder it doesn't slip around, keeping your guitar sturdily in place.

If you are looking for a uniquely designed quality guitar strap, definitely check out Original Fuzz - they have some really nice looking products and if the Indian Chino Carpio strap is one to go by, they are premium accessories for any guitarist. And they currently offer free shipping to anywhere in the US!
