ok ill try to described in my best workd .. sorry about poor english

i have a 2004 fender stratocaster u.s.a it came with that strap . http://www.gpdusa.com/img-fender-mono-up.jpg

best strap ever .. cause the interior is a leather -like material that make the guitar hold in place when playing standing up . the leather part that sit on your shoulder make the neck steady when playing . its not slippery .

so when i bought my fender strat jr .. i ordered the same strap .. but the strap i receive is like 15 inch longer if not 20 than the other strap . now the problem is that played at the same height as my previous strap .. the part that end up sitting over my shoulder is not the leather material but whats left of the strap size since its too long .

my good strap lenght is around 52 .. the new one i order is near 70 inch ??? .
WTF .

wouldnt mind if the leather part would hold the guitar in place .. but now since its too long its the other side material ( cotton ?? ) that end up sitting on my shoulder . .and the plastic end up right behind my shoulder os its unconfortable . :(


:(

do they still make the old strap .???

Skysc,

I had the same problem with one of my straps. I took the strap to a person that works in fabric and leather and had it shortened. Just great now.

I think some of the straps are made for physically big people.

Just guessing.

Find someone who can shorten and re-sew it.

Hmmm. Never heard of that problem and I've got a bunch of the Fender monogram Strats.
