Now, this ought to be more stable, but it kept the (that) guitar neck wiggle in and out even more since the strap actually helped to move the headstock in and out all of the time since your body moved while standing.

This strap puts me in perfect playing position while standing. The angle of the neck and the distribution of weight are both a vast improvement over traditional designs. I play a standard 20 fret bass, and my access to all parts of the instrument is now unhindered. Unbeatable, especially at this price point. I would like to thank Troy Dare personally for this design.

But I couldn't get my strap to sit properly: the right-side strap never held any weight, but just slipped off my shoulder (I am a standard right-handed guitarist). Could this be because I like to play with the neck angled very high (unlike the blues guitarist in the photos you linked to)? I'd love to find a way to make the strap work for me.In any event, your blog is wonderful and much-needed. Hi Robert,

The guitar is in a typical position. Keep in mind that the additional shoulder support is a supplement to the normal strap pin positions.

It also doesn't make for easy guitar changes mid-set! I'd sooner plump for a nice, wide cushioned strap - and a light guitar!<br /><br />Rob Fawcett An interesting development, but it does appear to move the playing position of the guitar further to the right, as the front strap button becomes the pivot point.
