    Default Neotech Strap

    Anybody use one? My kid has a saxophone strap that's very similar, super comfortable.

    Hello Chris, I Have used them for years and have never had a problem. I actually have them on two mandolins. They are comfortable, really easy to attach and detach using the plastic clips, they have never scratched of the finish. In fact, of all the dings and knocks my mandolin has had, none of them can be blamed on the Neotech strap

    I used one for a couple of years, and it's still on my back-up mandolin. I liked the shoulder pad, it seemed to keep the instrument from sliding around on my shoulder as much. Now that I'm thinking about it, I might try it out on my current ax. I've been using a braided leather Lakota.

    I especially like them on my electrics. Totally and completely adjustable and really comfortable.

    Thanks. I saw some of the old threads but figured maybe someone had something to add in the last 5 years.

    I put one on my tenor banjo after seeing Enda Scahill using one, and I love it.I usually play sitting down but even then it helps stabilize the banjo and prevents neck dive.

    I use them on my home bound instruments and find them both comfortable and easy to detach for casing my instruments. The only reason I don’t use them on my travel instruments is because they don’t have a pick pocket. I also like the prominent made in USA patch.

    They are nice but don’t easily fit in any of my acoustic cases. I use it with my mandoblaster which resides in a gig bag.

    I've used one for awhile. They are comfortable and adjustable. They attach securely around a scroll or the headstock for an A style. Lately my strap pin has been slipping out of the leather tabs. Makes for an exciting challenge to catch the mandolin before it falls.

    I've ordered a Bailey strap.

    I got one for my strap buttoned A5. they pack a 3rd, loop end, to use that scroll strap hanger.

    I have an installed PU jack -button, that is secure .. also ,
    I added a stitch to the neck button end,
    to close up that opening on that strap end hole.

    I used one for a while but seemed like too much strap for a mandolin. I prefer a thin round braided one that will stay on in the case and more comfortable in my opinion. However, they are greatly comfortable on heavier instruments.
