    Look, I know it's difficult to trust a review that is all 10's, but seriously, you should buy this strap. It is very solid, has real leather ends, is fully adjustable and it is just a great all around strap. Yeah, I know that it's only a solid black strap, but it is VERY high quality. However, if you are looking for something that is "pretty," this is not the strap for you. It's black, that's all. It does the job, at a great price, and it feels like a high quality product. Enough reading already, go buy one.
    I got the Dunlop D-38 guitar strap a gift. I thought that it was probably just some cheap, crappy strap that I would probably wind up throwing away or giving to another guitarist that was just starting out. Then, after waiting two weeks for it while it was on backorder, I finally got the strap. I could hardly believe the quality of this strap. (Although, I should have known better than to bet against Jim Dunlop.) The strap is made of heavyweight material, has thick leather tabs on the ends and is easily adjustable. I was expecting to throw this strap in the garbage, but it became my main strap!
    I have had this strap for about six months now and have yet to have any problems. It still looks as good as the day it was delievered and the leather ends show no signs of wear. I do use strap locks on the ends, though, so that may have something to do with it.
    When I ordered a set of JD straplocks, I got this strap as a freebie. You can't beat free. If it were lost/stolen, I would actually pay to get another one. Yeah, it's that good.

    I bought this strap mostly because I thought it looked cool, and had seen a lot of pros use it. But I gotta say I was very disapointed. And the so called "Comfort Edge webbing" on it sucks. It makes it feel rough and uncomfortable on your shoulder. At least my shoulder. So overall, I was really dissapointed...

            Comments about Dunlop D-38 Solid Guitar Strap:

            Having used straps ranging from the expensive leather to the cheap $5.99 thin nylon ones, this is on the high end of the nylon ones imo. The nylon has an almost padded feel, it`s thick and strong. Yet the feel of it is soft with rounded edges, something the 'el-cheapos' lack. The stitching where the leather ends attach is good. No worries of it coming apart jeapardising your guitar. I`d use this strap on any of my most expensive guitars without worry.

            After experience with leather straps I prefer a good nylon one as you can wash them. Leather straps stink after a while(sweat). Plus nylon ones don`t stick to whatever you`re wearing like leather ones can. No problem using aftermarket strap locks on the ends.

            Not too much to comment on a guitar strap, I think I covered what matters. I`d highly recommend this one as it may be the best nylon one I`ve ever bought. Costs a little more than a cheapo but this is a good one. This is the strap I`ll buy from now on whenever I need a new one. I have 20 guitars and seems like I lose one from time to time (or someone steals).

              Comments about Dunlop D-38 Solid Guitar Strap:

              The craftsmanship is good with very thick, stiff leather ends. It holds my Les Paul no problem FOR NOW, but I can already see the leather gaining some flexibility around the holes so strap locks will be necessary very soon. The strap itself isn't uncomfortable, but after holding my heavy LP for awhile its not comfortable either. I can live with it, but comfort could be improved with a shoulder pad.

              • Never slips or stretches

              Cons

              • Hard to put on
              • Hard to take off

              Best Uses

                Comments about Dunlop D-38 Solid Guitar Strap:

                All of my basses and guitars have this strap. It's very durable, reasonably comfortable, and it never changes length due to slipping or stretching. I've had one on a bass for 5 or 6 years and it's in roughly the same shape as the one I put on a guitar this weekend.

                The strap is a little stiff at first, but it loosens up after you've used it for a while. The leather on the ends is very stiff at first, so it's pretty difficult to put the strap on initially. It's also hard to take off for a while. If you use hard cases and have to remove the strap, that's a serious con. I prefer gig bags and leave the strap on, so I consider it a pro. I don't need straplocks because this thing isn't coming off.

                If you DO have to take the strap off a lot, it gets easier to take off over time. The first one I had did so, but never got so loose that i felt like I should have straplocks.

                The ends are WAY difficult to take it onn and off the guitar. They are stiff as stone. However, that translates into not letting go of your guitar and dropping it suddenly. I admit, mine is still quite new so, I expect it to get softer over time. It is thick enough, wide enough, and it's heavy duty. Just get ready to bust some finger nails putting it on and taking it off. If you HAVE fingernails, you aren't playing enough anyway. It's a good strap.

                Comments about Dunlop D-38 Solid Guitar Strap:

                This guitar strap is good-quality. It is inexpensive. I like it because it is basic and just what I need in a strap and nothing more.
                This is a basic strap. This is a strong, long, and standard strap.
                This strap is tough. It is made well. Its basic design adds to its performance potential.
                This is a good-quality basic strap for a good price.

                the best buy of all

                Comments about Dunlop D-38 Solid Guitar Strap:

                this is a plain-jane strap that does everything you need a strap to do--hold up your guitar without any surprises. the strap material and end patches are thicker than any similar generic straps i have seen. you may even have to struggle a little to get the end patches over your guitar strap buttons, but once on, this strap isn't coming off. sure, you could spend just as much money for a cheesy strap that will drop your guitar, or a lot more for a strap that makes a statement, but I prefer to think that people are listening to me because they like my music, not because I have a trendy strap. this strap has gone from guitar to guitar, and is still going strong. Congratulations, Jim Dunlop, for another quality product.

                The only problem I have encountered is that the strap is so solid that it doesn't fit into the hard-shell cases of my 12-string SG or my banjo, but that's Gibson's fault. Fender and other cases are no problem.
                this is a solid strap, with a non-scratching nylon buckle and thick leather-like ends to slip over your guitar strap buttons. it comes in every color as long as you want black.
                this strap is sturdier than any other 2" nylon strap I have ever seen. it won't stretch, pull lloose, or take a nosedive because the ends wriggled off your guitar strap buttons.
                I have never seen anything like it for the price, which is minimal.
