Planet Waves Dare Guitar Strap  

i bought this and the other adjustable strap (the slider.) don't bother with the slider. this, on the other hand is the best fifteen dollars i've spent in years. it has multiple adjustments and not only does it do what it says, you can adjust your guitar the that perfect angle you've always wished for. it will actually make you play better. i can reach certain scales with so much more ease and comfort. buy it, you won't regret it.

I have an artificial disc in my neck and I need two more. Anything that would transfer load to the right shoulder is a big deal for me. In every case when I adjusted this strap so that some weight was on the right shoulder then the guitar was pulled to far back toward my left hip. And even if I was willing to compromise on the guitar position (Which I am not) most of the weight is still on the left side regardless of any attempts to adjust the strap otherwise.

If you own any of the other planet wave nylon straps, guess what?  You can do this already!  Shorten your strap so that your loop is big enough to stick your head through.  Make sure the loop you stick your head through is large enough so you don't choke.  I have been doing this for the past 5 years.  You do not need this strap. 

I bought this despite reading the other reviews.  It is turning out to be a waste of money. I have a shoulder injury and was hopeful that this strap might relieve that shoulder by spreading the guitar's weight to both shoulders. Using this strap for the last 2 hours, I find that my back is very tired.  My left shoulder remained burdened by most of the guitar load.  Also, I can't comfortably hold the guitar as I am used to. The fabric used is very sharp on the edges and it would cut into your neck, as suggested by the other reviewers.

Very rough. Irritates my neck too much. I just wear t-shirts, so.... Wear a hoodie you might be alright, because it does distribute the weight nicely. That is once you get the straps properly adjusted, and if you haven't decapitated your self! Haha :)
