The DSL GES strap features special density 15mm foam padding inserted between the top and backing in the "sweet spot" from the back shoulder-blade to the front shoulder, absorbing instrument weight and providing suspension for extra playing comfort. Each strap is available in a variety of stitching and backing colours. The stitching colour is matched with the colour of the premium quality suede backing. Each strap is handmade in Australia from hand-sourced highest quality leather. The top of each strap is made from tough but supple medium weight leather, while the backing is top-quality suede for strap and shoulder position stability. All leather is double stitched for extra strength. A classic tough interweave tail is fitted for adjusting strap length.
