I have quiet some experience with these straps and there are simply amazing! They are really cheap, really comfy and unbelievable durable! I bought a white and yellow one for my broadcaster tele like 6 years ago. Sinds than it had survived a lot of gigs, rehearsals and even tours. But there is one down point for some people. When u use it pretty intense, like i did, some of the colored wire will get loose. This is NOT A LOT and you can easily fix it with a scissor and then it will never happen again. I'm just saying if you are really about a strap that looks 'brand new' for years this is not the strap you want. If you want a strap that is reliable for years and years, a strap that 'ages' with you're guitar or a strap that's just cheap and awesome...this is the one! (and my 4th one)
