Hi, This is the strap I use on one of my two Strats: www.hotroxuk.com/levy-s-veg-tan-padded-leather-guitar-strap-burgandy.htmlMy first strap was badged Fender and was made by a manufacturer in Canada. This is soft and very easy on the shoulder (sadly they have ceased production although, perhaps strangely, the Levy's alternative is exactly the same design) whereas the above replacement (also leather) needed a lot of breaking in before I found I'd stopped shifting around to find more comfortable positions. Not really an issue if you play sitting down. Both straps are padded, but the leather on the Levy strap is slightly thicker. Fitting Strap Locks can be a bit of a fiddle and requires the careful use of a mole grip to compress the leather. A cloth inserted between the jaws of the grip protects the leather and washer from being marked. Mike |

Hi John,
I've just checked: including the padding which extends beyond the leather margins the maximum width of my Levy's straps is 3.25inches. They are a tad pricey, but will last for a very long time as they are very well made. A good investment IMHO.
Regards,
Mike

Sorry, can't seem to upload a picture. I have the same strap and it was not classed as a bass guitar strap when I purchased it.
