Walsall Hand Made Premium Padded Bridle Leather Guitar Strap: Claret Red

Beautiful quality aesthetic and very functional strap

Beautiful Strap. Heavy to the feel, but surprisingly comfortable when wearing it. The holes needed some cutting to make them fit over the strap buttons, but once done the fit was snug and secure. Definitely a strap for life, and the range means you can find one that easily compliments the woods of your guitar.

Superb strap! Probably the best I've found. The best bit is the smell! Feels like I'm saddling up every time I strap on the Gretsch Falcon! Very comfortable and high attention to detail. Worth the investment!

Beautiful quality & adjustability.
As I Work in Walsall the history of leather trade, I was drawn to them.

Really well made, and comfortable..

Beautifully made and very comfortable to wear even with a heavy guitar, Les Paul.

The guitar strap is actually a present for my Granddaughter, so I haven't used it at all.
I was fascinated by the evident quality of the Walsall bridle-leather straps and the range of colours. The video , detailing their manufacture by skilled artisans, from premium leathers, sold me on the idea of buying one as a present and chose one in the Leaf Green colour. Although the birthday is some months away, I decided to order immediately. ( FOMO? 😄🤦‍♂️ )
On receipt of the strap, I was not disappointed. This is a top-quality, British handmade product, which should give many years of service, and of which I'm sure my Granddaughter will be well pleased.

The strap is of very high quality, the perfect accompaniment to my new Gordon Smith stat

Beautiful guitar strap that my husband is really pleased with. I was unable to get the one I originally wanted, but was kept well informed of the latest stock coming in and chose another that he is really happy with. Great product and service. Thank you very much :)

I I also purchased a Walsall guitar strap which came at a later date as they are hand made. I have not used or tried it yet but first impressions are that it is a great piece of craftsmanship.

This is the second Walsall guitar strap I gave bought from Richards Guitars. They are lovely, great quality, stitching is perfect, and super comfortable. Highly recommend.

Great service, high quality, well set up.

The strap is lovely, it just took some getting. Thanks to Jon and Jake for their cheerful assistance.

Amazing quality strap. Comfortable and looks great. Not cheap but worth it.

Quality leather strap. Not cheap but very nicely made.

Wonderfully made strap. Material and detailing are excellent. Schaller strap locks fit perfectly. The only surprise was the way the adjustment section fit into the main strap- I expected it to lock-in through a slot on itself somehow, like most of my straps.

Beautiful leather strap, you can also smell the
leather when its around you neck.
I play sitting down so why would want a strap.

The strap gives you the security that the guitar will
not fall off your knee, and the guitar will not move
while you are playing.

Expensive yes, but worth every penny, have
expensive guitar do not want a cheap strap.

When I went to collect my strap I had booked my
guitar in with Chris for a full setup, brilliant service
had a bit of a buzz on the top string, personally
had no idea how to cure it, no problem to Chris
and my guitar plays very nicely now. Dropped
my guitar off around 10 am and went back to collect
at 1 pm. Highly recommended

This strap is pricey yes, but its hand made with the finest soft bridal leather and is of the highest quality and fits securely on to my FGX5 and is very comfortable. The strap is extremely well designed, it has slots and three button wholes which allow it to be configured to your preferred length to support your guitar. Mine is the Racing Green colour and it is really nice and I am certain I will come back for a couple more of these for my other guitars. Highly recommended and worth every penny!

I usually go for lighter straps but decided to have a try. Very comfortable. Actually bought it for an acoustic but seemed unbalanced to have such a meaty thing on a gentle instrument. Very good for a v heavy old Gretsch hollow body.

About as good as a strap can get, I reckon.

Great leather strap and made in the West Midlands

good quality

Excellent strap. However, I need to change or extend the rear strap button on the Auden guitar as the leather is so thick, it doesn’t go over the button and just sits on it. Are extenders available?

I’ve been searching for the perfect guitar strap to put on my Martin OME Cherry. This handmade and padded strap in dark brown with cream colored stitching is a perfect match. I live in the States and was concerned about shipping. The strap arrived in perfect condition. The leather is glove soft and the leather is without blemish. I highly recommend these straps.

First class quality leather with an excellent finish. Love the orange stitching which works well with my Faith blood moon acoustic.

Just what it says on the description, it is a premium quality padded bridle. Worth every penny, the padding stops the guitar sliding about when playing standing up.

The quality of this strap is out of this world. It is expensive for a strap so my expectations were sky high. I am blown away by the quality of the leather and craftsmanship of the strap. It is so comfortable to wear for hours even with a heavy guitar due to the excellent padding. The strap looks and feels amazing. If you are undecided to buy this due to the cost, do not hesitate. You will be thrilled.

..... and you get what you pay for! This is a really quality strap - looks, feels (and smells!) gorgeous! Expertly made, it was accompanied by knowledgeable, speedy and courteous service from the excellent Richards shop team.

I am blown away by the quality and comfort of the Walsall strap. The leather is beautiful, stunning. The padding makes this the most comfortable strap I have ever used. The texture on the inside means it stays in place and doesn't slip at all. Even the stitching is stunning. I don't normally notice things like that! Yes, it's a luxury but worth every penny. If you are undecided about buying this strap, do not hesitate.

Great strap
