Cascha CGS-VC5 Guitar Strap Vegan Cork - Floral Sketch guitar strap

General

You can pay close attention to what you eat and what you wear, and still end up with a strap with leather ends over your shoulder. If you would rather steer clear of leather, there is an alternative that costs you nothing in looks: cork. Cascha uses it for the ends of the CGS-VC5, which means no animal material goes into the strap at all, and cork brings a warm look of its own. This one carries the Floral Sketch design, one of ten designs in the Vegan Straps line. That line runs from dove motifs and colourful flowers to an ethnic pattern and a herringbone pattern, so there is plenty of choice to find something that matches your instrument.

Comfortable to wear, quick to adjust

The longer you play, the more you feel the weight of your guitar in your arms. This strap moves that weight onto your shoulder, so you can keep playing for longer without your arms protesting, whether you are practising at home, sitting in the studio or standing on stage. The width of 5 cm is the golden mean between comfort and stability: wide enough to spread the pressure, narrow enough to stay out of the way. The polyester the strap is made from is wear-resistant and stands up to daily use. Adjustment runs through a metal buckle, which takes you from 89 to 158 cm.
