Legacy Guitar Straps

Guitar and animal enthusiasts can be excited now that Legacy Guitar Straps has announced its making all its straps leather free and synthetic.

Company president Gary Merola wrote on the Legacy website, which was also found in a recent press release:

“Prior to founding www.legacystraps.com I had a leather shop that used only the finest vegetable tanned leathers which were then hand tooled, dyed, oiled and made into belts, handbags, hats, holsters and the like. These Leathers were very expensive and while some people might be willing to pay $75 for a Guitar Strap, I wanted to make products that would be available to all musicians, regardless of income. In an effort to make the best possible products we regularly test various materials for the ends of our guitar straps. Due to superiority of the synthetic leather material ALL Legacy Guitar straps will now come standard with Synthetic leather ends. Since no animals are harmed to produce our products we are proud to declare our guitar straps “Cruelty Free” This should be of particular interest to our “Vegan” Customers.”

Mercola goes into detail about the advantages of synthetic and the disadvantages of leather from a quality perspective.

Real leather is often cut unevenly and requires the purchase of a more expensive model for a decent strap, while synthetic is cut uniformly, making it easier to work with and doesn’t turn brittle.
