Sound: N/A Feature: Quality leather, thick -- but supple. No problem putting Dunlop strap locks on it. Ease of Use: N/A Quality: This product is made very well, no loose threads. Sometimes even real leather has an artificial look to it -- not this strap. It's appearance is that of a strap costing much more. Value: This strap is definitely worth the price. Manufacturer Support: N/A The Wow Factor: This strap has a southwestern appeal that is classic, not overdone. Very timeless design. Overall: Should I want another guitar strap, for any reason, I will look at Franklin products before looking elsewhere.

Sound: N/A Feature: It's a guitar strap... Ease of Use: Well you attatch one end to one strap button.... Quality: The engraved silver medallion is very elegant, as is the southwest strip of beadwork, and the cut of the leather strap as well. Not to mention the beautiful soft grained leather they use to make their straps. But the thing I like about it the best, is it's extra length. I am a big guy, and most "off the rack" straps are too short for me, even on the last notch. Value: Very much worth the money in my opinion. Some reviews think these straps are a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. If you want a cheap strap, buy a cheap strap; if you want a good strap, buy a Franklin. Manufacturer Support: Never had to find out. The Wow Factor: Yeah, it's real nice. I think I've said that... Overall: I buy a strap for each of my guitars, and I don't expect I will ever have to replace this strap, the quality of the strap, as well as the workmanship used to make it equal a strap that will last forever. But I may replace the Levy's straps I own with Franklin Straps.

Overall: I have bought many guitar straps over the years and this one is by far, one of the most comfortable and the best looking guitar strap. Quality is hard to find today and this is old school quality.

Overall: I have a short neck and high neck muscle rise so wide straps just ride up and into my neck and are no good for me at all. I have one old cork strap 1 3/4" wide which is perfewct for me so I keep changing it to each guitar I play (4) and so I always worried about damage to it or just wearing it out. It is very hard to replace but this new 2" from Franklin works very well.It is extremly well made and sits well on my neck. I now have 3 of them and if I ever need another one I would quickly buy more and readily advise them to others.TRY'em YOU'll LIKE'em !!! ..... Owen.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
