DISCOVER COMFORT. DISCOVER CONTOUR STRAP

Are you a bassist or guitarist struggling with discomfort caused by heavy guitars or basses? Have the years of playing been unkind to your hands and shoulders? Maybe you have a larger neck and need a different strap solution. This strap is for you. Many of us have seen great players quit performing and touring as much due to the pain of using traditional straps. This does not have to happen to you. Experience numbness in your fingers and hand cramps no more. Say goodbye to ineffective straps that don't provide long-lasting comfort. We didn't just put cushion under an ancient strap design and call it comfortable. We revolutionized and patented (29/838.362) a new design of guitar strap. We did it because we at ContourStrap were tired of the pain introduced by traditional straps. Our founder realized that if he continued playing regular straps, he would have to quit playing. Inspired by this, he began prototyping ideas, many of them including several strap parts. This did not work well, so he decides to find a simple solution, one that could be easily folded and threw into a gig bag. He took an expensive famous-label leather strap and cut on it until his hands quit hurting when he played. As it turns out, the answer was simple and found in a re-defined strap contour. A leather sewing machine, two years of R&D and one patent later, here we are.

Introducing the ContourStrap, a chiropractor-approved handmade leather strap that relieves pressure on neck and shoulder nerves. Stay stylish while reducing arm and shoulder pain related to guitar playing. Don't let neck, shoulder, or hand pain stop you from playing. Discover relief and enjoy more time playing with ContourStrap.

PLAY WITH RELIEF

Midnight Soul's bassist/keyboardist Ryne Osborne tries one of the early prototypes to prove the concept. Check out how the strap gives his neck room to move without being pinched. If you are a player that plays with his instrument shifted slightly left, you will feel even more comfort. Ryan has pulled his bass to the right to check the results of the contour. ContourStrap passed the test.
