Guitar Strap Length Comparison

Commom Guitar Strap Length

59 inches guitar strap is a very commom guitar strap length. Beetwen 55 and 60 inches can be considered a standard guitar strap length for any stringed instrument, such as electric, acoustic, bass guitar, banjo, etc.

Probably mandoline players no need the strap to be as long as guitarists, probably 40 to 50 inches is long enough for them. But also consider that we are speaking about Adjustable Straps , with metal buckle, It mean that a 60 inches guitar strap can be adjusted at it's minimum, around 35 to 36 inches, so, It can be used also for mandoline players without troubles.

Long Guitar Straps up to 65 Inches and More

Guitar straps with more than 65 inches can be considered long guitar straps. A very common size for a long guitar strap is 70 inches and also sometimes 72 inches. These are already very long guitar straps. These are used commonly for tall guitarists, also for bass players, that very often like to use longer straps than guitarists. Sometimes also for musicians that like to hang their instruments  and play It low.
