Product reviewsPlanet Waves / D'Addario Guitar Strap Shoulder Pad PW-FSP-1

MIGHT WORK FOR YOU.

This might be helpful if you have a light guitar. I bought mine because my thirteen pound Les Paul was killing me with a 2" strap. This pad didn't help. In all fairness as heavy as my L.P. is I was not surprised that it didn't help. I ended up buying a 3 1/2" wide padded strap and it still feels heavy but not to the point of being painful. I now use this pad with my much lighter Les Paul II and I find it comfortable and enjoyable. So bottom line, heavy guitar equals 3 1/2" to 4" strap. This pad might be worth a try as it is less expenceive than buying a new wider strap but don't count on it.Read full review...

Is the pad worth the price?

The padding is ok, but the whole pad does slip on the strap. If it could stay in place, it would be better. For $10-$12 bucks, it's worth a try. Low quality material and I hope it will hold up over the years. Only time will tell.Read full review...

Nice look but uncomfortable

It would be a nice strap if it was just a padded strap. The air filled squares are very uncomfortable. You can feel the corners of each Square pressing into your shoulder. Not comfortable at all

A bit narrow

A bit narrow to fit through a regular guitar strap, but with a little cajoling you can get it through.
It has 'air bubbles' that create the suspension.
Personally I don't find it very comfortable, but that's me.Read full review...

I really like it

It's much better than a non-padded shoulder pad and you can't go wrong for the price. I mated this with a cheap Ernie Ball strap with Schaller strap locks and it's as nice as any other expensive strap setup.Read full review...
