Using this Fender guitar strap is easy. Just adjust the strap to your preferred length between 46' and 54'. Put it around your shoulder and attach it to your guitar. The large neoprene pad should rest on your shoulder for maximum comfort. When it comes to maintenance, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth to keep it clean. Avoid exposing it to extreme heat or sharp objects that could damage the neoprene or the leather ends. Also, don't pull the strap too hard when adjusting to prevent wear and tear on the reinforced pads.
