The Charm and Usage of "Attacca," Which Transforms Your Belt Into a Guitar Strap

Have you ever thought, "I wish I could use this belt as a guitar strap"?

You're tidying up your closet and your eyes land on your favorite leather belt. Have you ever had thoughts like, "It would look so cool if I could use this as a guitar strap," or "I don't use this anymore, but it's a shame to throw it away..."?

In fact, we at 708works have received many such requests. "Can I turn my grandfather's keepsake belt into a strap?" "I want to use my vintage belt with my instrument." To answer those wishes, we created attacca, an attachment that transforms a belt into a guitar strap.

What is attacca? An item to turn belts into straps with "no modifications"

Attacca is an attachment that turns a fashion belt into an instrument strap simply by attaching it to both ends of your existing belt. The biggest feature is that there is no need to modify the belt at all. No drilling holes or cutting is required; just attach it and you're ready to go. Because you can instantly return it to its original state when you're done, there's no need to worry about damaging your precious belts.

Recommended for:

• Those who want to use their favorite leather belts for playing instruments
• Those who want to keep using keepsake or vintage belts in "active duty"
• Those who want to unify their fashion and playing style
• Those who want a strap that can be used for both guitar and ukulele

Using attacca is very simple

It's surprisingly easy to use. Simply attach an attacca to each end of your belt. From there, you can attach it to your strap pins just like a regular guitar strap and start playing.

Usage tips

Attacca is compatible with belts between 25mm and 40mm wide. You can use it with leather belts, as well as fabric or braided types. For a clean look, we recommend attaching it so the buckle faces outward.

We often get asked, "Can I use this on an acoustic guitar or ukulele that only has one strap pin?" That can be addressed by combining it with our separately sold Onstage adapter.

Our commitment to attacca's materials

At the 708works workshop, we are very particular about the leather used for attacca. We use highly durable cowhide for the parts that come into contact with the instrument. The more you use it, the more character it develops, allowing you to enjoy the aging process right along with your belt.

We have designed it so that the hardware is positioned to minimize any chance of scratching your instrument. Since each piece is assembled by hand, we take great pride in the quality of the details.

Great for these situations

1. When you want to wear your favorite leather belt "even while playing"

Being able to use your favorite fashion belt as a strap is more fun than you might imagine. It also creates a sense of unity with your stage outfit.

2. When you want to use a belt from a loved one for your music

The moment a belt that was tucked away in a drawer because it was "too old" becomes your active "partner" once again. Attacca helps weave those memories into your music.

3. When you suddenly need a strap while traveling or on a business trip

As long as you have a belt, it instantly becomes a strap. It's convenient for jam sessions on the go when you want to pack light.

Attacca: Turning "what a waste" into "what a joy"

Belts you don't use anymore, belts filled with memories, your favorite belts—the role of attacca is to revive them as "active-duty straps." A great benefit is that you can try it out easily since you don't have to modify the belt.

If you have a belt in your collection that you think "would look great as a strap," please give attacca a try. We are certain that the time you spend holding your guitar with your favorite belt will become even more special.
