What is the stepless adjustment feature of the Duet guitar strap? Solving your playing-related concerns
Struggling to find the "perfect length"?
"I want it just a little bit shorter, but the next hole makes it too low," or "My ideal position is different when standing versus sitting"—adjusting a guitar strap is surprisingly complex. While hole-style straps are convenient, their inability to be adjusted minutely is a common frustration. Especially during a live performance, if you think, "I want it just 1cm higher," you can't exactly stop playing to change it.
The solution to this "can't quite scratch the itch" problem for guitarists is a stepless adjustment system. In this post, we’ll introduce the appeal of this system and take a look at the popular "duet" model from 708works.
What makes stepless adjustment so great?
As the name suggests, stepless adjustment is a mechanism that allows you to stop at any position you like, without being limited by "steps" (holes). Conventional hole-style straps only offer as many length variations as there are holes. This means that if your "perfect spot" happens to fall between two holes, you are forced to compromise forever.
Who needs stepless adjustment?
- Those who want to change the length when switching between standing and sitting
- Those who want to change the guitar's position depending on the song
- Those who are particular about fine-tuning by just a small amount
- Those who switch between multiple guitars
Once you experience this comfort, you can never go back to hole-style straps—that’s a sentiment we hear often as artisans.
