How to Repurpose a Fender Strap for a Camera Bag | Using Your Favorite Guitar Strap for Daily Carry with Backstage

"It’s a waste to only use your guitar strap for live performances"

Whether it’s a vintage-style Fender strap or a favorite one you’ve meticulously chosen, have you ever felt that it’s a shame such a great design only gets to see the light of day in the studio or at live music venues?

Born from the desire to "incorporate them more into everyday fashion" and "wear them while walking around town," the "Backstage" series is a hidden gem from 708works.

What is Backstage? An attachment that lets you repurpose your guitar strap without any modifications

Backstage is an attachment that lets you turn any store-bought guitar strap into a camera or shoulder bag strap just by attaching it to both ends.

• No need to cut or punch holes in your guitar strap at all
• Easy installation takes anywhere from a few seconds to less than a minute
• Easily switch it back to a guitar strap whenever you want

In other words, you can repurpose your precious Fender strap as an everyday fashion item without ever damaging it.

It’s very simple to use

Just attach the Backstage attachments to both ends of your strap. For bags, use the included hardware to attach it as a shoulder strap; for cameras, it clips onto the camera's split rings with a one-touch mechanism.

The camera version, in particular, uses a 10mm nylon belt that is compatible not only with standard split-ring cameras but also with FUJIFILM-style lugs (types without split rings). It’s a perfect match for film cameras and mirrorless digital cameras.

A perfect match for Fender and vintage-style straps

Fender’s woven straps and leather vintage-style straps look fantastic when paired with film cameras, mirrorless cameras, sacoches, and canvas bags.

You can naturally incorporate that unique, guitarist-style attention to detail into your everyday look. Whether you're heading to a cafe, out for a walk, or traveling—why not take your favorite strap along for the ride?
