Using this Fender guitar strap is a breeze. First, attach the strap to your guitar. When you want to adjust the length, just pull the handle of the RipChord Technology™. Pull down on the tab to make the strap shorter and up to make it longer. You can do this while wearing the guitar. Remember to keep the strap clean. You can gently wipe it with a soft cloth if it gets dirty. Avoid exposing it to sharp objects that could damage the rayon material. Store it in a dry place when not in use. This way, your strap will stay in great condition and keep you rocking for a long time.
