SLASHER
Slasher Leather Guitar Strap
The Slasher leather guitar strap is a handmade full-grain leather strap built for electric and bass guitars.
Designed for comfort, balance, and durability, it’s built to handle real weight on stage or in the studio.
The Red Monkey Slasher guitar strap is the strap of choice for many guitarists. Slash of Guns N’ Roses and Joe Perry of Aerosmith have both chosen this as their strap of choice.
Many players think a wider strap is required when playing a heavy guitar like a Gibson Les Paul or Fender bass, but the Red Monkey Slasher strap proves that theory wrong.
The Slasher Strap Exception
On paper, narrow straps shouldn't work well with heavy guitars.
Most players assume a Les Paul or bass always needs a wider strap for comfort and support.
The Slasher proves there are exceptions.
At 3/4" wide, the Slasher is narrow, fast, and unmistakably rock-and-roll. But because it is built from premium full-grain leather with a solid cast buckle and balanced construction, it performs far beyond what its width suggests.
That is why players looking for a classic narrow strap still choose the Slasher for serious instruments.
Verified Slasher Guitar Strap Reviews
Jessica Les Paul / Comfort
“I recently purchased a "Jessica" Les Paul and wanted to try the Slasher guitar strap.... ordered with pre-cut strap lock holes. It fit the strap locks perfectly and is super comfortable.”
Scott HayesLes Pauls / High-Quality Leather
“I bought two of these for my Les Pauls and I love them. Ample room to adjust to your body. And they are more comfortable than I expected. The leather is of high quality which you would see for horse reins. Try one out for yourself.”
Eric S.Three Slasher Straps
“I have three Slasher straps, one for each Les Paul. Funny thing is I used to think that heavy guitar require thin straps. Well I was very wrong. The straps are a bit stiff, when new, but just roll them around with just your hands for a few minutes and they become supple enough.”
