SLASHER
Slasher Leather Guitar Strap
The Slasher leather guitar strap is a handmade strap in our signature heavyweight 8/9 oz leather, 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 our signature heavyweight 8/9 oz 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.”

Perfect, exactly what I wanted, very comfortable
Great strap! Now if I could only play like Slash!
PERFECT!
Very happy with the Slasher guitar strap, it’s getting out there love it
I have a custom made guitar a luthier friend made for me, it’s solid mahogany and only weighs 5lbs 12oz. The wood used for the body spent years in a window blocking the sun in a drum shop.
So I thought this strap and my guitar were a match made in heaven. Love the thicker leather and I asked to have the brass monkey placed further down the strap and it was no problem.
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.
I love it! The Slasher is perfect for me, it's minimalistic yet feels very comfortable even with a 9+ pound guitar. It took less than a week to arrive and I ordered on a Sunday night. Will definitely get another for my acoustic.

Really high quality materials and is the perfect strap for me! A lot are very large, bulky, and hard to adjust but this is simple, majestic, and easy to make adjustments. It was also shipped and delivered really quick and came in great packaging. Would highly recommend and will definitely buy more of their products in the future!
Best guitar straps made. Not even close. I own over 20 of them. Super cool to look at and super functional.
Great Craftsmanship!!

Awesome thin guitar strap.
Really subtle but sleek enough to do the trick! Not stiff and not cheap feeling at all! It’s no wonder the experts use them.
かっこいいしシンプルで丈夫で最高のストラップさ！！

My SLASHER strap is killer. Beautifully made, durable and cool as hell. As the lead Singer/Rhythm Guitarist for The Knack, I needed something classic, simple and cool. This is it.
Perfect all around. Excellent craftsmanship and customer service—thank you so much!
Red Monkey makes the best straps!
The best guitar straps!! Top notch leather and buckles.
Great experience as usual. I have ordered straps for all my basses and guitars, every single one has been excellent.
The quality of the strap is fantastic, I would have preferred it to be slightly longer but it’s great.
HA! We can build to whatever length you need. For future orders, all you have to do is let us know your sizing wanted and we'll take care of it.
Thanks again for your support and wishing you and yours the best.
This strap is gorgeous, quality crafted and super stylish. I got a lot more than I expected. Thanks so much Red Monkey!!
