DAT STRAP™ SETUP GUIDE
How to Adjust, Fit & Care for Your Dat Strap™
A simple guide to help you adjust the length, attach your strap securely, fit it to acoustic guitars, and care for the leather over time.
GUITAR FITTING
Adjusting the Strap Length
Dat Strap™ uses a traditional feed-through adjustment system made from two parts: the main strap and the narrower adjustment strap.
1
Choose Your Length
Select the hole on the main strap that gives your preferred playing height.
2
Thread the Adjustment Strap
Feed the adjustment strap through your chosen hole on the main strap.
3
Loop Back Through
Pass the adjustment strap back through the next hole to secure it.
4
Pull Snug
Weave through the remaining holes and gently tighten the strap.
GUITAR FITTING
Attaching Your Strap to Guitar Strap Pins
Dat Strap™ leather guitar straps are designed for a secure fit. The strap pin holes may feel firm at first, especially on the smaller adjustment strap. If the leather feels tight during the first few uses, gently work the leather around the strap hole to soften it slightly before fitting.
ACOUSTIC GUITARS
Fitting to an Acoustic Guitar with One Strap Pin
If your acoustic guitar only has one strap pin, you can attach the other end of the strap around the headstock using a strong lace or cord.
LEATHER CARE
Caring for Your Dat Strap™
Avoid Heat
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat or sunlight.
Keep Dry
Keep away from excessive moisture or damp conditions.
Protect the Suede
Do not apply leather treatment products to the suede underside.
Natural Softening
The leather will naturally soften and become more flexible over time.
Your strap has been sealed during production, but as with many leather products, slight dye transfer may occur during early use, especially against light clothing.
