A lightly distressed little gem, perfect for your favorite 00 as well as any of the smaller acoustics, mandolas, open back banjos, or the new mini-sized electrics and banjos. If you prefer a smaller strap on your dreadnought or telecaster, this one would certainly handle the weight. With the pronounced curve it’ll be quite comfortable attached to a heel button on an acoustic guitar, any of the electrics, or the bracket bolts of a banjo. Not recommended for a headstock attachment.
