Guitar and bass players familiar with that end-of-the-gig tight shoulder caused by conventional straps can now find relief with the Yamaha GSAC--the first strap to apply air cell core technology for increased comfort and strength. Made from heavy-duty reinforced black Lycra, the GSAC is fully adjustable from 45" to 52" and is 3" wide. Woven construction ensures that the strap will lie smoothly on the shoulder, move easily on clothing or skin, and wick away moisture.

Multiple, individual encased air cells on the underside of the strap--the same technology used to carry professional photography and video equipment--offer flexibility and cushioning for the heaviest instruments. Each air cell is completely separate from its adjoining cells, making certain that the strap remains fully functional in the event that a single cell becomes punctured.
