General FAQs

Are your products suitable for all types of guitars?

Yes, our straps and accessories are designed to be compatible with a wide range of guitar types, including electric, acoustic, and bass guitars.

Are your camera straps suitable for all types of cameras?

Yes, our Camera Straps are compatible with Analog, Reflex, and DSLR cameras. The adjustment straps are 0.4" wide (10mm). If they can't fit through your Camera Strap Loop, you can add a key fob ring, just like they did in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

What materials are your guitar straps made from?

Our guitar straps are made from high-quality materials such as premium leather, fabrics, woven jacquard ribbons, cotton, and synthetic recycled fibers to ensure durability and comfort.

We don't make "vegan" or faux leather straps because they tend to wear out quickly and are often made from plastics, which are less durable and less environmentally friendly in the long run.

Do HipStrap products come with a guarantee?

Yes, we offer a Limited Lifetime Guarantee to the original purchaser, ensuring that your musical journey is backed by our commitment to excellence. Learn more about it here!

Can I apply for a HipStrap Artist Endorsement?

We are a small business and do not pay artists/musicians to use our products.  We do have an official Artist endorsement/sponsorship program that offers meek discounts on our products.  

If you’d like to apply for an official HipStrap Endorsement / Sponsorship Program, please check the Artist Endorsement Page and follow the instructions.
