The HTML page is the same URL with the trailing index.md removed (the home page is https://setliststraps.com/ and its markdown twin is https://setliststraps.com/index.md). Every page in the sitemap has a twin at its URL plus index.md, and the whole site is in one file at https://setliststraps.com/llms-full.txt, the twins concatenated in the order of this file. The checkout screens (/cart/, /thank-you/, /order/, /review/) have no twin, and /api/ and /admin are closed in robots.txt. A guessed .md path answers a plain-text 404 that names this file.

The strap, facts as of 14 September 2026, the day these facts were last checked against the maker's listing and the shop's terms (the file itself is dated by its Last-Modified header): the maker is Soldier, a guitar strap brand in China; Setlist Straps is the UK retailer, not the maker. The strap is two layers of cowhide stitched together with a suede-finish back, no padding, one strap-button hole at each end, about 200 g. It comes in one adjustable size, set through a row of slots on the tail; the width, the exact adjustment range and the leather thickness have not been confirmed by the maker, so no figure is published for any of them (asked 14 September 2026). It fits any guitar or bass with two strap buttons; an acoustic with a single tail button needs a headstock tie or a fitted neck button first. The shop sells this one strap and nothing else: no strap locks, headstock ties, balm, gift boxes or custom straps.

Price and terms as of 14 September 2026: £54.95 in every color (black, dark brown, tan, white), in pounds sterling; the shop is not VAT registered, so no VAT is added. Delivery is to the United Kingdom only and is free. Dispatched within 3 days, then 4 to 7 days in transit. The parcel is posted from the fulfillment partner's warehouse in China; import VAT and duty are the shop's to pay, never the buyer's. Returns: 30 days, unused, and the return postage is refunded; a return goes to a UK address. An order can be canceled for a full refund at any time before dispatch. Payment is taken by Stripe at checkout.

## Guides

- [Guides](https://setliststraps.com/guides/index.md): Plain answers to the questions guitarists ask about straps: length and fit, which strap to buy, slipping and neck dive, Les Paul and bass, gifts, and care.
- [How to choose a guitar strap](https://setliststraps.com/guides/how-to-choose-a-guitar-strap/index.md): Four things decide a guitar strap: material, width, length range and the back. Brand names and tooling change how it looks, not how it wears, and a cheap nylon strap suits plenty of players.
- [Guitar strap slipping off your shoulder? The fixes that work](https://setliststraps.com/guides/guitar-strap-slipping-off-shoulder/index.md): A strap slips because its back does not grip your shirt. A suede or rough-out back holds cotton, smooth nylon and finished leather slide, and on satin only a rubber grip holds.
- [How to put on a guitar strap and wear it at the right height](https://setliststraps.com/guides/how-to-put-on-a-guitar-strap/index.md): Tail button first, then the neck button, then set the length so your fretting hand sits level. The whole job takes about two minutes on a guitar with two strap buttons.
- [Why your guitar strap keeps falling off the button](https://setliststraps.com/guides/guitar-strap-keeps-falling-off/index.md): A strap lifts off the button for three reasons, a stretched hole, a loose screw, or a button and hole that never matched. Check the hole shape and the button before you buy anything.
- [Which guitar strap helps shoulder pain?](https://setliststraps.com/guides/guitar-strap-for-shoulder-pain/index.md): A strap helps a sore shoulder by spreading the weight wider, holding it out on the shoulder and keeping it there. The weight of the guitar itself matters more than the strap does.
- [The best guitar strap for a Les Paul](https://setliststraps.com/guides/best-guitar-strap-for-a-les-paul/index.md): A Les Paul is heavy rather than neck heavy, so the strap that suits it is the one that will not creep on your shoulder. Grip first, width second.
- [Guitar strap for a Stratocaster or Telecaster](https://setliststraps.com/guides/guitar-strap-for-stratocaster-and-telecaster/index.md): A Stratocaster or Telecaster balances on its own, so the strap is a comfort and looks decision. Set the length first, then pick the edge, the back and the color.
- [Can you use a guitar strap on a bass?](https://setliststraps.com/guides/do-guitar-straps-work-on-bass/index.md): Bass and guitar use the same two strap buttons, so a guitar strap fits a bass. Length is the usual catch, and weight is why straps sold for bass run wider.
- [Suede versus leather guitar straps, and which grips better](https://setliststraps.com/guides/suede-vs-leather-guitar-strap/index.md): Suede is leather with the nap side out, so it grips your shirt. Smooth leather wipes clean and wears better on the face, which is why most leather straps put suede on the back alone.
- [What genuine leather means on a guitar strap](https://setliststraps.com/guides/genuine-leather-guitar-strap/index.md): Genuine leather only promises that the material is hide and not plastic. It says nothing about which layer of the hide you are getting, and no law or standard ranks the label words.
- [How to adjust a leather guitar strap](https://setliststraps.com/guides/how-to-adjust-a-leather-guitar-strap/index.md): A leather strap adjusts by moving a tab to a different slot in the tail. How to change the length in under a minute, what to do with the excess, and when to punch a new slot.
- [Are guitar straps universal?](https://setliststraps.com/guides/are-guitar-straps-universal/index.md): Almost every electric guitar and bass uses the same two strap buttons, so most straps do fit. Steel-string acoustics usually have only a tail button, and classical guitars have none.
- [Guitar strap for a classical guitar with no buttons](https://setliststraps.com/guides/guitar-strap-for-classical-guitar/index.md): Classical guitars usually ship with no strap buttons, so a two-button strap has nothing to hold. The three routes are a soundhole hook and a tie, a tail button fitted by a shop, or a seated support.
- [What to look for in a guitar strap for kids](https://setliststraps.com/guides/guitar-strap-for-kids/index.md): A child needs a strap that reaches a short setting, not a wide one. Nylon until the teens, leather after, and the shortest setting is the number to check before you buy.

- [Guitar neck dive: why it happens and how to stop it](https://setliststraps.com/guides/guitar-neck-dive-fix/index.md): Neck dive is the headstock tipping toward the floor when the guitar hangs on its strap.
