Gravity Gap: Guitar Strap Extender and Headstock Tie

What is the Gravity Gap strap extender? Gravity Gap adds approximately 4 inches of practical reach between your strap and instrument. It is especially useful for taller players and anyone who likes to wear a guitar or bass low. When a Zero-Gravity strap is adjusted to its longest setting, the padded section can sometimes move away from the shoulder, leaving the narrower webbing to carry the weight. Install Gravity Gap at the front end of the strap to move the padded section back toward the shoulder, where it can provide the comfort and weight relief it was designed for. Why add Gravity Gap to a Zero-Gravity strap? It lets the instrument hang lower without allowing the padded shoulder section to slide too far out of position. The extender adds reach at the instrument end of the strap. This gives low-slung players the extra distance they need while helping return the padded section to the correct shoulder position.
