from Ace Frehley to Neko Case
The lightning bolt design has been popular and has remained a mainstay since the 1970s.
Double-ply leather ends (on both ends) are a step up from all the cheap straps widely available. Putting these thick pieces over the buttons proved a bit tricky, though, and could confuse a newbie (I would imagine this is also true for the other Fender-branded straps in this price range). I simply unscrewed the buttons to do that, and so far the result has been secure enough not to require even putting washers over the holes (simple metal washers being my approach to strap locking) the leather ends are tight enough as it is.
This strap comes close enough to my favourite straps (homemade ones from car seatbelts), but not quite there yet.

Basic strap, good quality.
It's a guitar strap, not much to be said. Lightning bolt is stitched on well, have had no issue with it for the past few years. Only minor issue is that it's a little on the short side.

Good for young boys
I bought this for a young student. I never used it myself. He loved it, mostly for the Lightning pattern.

Good Quality
Bought to wear with my Telecaster. Very comfortable and sturdy. Button holes are quite stiff to open which means I don't have to worry too much about the weight of the tele deforming them, as I have had this problem with straps in the past. Very happy with this purchase!
