Helps a lot
I have serious lower back pains, and every time i used to play guitar in the end i was in such pain that it was not worth it. after i got this i noticed that because of the better balance i get less pain after i am done practicing.

Good for the money. Not perfect.
It does what it's supposed to do: distributes the weight of the instrument across both shoulders. Each shoulder strap has individually adjustable length to get the right distribution.
The downsides are:
The straps tend to rub against your neck. It's not terrible. I don't feel like I'm choking or anything but sometimes my neck is a little red after use. Wearing a hoody or shirt with a collar alleviates this.
Also, the secondary shoulder strap attaches to the primary with a snap. It works well in practice but it can unsnap if you move around a lot.
It's simple, and does what it's supposed to do without needing to strap a bracket on the instrument or something like some harness systems. Not perfect, but can't really complain at this price point. I am content.

A great idea actually.
I ve seen players using 2 straps to evenly distribute the weight of their guitar and I guess its how Planet Waves conceptualize this gadget.
It works, its adjustable and its practical.
However its almost 2 nylon straps with some safety pins between them. They should make a padded version thats visually more appealing and more comfortable.
Would I use it on a live? I probably would, despite losing points on the cool factor.
In the end I would take a hit in my pride instead of a sore neck any day of the week.
Anyway the price makes it worth a try especially if you play bass or a les paul or whatever guitar thats heavier than average.
