The length of a standard guitar strap is between 40 - 60 inches. If you play bass, people suggest that you should wear a strap that is around 70 inches. When it comes to width, the typical guitar straps are 2 inches on a guitar's thin side and 4 inches on a guitar's thick side.
What length should my guitar strap be?
The length of a comfortable guitar strap should have a length that allows for easy and enjoyable playing. The average guitar strap adjusts between 40 and 60 inches, which fits most players. Tall players, bass players, and those who like their guitar hanging low will prefer an extra-long strap.
Which end of guitar strap goes where?
The end that's sewn directly to the nylon is the "bottom". As a strap it doesn't matter, but it makes it easier to adjust, and usually that plastic in the middle of the strap hangs to your side instead of digging into your back.
