MusiCare Pro, a new gear company, has launched the Axle Strap Support, a unique guitar strap designed to alleviate playing-related pain while offering surprising performance enhancements.
MusiCare Pro Axle Strap Support
Initially conceived as a solution for shoulder and back pain caused by heavy instruments, the Axle Strap Support redistributes the weight to the wearer’s belt, providing unparalleled comfort during extended playing sessions. MusiCare Pro states the strap is “designed with ergonomics and durability in mind,” allowing players to “feel the music, not pain.”

360-degree spins
The innovative design also allows for impressive freedom of movement, including 360-degree spins worthy of Billy Gibbons. This unexpected benefit transforms the act of wearing a guitar into something akin to wearing a belt buckle.
Belt Attachment
The Axle Strap Support works in conjunction with a standard guitar strap, requiring the addition of a strap button to the back of the instrument.
A leather loop attached to the player’s belt connects to this newly installed button via a locking mechanism.
Spin It!
While the primary focus is pain relief, achieving the full spinning effect requires careful measurement and placement of the rear strap button to find the guitar’s optimal balance point. MusiCare Pro advises caution when attempting spins.
The Axle Strap Support is available for $39.99 and ships worldwide.
