A guitar strap can work for both electric and acoustic guitars, even bass guitars. The method of attachment for both guitars isn’t the same, though.
Consequently, are there different guitar strap sizes?
LENGTH. Most guitar straps are made between 40” and 60” long. Bass players and some guitarists who prefer their instrument slung extra low may want to look for an extra long strap that extends 70” or more. Guitar straps for children, and straps for smaller instruments like the mandolin should be between 35″ and 50″.

Likewise, people ask, how do I find the right size guitar strap?
Length: Most straps are adjustable in length and it’s recommended to measure the approximate distance along the shoulder from one strap button to the other. If you like to play your guitar at knee height, then you should consider an extra long version such as the Thomann Nylon XXL Strap.

Is a guitar strap necessary?
No, this is not optional. If you are an electric guitar player, you will agree with me that, with the exception of a few “YouTube guitar heroes”, most guitarists do play standing up. And if you play acoustic… come to think of it, lots of singer-songwriters and acoustic players DO play standing up too!
What can I use if I don’t have a guitar strap?
Use fabric.
Instead of a belt or string you could also use fabric as the base of your guitar strap. It will be important to layer the fabrics on top of each other to create a durable base. Arrange about three or four layers of fabric on top of each other and then cut out an outline for the strap.
