Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) RightOnStraps.com
What is the RAS system?
The RAS system allows you to adjust the strap length through an internal or external design (depending on the model), offering a wide and precise adjustment range. This system is especially useful for guitarists and bassists looking for a customized, accurate, and comfortable setup for their instrument.
How does it work?
All you need is a screwdriver. As you’ll see on the straps, the back section features a series of parallel holes along its entire length. These are the adjustment holes. You can unscrew the screws located on the inner side of the strap, which hold a small pressure plate in place. These screws are connected on the other side to a female metal button.
Once the screws are removed, simply slide the back part of the strap (the one with all the holes) up or down to align the holes with the previous screw position. Place the pressure plate back on and screw it in. That’s it!

6. What Are Guitar Straps, and Why Are They Important?
-
Straps don't just hold the guitar, they help ensure a comfortable playing position and distribute weight properly. Choosing a good strap is key to avoiding fatigue and injury. We’re pretty sure Slash has spent a fortune on physiotherapy after using such a ridiculously thin strap… jokes aside, people who make a living carrying 3 to 5 kilos on their shoulders for long periods really appreciate any help they can get to bear that weight and still keep the playing “feel.”
At RightOn! we were pioneers in introducing latex into the interior of our guitar straps, steering clear of materials that lose their "memory" after just a few uses like Dolly.
7. How Do I Care for My RightOn! Straps?
- No special treatment is required. Our straps are designed to withstand normal use. Avoid excessive exposure to external elements such as humidity, liquids, etc., and preferably don’t store it inside the guitar case if it’s damp with sweat.
If you tend to sweat a lot or it was simply a hot day it’s best not to store the strap with the instrument: wipe it down with a towel or cloth and let it air out. Otherwise, by the next gig, you’ll think The circus just rolled into town (vintage joke!). - We've occasionally been asked whether it's okay to put the strap in the washing machine. Our answer has always been: it depends on the type of strap. Ideally, it’s better to gently rub it with something damp. But if you’re feeling brave and decide to throw it in the machine, use cold water, a short cycle… and do it at your own risk.
8. How Does the Strap Affect Instruments with Nitro Lacquer?
- Nitrocellulose can be affected by various external factors. Although 100% protection cannot be guaranteed, we recommend storing the strap separately from the instrument to prevent any potential issues. It’s important to note that these effects do not depend solely on the strap’s material, but also on the specific composition of the instrument’s finish, the type of nitrocellulose lacquer used, and the proportions in which it was applied. Therefore, any possible deterioration cannot be attributed solely to the strap.
9. How Can I Replace a Screw in the RAS System of My Strap?

10. What Should I Consider When Choosing a Guitar Strap?
- Factors to consider:
- Width and padding based on the instrument's weight.
- Adjustable length and personal comfort.
- Materials resistant to tension and moisture.
