Ernie Ball Classic Jacquard Guitar Strap – Mint to Be (P05633)
Ernie Ball Classic Jacquard Guitar Strap – Mint to Be
A fresh, distinctive Jacquard-woven pattern on the strap that set the standard — trusted polypropylene webbing, reinforced leather ends, and a range that fits every player from first gig to hundredth.
Who This Strap Is For
The Mint to Be colorway brings a fresh, cool-toned character to the Classic Jacquard line — the kind of strap that adds visual personality to a rig without trying too hard. The Jacquard weave process builds the design directly into the polypropylene threads rather than printing or dyeing it on top, which means it keeps its look through regular use without the fading or cracking that plagues cheaper printed straps. Underneath the pattern, the construction is the same as every other strap in Ernie Ball's Classic Jacquard lineup: 2" wide polypropylene webbing that's been the industry standard for decades, machine-stitched leather ends at both connection points, and an adjustment range that runs from 41" all the way to 72" — wide enough to fit virtually any player at any height and any preferred instrument position. This is the right pick for a newer player who wants to match their strap to their personality, for an experienced player grabbing a reliable replacement, or for anyone who just wants a strap that works every time without requiring any thought.

Why You'll Love It
Woven Color That Lasts
The difference between a Jacquard strap and a printed strap shows up over time, not right away. Jacquard weaving interlocks the pattern colors into the warp and weft of the fabric itself — there's no ink or dye layer sitting on the surface waiting to crack, peel, or fade. The Mint to Be design will look the same after a year of regular gigging as it does on day one. For a strap worn night after night, that durability translates directly into value.
A Range That Covers Everyone
Forty-one to seventy-two inches is a genuinely exceptional adjustment window. Many straps in this price range cap out significantly shorter — which works fine for average heights at average playing positions, but creates real problems for taller players, players who like a lower hang, or anyone playing bass who needs extra length for a comfortable seated or standing reach. The full 72" maximum on the Classic Jacquard means no player gets left out, and the buckle holds its set position reliably without creeping during a set.
Leather Ends Where It Matters
The strap pin connection is the single point of failure in any guitar strap — the area around the pin hole is where wear accumulates and where most straps eventually give out. Ernie Ball reinforces both ends of the Classic Jacquard with machine-stitched leather, distributing load across a wider surface and preventing the stretching and tearing that less-reinforced materials develop over time. It's a practical detail that shows up in longevity, not just feel.
Great Fit For
- New players adding a strap to their first guitar or bass setup
- Players replacing a worn strap and wanting something that will genuinely hold up this time
- Performers who want a strap with visual character that holds its look under stage lights and repeated use
- Taller players or low-position players who need the extended 72" maximum length
- Electric, acoustic, and bass players — the 2" width and 41"–72" range covers all instrument types and sizes
- Anyone looking for a reliable, affordable strap from a brand they already trust for strings and accessories
Practice, Performance, and Everything Between
The Classic Jacquard is the kind of strap that disappears into the experience of playing — it does its job without calling attention to itself, which is exactly what a strap should do. The 2" polypropylene webbing sits comfortably on the shoulder and distributes instrument weight well enough that even heavier electrics and basses don't create a pressure point after an hour of playing. Polypropylene also resists moisture absorption, which keeps the strap from developing odor or stiffness after warm performances — a practical advantage that's easy to overlook until you've had a cotton strap that hasn't.
At minimum length, the strap positions most instruments naturally for seated or casual standing play. At maximum, it accommodates low-slung positions common in rock and metal, or the longer reach required for standing bass players of above-average height. Once set, the buckle stays put — there's no gradual creeping or mid-set readjustment required. The Mint to Be pattern gives the whole package a cool, light visual identity that works with a wide range of guitar colors and finishes without competing with the instrument itself.
Specifications
A great strap is one of the easiest upgrades a player can make — and the Mint to Be is the kind of color that puts a smile on your face every time you pull the guitar out of the case. It's a small thing, but those small things add up when you're playing every day.
