Who Wears Revo Guitar Straps?
We could talk all day about the quality and unique look and feel of Revo Guitar Straps. However, the biggest compliment we can get is when a fan raves about our products.
We love when our customers send us pictures of their new guitar set up and of them playing gigs with Revos. Check out @revostraps and check our customers here: #revoguitarstraps on Instagram.
We don't pay for product endorsements, so when some of the biggest names and best guitarists choose Revo, it is quite flattering.
When you're wearing a Revo, you're in good company!
Take a look at some artists who proudly wear Revo Guitar Straps:
Few guitarists are revered like Carlos Santana. In his Rolling Stone cover shot from 2000, Santana was wearing our Solano guitar straps:

Remember the "Smooth" music video with Rob Thomas and Santana? Carlos is wearing yet another style of Solano throughout that video. Click here to watch it on YouTube.
Now we'd like to tell you that Carlos Santana is a personal friend or someone we are affiliated with, but that's not the case. We think Carlos just knows a good thing when he sees it, which is why he wears a Revo guitar strap.
Santana isn't the only artist who has discovered Revo. Check out this list of other artists that use our straps:
