How does this fit on the mandolin? I have tried every way I could think of but it won't work. I have a Gibson A4.

The string provided in the single-holed side of the leather strap ties around the neck, on the "tuning peg side" of the nut. The leather strip has multiple holes cut for adjustment on the opposite end. Choose the hole closest to the end of the strap and push it on to the strap peg that's down by your tailpeice (which the A4 should have). There you go, change holes or adjust your string to line the mando wherever you find most comfortable.

Will this fit a F Style?

Yes, it's made for an F style mandolin. You just wrap the lace around the scroll near the neck and put the other end around the peg behind the bridge.

How wide is it? How long?

.75" wide, 48" long. If you use the loop end to wrap around the mandolin neck you will use 4" of the length. Holes for the end peg are at 1", 4" 7" and 10".There is no pad on this strap and I used a tape measure for the measurements so they are exact. The strap is comfortable and made out of a nice leather. No pleather, no plastic backing over a thin leather laminate.

Looking for a seagull merlin strap that is a little better quality. it seems like this would work fine. will it?

This strap has worked perfectly for my Seagull mandolin. Good quality leather and fully adjustable. I've adjusted the strap at the shortest precut hole, preferring to keep my mandolin up high, just my personal choice. I'm pleased with this strap, I believe it should work well on your Merlin.
