Members Cletus Spuckle Posted July 17, 2008 Members Share Posted July 17, 2008 Whenever I see a guy using a strap like that, the pad seems to fall behind the guy's back, missing his shoulder. That would bother me. Nice price, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wyatt Posted July 17, 2008 Members Share Posted July 17, 2008 As noted above, Fender and Gretsch offer the strap as does Rickenbacker...http://www.pickofthericks.com/cart32_ric_accessories.htm It's pretty much the same strap, regardless of who you purchase from, just with each companies name embossed in. And then several other companies also other it (I'm sure they are the ones who make it for the guitar companies). Gretsch even offers one that is tooled and El Dorado offers a hand-tooled one (for $125) Had one when I owned my Ric in the '80's/'90's, not my favorite strap.

Members dparr Posted July 17, 2008 Members Share Posted July 17, 2008 I think that he used an old Hofner strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rob14 Posted July 17, 2008 Members Share Posted July 17, 2008 I got a Gretch one, love it, very comfortable, but probably not the best if you jump arround a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members placeboemotion Posted July 17, 2008 Members Share Posted July 17, 2008 The Levy's is the best quality - I do have Fenders and I saw the Gretsches. The Levy (PM23) wins in terms of comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hondro Posted July 17, 2008 Members Share Posted July 17, 2008 i got on on my tele. not my favorite strap. the pad always moves around. I much prefer my cloth hendrix style straps, suede straps, and padded leather straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wulver Posted July 17, 2008 Members Share Posted July 17, 2008 LOL How about these? Hey, wait. How did Matisyahu sneak in there? Personally, I'm more fond of the Hendrix style strap. Or, rather, the one David Gilmour is using now (it was worn by Hendrix a few times)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
