Hit&Run Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I'd quite like a nice black guitar strap with a buckle, [i]a la Marcus[/i]. It doesn't have to be identical to his, just as long as it's black, has a buckle, and is preferably quite wide for load-bearing duties. I haven't seen one in a shop for a while; so do any of you guys know of products and/or retailers that fit my requirements? Bo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a bit of a search myself and found UK places offering straps for what they (eldorado) would cost. It also looked like they were thin straps with a wide shoulder pad, and I was after a strap that's wide all the way along it's length. Cheers for posting it anyway 99ster.

Alien Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 What about buying a big leather belt, cutting it in the appropriate place, and punching holes for strap buttons? Mate of mine had a strap that started life as a belt. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be keeping my eyes peeled just in case, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit&Run Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 (edited) Well I've found this [url="http://www.bulldogproducts.co.uk/gstraps_c.htm"]strap[/url], and for £26 inc UK P&P I think it's rather good. I hope they're still trading... *Edit* or there's these [url="http://www.sound-insite.co.uk/Straps-and-plectrums.shtml"]plain[/url] which look very good vfm. They reckon they'll have 'em back in stock in 3 weeks. Edited December 24, 2007 by Hit&Run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo![/quote] Hi Mate, there is a guy who has a little workshop at Hebdon Bridge who make them. (It is on the canal side so easy to find) I got one a year or so ago and it cost about £20 !! is a great fella and cheap as chips. Basically does whatever you want. Also there is a company who sell on EBay El Dorado lookalikees. They are cheap too. Try search under Mexican/Western Guitar strap Ta Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hit&Run Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Well spotted Bassmonkey. Hebdon Bridge isn't even that far away from me, and £20 appeals to my inner tight-wad. I'll have to investigate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
