I dont know who makes that exact strap, but Im sure one of these guys could make you whatever you wanted. Just shoot 'em a pic of that strap, and get a quote.

Ive seen a couple guys using these. Its most likely a maker that was around in the 70's, cause thats when I saw them.

The other guy is Gary Rossington from skynyrd!

Custom straps are really cool since you have a very heavy guitar , i ordered myself a VERY LARGE one a year ago ,and now i can play tree hours with no hurting shoulder at all , very very very comfortable .... and it's not more expensive if you don't order colors or shapes from outer space :lol: , plus a simple straight piece of leather at the right size with just two holes is very difficult to find on current shops if not impossible , you always get weird things on that have absolutely no use , thin straps , adjustment devices that rips everytime your shoulders .....definitely a good strap is one of the main things to get to play in good conditions ...and custom ones are the best ....

Actually, the guitar in my avatar isnt my guitar, mines probably 2 lbs heavier! Mine is a custom, they are the heaviest! But I will definatly get a custom strap, sometime.

Here is a friend of mines site, he and his wife make these snake skin straps themselves. Super quality no high overhead means a better price for you. I got a white python strap coming. :wink:

Frenchie, I've never heard you actually talk, but I can "read" your accent from here all day!! I absolutely love that shit.

The girl that does my tattoo's is french (HOT), and she talks in the same way you write:

"tree" instead of three...
"batchroom" instead of bathroom...
"documen-terry" instead of documentary...
"tahh-too" instead of tattoo...

I fucking love that... I swear I could listen to it all day.
You keep writing with that accent bro--I just love reading it!!!
