Jimmy's Guitar Straps

Post by Huey44 »

I believe I've heard Jimmy mention the name of where he gets his numerous custom guitar straps, maybe more that once, but I've failed to remember. Maybe it didn't quite soak in like the margaritas did. Anyone with a better memory out there that can help me? Thanks in advance.

Do you think one of those would be overkill when I get the new Guitar Hero game? :D

Maybe it's because in spite of all the work we do, it's the child in us we really value.

Good lord I am a beginning guitarist and found myself asking the guitar strap question as I watched "Wrigley Field". I'm not into guitar enough to justify a $400 guitar strap. Those are some nice pieces but dang expensive.

I'll go get me a plain strap and some Sharpie markers and hope for the best . ..

these straps are costly but they are one of the best quality out there. All the leather used is cut by hand. there is quality in a hand tooled piece of leather.

Terry would be happy to make you any of the straps that jimmy has but they arnt cheap but well worth any penny.

By no means is there a question of quality. I can not see the casual/hobbyist guitar player like myself spending the money. I don't think my guitar is worth that much and its an antique Silvertone.

See, my problem with easy is that it's not like you're even strumming along with the beats. It's more like playing rhythm.

Sometimes more than others,
we see who and what and where we are,
I'm just a one man band,
With my feet in the sand,
Tonight I just need my guitar
