While out looking for guitars in my wheeling and dealing days, I came across a early 1950’s D-28 guitar that had the original strap with it. The strap was leather and was attached from the end pin to the headstock of the guitar. What I found out about this guitar was that when I played it, it felt like it was just floating in front of me. I’d never performed with a guitar with this type of strap before. All of my musical heroes, like Lester Flatt, Johnny Cash and Merle Travis all had the same type strap. No one else was using them anymore. I had a local friend who works with leather to replicate the strap for me. When I started performing with this strap on, other performers made note of it and asked if I could get them one just like it. Before long I kept having people ask about the strap and if they could get one. Some of the people that perform with them are Terry Eldredge with the Grascals, and Jere Cherryholmes of Cherryholmes. Get your strap today and you’ll be glad that you did. Guitar Strap - $40.
