    Where can I go to buy a 'unique' guitar strap?

    I've been looking through all of my local music stores for a decent 'original' guitar strap but haven't found anything that really grabs me.
    I'd like something that is either a 'one off' or unique in some way.
    Does anybody know of (and be willing to divulge) a good designer/manufacturer?
    Preferably they would sell on-line.

    These are a couple I found;
    Jodihead
    Guitar Straps,Custom Guitar Straps,Action Custom Straps,Leather,Handmade/Hand Made,Custom

    Pics of your favorite strap (and axe) would be great.

    It would be useful if you put your location in your profile.

    I could recommend a place in Cardiff that makes ANYTHING out of leather - but I guess that you are in the USA?

    I just got a really nice Levy's 3" wide strap for xmas.

    This one here: Buy Levy s Leather Guitar Strap with Tri Glide Adjust at Musician's Friend

    It may not be really "unique" or a "one-off", but Levy's definitely make some nice stuff.

    Here's more Levy's straps (some are a little more "unique"...) Musician's Friend - Search Results

    Really can't wait for the EB strap locks...

    Good point Spud, I'm in Australia, that's why places that can sell online are ideal for me.
