that's a pricey strap.... I have an ancient vintage style strap with the movable shoulder pad.I got the stap in the early 70's and have played every gig since with it. ( I traded a Taj Mahal Tshirt for it - It's a Gretsch strap) Actually I've replaced the strap part about three times but the pad part has always been with me. It's a big part of my gig ritual....adjusting the pad after I put it on.You would not believe how attached I am to that strap.
Indeed. There's a nice quality leather one I'm thinking of grabbing but even that is only 50$ish. Though if there's somethign there I'm not seeing that pushes up the value then I'm sorry. Also, if there's just something about That particular strap.. go for it.
This guy has some nicely priced straps. The extra long leather ones in particular are very well priced. $19 for a 61" long x 3" wide suede lined leather strap .....
