Ernie Ball Introduces New Inked Series - Tattoo - Themed Straps That Rock

SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA (JULY 31, 2006) - Sure to please everyone from the purest of punks to the coolest classic rocker, Ernie Ball's newest accessory merges music with one of pop culture's most expressive and timeless art forms: the tattoo. Announcing the Ernie Ball Inked Strap Series - a distinctive new line of guitar straps boasting bold, tattoo-inked designs and the high quality craftsmanship that consumers have come to expect from Ernie Ball. Featuring seven distinctive styles - each made of bonded leather and finished with a clear varnish to protect and preserve the inked artwork - the Ernie Ball Inked Strap Series includes:



Serpent Dagger - Sailor-inspired graphics featuring detailed daggers and slithering reptiles undulating over and under, up and around combine to create a never-ending riff.

Evil Forces - Nothing will evoke malevolent musical motifs more than the horrific "Dawn of the Dead" visages of skinless heads and mummified skulls that rattle across this strap.

Skull Flames - The mood gets hot and the licks even hotter as flames flare up and engulf the skulls and Iron Crosses that inch along this strap.

Sin City - Follow the dice and playing cards to the sounds of desolation, loneliness and heartache - down-on-your-luck strains that tear at your soul.

Ernie's Eagle - Whether called the Stars and Stripes or Old Glory, the flags parading up and down this strap pump up the patriotism.

Pirate - The buccaneers and anchors that rove to and fro on this strap are sure to inspire clever chords and a scorching selection of freebooting refrains.

Graveyard - Foreboding old houses, eerie full moons and bands of bats make this strap a sinister complement to your own haunting rhythms.

Well if you ever decide to re-introduce the classic leather strap, I will buy 5 right off the bat!

Wow, whose idea were these?

They are very distinctive and cutting edge. Tatoos are apparently very popular now.

Buy one of the inked ones then hit it with black leather shoe dye (not polish, dye).

Let me know how that works for you!

:D

So a minimum order for straps would be 10,000? Or would that be the minimum order to be most cost-effective?

Maybe Fogman can buy 8,000 leather straps (ala EVH style) for all his pictures, forum members can get 1,000 and then you'd have 1,000 for the general public. I think if MF carried them on their website they would sell like hotcakes to.
