Unique Leather Guitar Strap For Sale/Trade (story inside)

Greetings, I am selling a "custom" leather strap that I received from Italia straps on march 5th, 2005. It is 4 inches wide (the width Italia straps recommends for the best weight distribution). This adjustable strap is capable of being a bit beyond 56 inches long because I like to wear my straps a little low, and the longest he makes his "non-custom" straps is 55 inches (for additional costs). He normally puts suede on the bottom side on his "non-custom" straps, but i never liked the way that suede tugged on my shoulder and shirt, due to this reason, I payed more to have him line the bottom side with leather instead. The main outside part is "black/midnight" and its inner part is "cream/crema". To be extremely original, I had the thinner adjustment piece be the same, but reverse to give some sort of oreo effect. :)

It is still in MINT condition. I opened up the package and wore the strap for 1-2 minutes - paying attention to being very carefull with the ends and keeping everything the same as when I recieved it incase for some reason I needed to return it for something different (as with any purchase). It made an extremely HUGE HUGE difference with the weight of my Gibson Les Paul however, the width was a bit much for me, as I have a very small "emaciated" looking body frame. I remember reading through his return policy and it talks about possibly getting something different if you've ordered the wrong color or size and if the strap is returned and still mint looking. I attempted to try to get something to better accomidate my size, but apparently the details I requested qualified it as "custom" :smack:

after the few minutes of testing it out, and a glorious photo session with it (to show you guys), the strap now remains in its box in the same condition it was sent in. I recommend this strap to relieve the weight if you play a heavy guitar or bass. After all was said and done, I payed $74 for the strap. It'd be nice to sell it so I can get a strap that would work better for me, and I am willing to sell this "custom" mint leather strap For $60 shipped. being a musician, I understand potential lacking of funds, and am "open" to trades or partial trades ... preferably desirable things ... not like DOD pedals that need new housings and such :laugh2:

Sorry if that seemed like a life story. I will be more than happy to answer any Private Messages, or if you'd like to email me: quietspaceboy2000@yahoo.com Pictures are on their way my friends

I got that yoda at taco bell when I was in 6th grade, I cannot part with it. I'm sure thousands of people have now upon seeing this post said "oh...no yoda? NOT INTERESTED! :laugh2: But I have an ATST made out of legos that I'll throw in.

Also, one note about shipping.

I said $60 shipped , that is anywhere in the US. if you live in an area outside of the US, I am still willing to ship to you, but I'd ask for the difference (probably pocket change) if that isn't too harrowing :13:

thanks guys

there are many more pictures to be resized and posted

Yoda is worth more than any amount of American Dollars you could shell out.

i don't think 4 inches would even fit on my shoulder.

Do you eat a lot of beef?

It's not that it was impossible or unbearable for me to wear, I'm just a pretty small guy and it felt a little limiting on my movements. I also have been known to move around a lot and get devilishly spastic in a live setting. I need something that will allow me enough movement range to "be myself" and inevitably punish the strap, and this Italia strap doesn't deserve that kind of treatment. :blackeye: ... i'm sure the construction could endure it though.

yeah, I'm a little anal. I know. Still, the weight of my Les Paul felt a lot less focused on anchoring my shoulder during those few minutes of testing. I assume that since 4 inch wide models are one of the standards, not everyone on the planet is as "near death" looking as I.
