Jimi Hendrix Strap?

[CrazyNinja8730]

I LOVE Hendrix. I've got a fuzz and a wah, but no cool looking strap! Does anyone know where you can find a Jimi Hendrix looking strap? You know, with the cool almost "tribal" patterns?

Thanks in advance!

oh shit, my girl knows this one. I'll ask her, but by the time I post again someone will probably have the answer before me

They're called Ace guitar straps:

If money is an issue then you might want to check some levy's and planet waves straps out, for instance:

and

(do a little search and you will find a few "retro" planet waves straps you might like)

You can find those cheap on ebay...

Thank you all so much! These are SWEET! I've been using a planet waves "signature Hendrix" strap. It's cool and all, but it doesn't look like something he'd use.

Compare the first strap and Jimi's. HYES!

[Freedom]

Actually those are planet waves, i own the first one (which is the one i have already posted)...nice "Woodstock" strap, i have removed the pick holder though (which has the planet waves logo)...

Here is the "Band of Gypsys" strap (#13) and many more: http://www.levysleathers.com/product;ca ... traps-M8HT" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ...i own that too, actually i like the levy's straps better...

Funny thing is that these can be found with a price tag between $10 and $20 on the ebay...personally i don't find any reason to spend $100+ for an original Ace or an immitation, reissue and so forth...but to each his own...

[CrazyNinja8730]

Yeah, I have a Levy's and it's pretty good. I just thing it's so cool how those straps are the exact same! I also like the levy's #16.

Do you want the real deal or that imitation junk from Levy and Planet Waves? Because if you're really as taken with more authentic gear as I am, you'll want to check out; http://hippiestrap.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Hippie strap may not be cheap but they're strong enough to hold you over a cliff, completely accurate to "Ace/Bobby Lee strap specs and offer original Jacquard weave patters from the 50's/60's/70's that are as beautiful as they are rare.

[CrazyNinja8730]

Those are pretty sweet, and a lot of variety! But I didn't see prices, so how much? I LOVE original gear, but only if I can justify spending that much on a STRAP. The axe and amps come first.

Hmm... can't find the Hendrix or Clapton icon under "Smilies"...

I purchased mine from Souldier.
I have a Jimi & a Jimmy from them...

[CrazyNinja8730]

"Jimi" and "Jimmy"... don't see them, but I do see Clapton.

[Purplexi]

Here's an example of Hippie Strap's work, specs far exceeding any original examples.
This was a fav pattern of Jimi's...

Yeah I've seen the stained glass (2) Band of Gypsys (4), and Woodstoch (5), but I've never seen 1 or 3. That's alright, because I like 2 and 5 the best !
