Still Looking for the parfect "White" strap.
This is "The Albino", for those of you who don't know her. So named because only white, red/pink, nickel & maple were used in her color scheme. Unfortunately I have not been able to locate a strap the works for her. I need to find a "High Quality, matching strap for her. The Strap makers I have spoken with do not(will not) make me a strap to match. Any Ideas?

I really like my couch strap. All the straps are made from vintage or used materials Here are a couple that IMO would work perfect with that guitar.
Red with White Racing Stripe I have a black pro jet and have the black with silver stripe.

i see white straps all the time. does it have to be leather and fancy?
just get a plain one that doesnt take away from the beauty of your guitar.

I reckon some kind of thick plastic gloss white strap would be cool.

I'm a big fan of the Couch straps, too. Handmade in California from recycled materials. I have 5 of them and love every one of them. Go for the "None More White".

It has to be pretty classy. I don't care if it's made from powdercoated tinfoil. |

Bobkat, do you do this for a living? I had a custom strap made for my white falcon a couple of years ago from an indiana company. White, black ends with a gold falcon and my initials embroidered in gold on it....

I would definitely say talk to Bobkat about this. I plan on getting one made by him when I finally figure out what I want it to look like. Check out his photos of all the ones he's made. |
