Can't find the right strap for my orange 5120
I've looked high and low, but I just can't find a strap that matches my beautiful orange 5120. It has to look retro, and it has to have some orange in there, or something that sets off the orange finish.
"Snazzy." The quirkier, the better.
I can't believe Gretsch doesn't cash in on straps that say Gretsch, or Electromatic on them... You can find tons of Gibson and Fender straps, so why not make Gretsch straps?
Your suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

With all my Orange Gretsches, I use a whisky brown 60's looking Gretsch strap I bought on Ebay. Hey Retro is back!

Might want to try Earl SLick straps on Guitar fetish. There are a number of color combinations and themes.
