Nice one Sebber - now -- what's next??! ?
Well, curiously enough the "pimp my Strats" mission wasn't quite over: I like to pick a strap for each of my guitars, to me the strap is part of the guitar and needs to match the instrument's vibe in some form or fashion. Some years ago I bought a couple of Levy's guitar straps, one for my original Black Voodoo #1 Strat, and another for my (at the time) Candy Apple Red Muddy Waters signature Tele. A couple of years back I sold the Tele because I'd decided that the Strat was the only electric for me, and transferred its strap to my Sunburst #2 Strat.
It seems that sometime along the line that the selection of Levy's straps here in SA has got worse, so when it came to getting the right straps for my newer acquisitions I was really struggling. Of course rather than trawl the shops in Joburg in the vain hope I'd find the right straps I took to the World Wide Tubes and found precisely the straps I wanted on the Levy's web site. I dropped them an email and got a reply within 24 hours, told them the ones I wanted, they confirmed all were in stock, then suddenly they got back to me and said they couldn't ship to SA because they had a distribution agreement with Marshall Music and that all SA business had to go through them! So I got a mate in Toronto to buy them for me, have them shipped to him, and then he shipped them to me so that I didn't have to wait until Marshall Music got the next consignment (sorry Stuart/Marshall, too impatient to wait).
Got 'em on Saturday, and here's the pic goodness!
