Big Norm Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I don't know if its just me, but it sound rudicilous to pay that much for a strap. It represent about 25% of the price of the guitar.. :-) Have a look here ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Nelson Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I don't know if its just me' date=' but it sound rudicilous to pay that much for a strap. It represent about 25% of the price of the guitar.. :-)[/i']Have a look here ! That looks suspiciously like a $150 Vox Python reissue strap (like Lennon had on his Rickenbacker 325)...Epiphone must completely own this Slash joker...they are exploiting him to the max and as far as I'm concerned his fifteen minutes were over fifteen years ago...but there's always someone who hangs on to their past and then try to re-live it by still wanting crap endorsed by over and done with rock stars...and Epiphone is right there to take their money.. OK I got a better look at it...it's more studs than scales...and looks like the same strap my stuck in the 70's band mate uses and has used at least since the early 80's on his V...maybe I'll offer him a few bucks and then sell it on E Bay as an authentic used by Slash in the 70's...or something... I just offered the guy six bucks if he'll ship it for free...we shall see... Mr.Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well, that one is "studded," and the Vox Python strap was layered in chrome/stainless roundish "shingles" in groups of 4, somewhat like a snake skin might be. Also, the Python strap had a narrower portion toward the back with a buckle, and a metal ring, with a narrow strip at the opposite (front) end.

I guess the guy didn't accept my offer of six bucks...oh, well maybe next time.. Mr.Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epiphone must own Slash. And his fame was up the minute he left GNR. They are a band in name only now as far as I`m concerned. Now that he`s clean and sober he`s all over VH-1 as some expert on rock and roll. I never paid mopre than 20 bucks for a guitar strap. And I have to buy bigger ones coz I`m a big guy. I have the strap that came with my 1971 tele, but it`s so small on me. Just sitting in a drawer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epinder Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Funny regarding straps; as I saw this one for sale this morning on the local CL: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/msg/998410056.html Looks very similar to my '05 strat strap but I'm sure the one for sale has much much more mojo.

BlueLesPaul2006 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 But guys you have to remember that slashes strap gives you that special tone. I think that if I had that strap I would sound better. hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canine Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I don't think that "offer" has anything to do with Slash or Epiphone. It's just the guy trying to sell the strap that came with the guitar for some serious dough. A rip off if you ask me, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
