John Lee Walker Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 A big thanky to Jayla for redirecting me to Sully's strap site, where I found the perfect strap for my SJ200 MC. Sully's service was five-star, the strap got here in 2 days and it was better than I expected. Very high quality, the leather is from Schultz Bros. horse tack (rein straps) and is truly vintage, rustic and well made. A few slight adjustments pulling the spare leather thru the slots and it fits like a glove - perfect. The nice leather tabs fit snugly and securely over the installed strap button on the neck and the end jackpin. The shoulder pad is suede lined and very comfy. Overall I am more than satisfied with it. Very pleasant transaction, and Sully is the consumate professional. I will definitely buy from him again. This place is just a wealth of good information. Thanks again, y'all. Man I just love this internet! Wife wasn't thrilled with the price. So, I reminded her just how much we spend each week on alfalfa:) Strap Pic - http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3212/3103382335_5f42b5cf78.jpg?v=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadeedo Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 That's a fine looking strap alright, JLW. Is the leather already soft or do you have to break it in? DDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Dog Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Thanks for the review, JLW. It's nice to know when you can count on the service of someone like Sully. Helps him and us. I just might have bought that one if you hadn't beat me to it. But, I'm sure he'll be posting more from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GibbyJoe Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 JLW that is the perfect strap for the perfect guitar. Simply beautiful. You should be proud!!! I like the pic of your guitar so much I downloaded it to my desktop. I love looking at it. You did a great job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lee Walker Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Hey DDD - the leather is nice and supple, very pliable, naturally aged harness rein that feels like an old, familiar baseball glove. Lots of character. GibbyJoe - yeah, it's a perfect match, huh? I couldn't be more satisfied with it. Somebody else emailed me and said the first pic I posted (the muted one that was dim lit) should be in a magazine hah. Maybe I'll make a promo poster:) Honky Dog - call him up! I'm sure Sully would be happy to do the same strap again. ...anxiously awaiting the Waverly engraved tuners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarstrummer Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I probably own 20+ straps from Sully. I've not used anything else since finding them. The only word of caution (as Sully also states on his website), don't leave the strap attached when you're not using it. It's possible for some transfer to occur, depending on the leather that he used. Although he doesn't use anything that will harm your guitar, he can't control and many times doesn't know what the prior owner of the leather used for his vintage straps used on it.

wonderful remark Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I haven't been able to buy any straps for a while, because local shops charge for $40+ dollars for crappy straps... but it seems like sullys strap is about the same price... maybe i should order one of these!
