Title: Guitar Straps
Post by: jalevinemd on July 13, 2005, 10:46:03 AM

I just received my new strap from Eyeland Enterprises (www.eyelandenterprises.com (http://www.eyelandenterprises.com))I got the Shadow Plus. I love my Moody's, but I have to say that this is the nicest strap I've ever owned. Looks like it was crafted by a professional saddle maker and it was only $89. Very highly recommended. I'll post some pics later.

Thanks Jonathan, what a great website.  Chuck the Eel is a real kick!

Some of their Ergo straps remind me of my Fretsling. It's the most confortable strap I've ever used but they aren't around anymore. Thanks for the pointer I might have found a replacement.

Very nice straps, though I don't see anything as wide as I'd like it. Wonder if they do custom widths.

Val,
 
Just like you guys, they'll do pretty much whatever you want...within reason.

Flax,
 
I love my Moody's also...leather as smooth as a bunny's butt! But this thing looks like it was tooled by a saddle maker - rich, dark leather, thick shoulder pad, brass rings. To me it screams classic rock!

Jonathan:
 
Thanks for the head's up.  I already have several Moody's - great straps.  I recently picked up a Ricky 360/12 in Fireglo off of e-bay.  I called Alison and found out she doesn't make red straps.  I've been looking around, but hadn't found anything worthy of the Ricky.  I checked the Eyeland site and ordered the Sedona in red.  Having just returned from Sedona, I thought it appropriate.  Eyeland was very friendly and helpful.  I asked if they would put an extra slot in the strap so I can clip on my cordless.  No problem.  I'll post a review when it arrives.  (They said it should take a week to 10 days or so.)
