The suit....the hair....the wound third....beam me back Scottie....

Well, one out of three isn't bad - I've got the wound third

.......and I've got a ring like that.......

I've got the wound third ... but haven't plucked up the courage to fit it yet!

I remember the straps too. Nice comfy shoulder pad with Selmer embossed on it.
Anyone know if you can get straps like that now?

Hate that wallpaper !

Selmer have moved out of the guitar, amplifier and accessory markets. But there's always this:

They come standard with vintage re-issue strats.

Sorry!- but No to those straps- when playing a long gig, the shoulder pad moves about when it's worn, and the thin strap cuts into your shoulder- the wide leather straps work better!

As for Hank's hair in that shot...all that 'greasy kid stuff' Brylcreem, errrk!

Yes, that's correct. I have one and I'd say it's no more or no less comfortable than other straps. It doesn't have 'Selmer' embossed on it. though!

Cheers.
