Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		I was watching this until it skyrocketed. No telling what the final sale price will be. We better keep our vintage Ace straps in a vault!

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		Me, too. I had to have the seams resewn a few years ago. I have a few others tossed in the corner. It may be time to make a display.

Location: Carle Place, NY		Back on topic, those Italia straps are excellent. I bought mine off of eBay. It was around $30 with shipping. Beautiful soft leather. Lots of color selections for both the outside and inside of the strap. Highly recommended.

I just checked eBay and none are listed. I guess that they sell only from their website now. Mine is the 2.5 inch wide. Two for $69 is a nice deal, if you need two.

Location: CA		The Peace-Doves strap for $250? Vintage? People are such suckers. But apparently originals have gone for more than that on eBay.

Here's a pic of that disgustingly talented 8-year-old Quinn Sullivan using a black version of the same strap:

Further Googling revealed that he (or his Mom) probably bought it here: http://jeridesigns.com/NeilYoungGuitarStrap.htm

Apparently, you can still get the 'Neil Young' strap, made with the original Ace weavings/material by special order. Here's a thread from another forum about it: http://www.tdpri.com/forum/bad-dog-cafe/90634-neil-youngs-guitar-st...

I think my last strap cost $39.95 and I thought that was extravagant.
