Location: New Mexico		Just ran across a guitar strap in some junk of mine. I believe I bought it sometime in the 70's when I had a 12string Custom Legend. Long since gone. Here is a pic. Thought it might be an ovation strap but am unsure. Maybe someone here can tell me.
Before you ask.. I have no idea why I would sell the guitar and keep the strap.. It was the 70's.

:rolleyes:

What a blast from the past! Had the exact one, actually wore mine out!

I don't think mine was an ovation strap?

Cool to see it again. Thanks Randy

Location: New Mexico		My wife just told me it reminded her of "The Partridge Family"... Talk about a way of making you feel older....
Still not sure though.. Is this an Ovation strap? :confused:

Location: NJ		Not an Ovation strap.

The O straps had the leaf pattern of the rosette embroidered along it's length . .

Location: Upper Left USA		Cliff is correct. Sir.

I think that pattern was the Ernie Ball carried brand, complete with the finish bashing buckle!

They seemed to dominate the guitar accessory market for a decade or so.

Geez Woody, just cause the guy remembers the Partridge Family is no reason to start dropping bombs like the 'S' word. A lot of us his age don't even remember the decade.

:D
