Location: Pensacola, FL | Looking for an Ovation guitar strap (matches the oakleaf rosette).
I saw some of these in an old Ovation catalog offered on eBay. A thorough search of the Ovation website found nothing. An e-mail to Ovation Service resulted in a referral to this fanclub site as they no longer sell these straps. :confused: :( |

Location: NJ | Jeez, I used to HAVE one of those!
The nice lady that owned the music store where I bought my CB back in '76 gave me one free. It was a pretty nice strap (I seem to remember they were available in different colors).
Unfortunately, mine turned up M.I.A. in the War On Drugs sometime in the early '80's.
Wouldn't mind finding another one of those myself. |

Location: Scotland | They are very cool straps, didn't they do a matching belt & strap set? There was an Ovation white leather strap with the rosette design embossed on to it on Ebay a few months ago, went for about $20. Haven't seen one on there before or since.

Location: Atlanta,Ga. | Actually, the guitar straps and belts are harder to find than the guitars....In all my years i have managed to find two straps and one belt...They are very well designed and built and came in several 70's hippie styles and colors..They also made some straps in leather.Have not found one of those yet!!
Keep your eyes out for an ovation frisbee as well.They used to give you a mini frisbee when you bought a set of strings.It was all packaged together and the frisbee had the ovation logo and the guy playing an ovation on it..... |

I had a couple of those TOO!!!
(I remember mine being a light blue).
I also seem to remember that they "flew" like shit.
All of mine had gotten eaten by my boxer (Bridgitte). |

Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | I do have two of the white leather straps. I bought them new back in the early '70's. I had them for nearly 30 years (hadn't used them for a long tome until lately) and didn't notice they had the same design as the sound hole ring until I read the discription of the one on Ebay...observant or what?

Location: 6 String Ranch | There were embossed leather in two widths and some colors. There were also cloth ones, red and blew and brown and maybe some other colors.
The frisbee was the package of the "String Fling". See what happens when you let people who don't take drugs do the marketing? |

Hey they do it with other "vintage/classic"
stuff ;-} |

Location: Central Texas | Wow, I was actually thinking about bidding on that until it went to what I thought was a bit too high. But, as my grandmother use to say, "Things are worth no more or no less than what people are willing to pay for them."
Now, if I could find one of those frisbees... |

Miles, AL: Take this quote and add it to the home page in reference to all who inquire about their guitar's value :D
Alright boys, who ponied up the big cash for this strap? Only one of us would pay that kind of cash! :eek: |
