It's gaudy, it's loud and trashy, but I love it, It's also the most comfortable strap I own.

It goes great on "Killer", the fretted MIM Jazz.

Here's a better view albeit a bit fuzzy. You can see part of it in the pic.

Wow, if I would have known those could be used as strap locks, back in the day, and tucked them away until the advent of eBay, my first band would have made a billion dollars, more than the Beatles. Figure selling them for fifty cents, that would have been 500,000,000 beers. We must have done that in 1966 alone.

Instead we settled for fifty bucks and a pizza.

Had a worn strap and almost dropped a guitar several times during a last minute run through before heading to a gig. Was rushed and grabbed one of those square plastic clips they use to seal up loaves of bread(they make good emergency picks too!) and used it like a c-clip on the strap button. Meant it as a temporary fix to get through the night but has been several years and still there. Used a black sharpy on it and you can't even see it.

Have since picked up some of the Fender rubber ones and have them on a few guitars - cheap insurance!
