Staying true to Ernie Ball’s commitment to no-hype functional tools for musicians, Ernie Ball’s new leather guitar straps are available in two lengths, two widths and two colors. The comfortable and supportive straps feature Velcro for easy, on-the-spot adjustments, even when the guitar is strapped on.
Made from finely tanned, top grain leather with two-ply stitching for comfort, looks, and durability, the straps retail for $40 for a two-inch width and $55 for a three-inch width. Color choices are black or brown, in regular length (44-48 inches) and long (48-54 inches). Available in January 2002, the new straps will be displayed at the NAMM show, at booth #5440, in Anaheim in January.
“The Ernie Ball strap adjusts easily by quickly pulling it into place and fastening it to Velcro, unlike other leather straps on the market that must be tediously laced through holes and then cinched into place,” explained Curt Mangan of Ernie Ball. “Once adjusted, the Ernie Ball strap provides great support, keeping your guitar secure, regardless of how much pressure you put on it. And, with a smooth leather construction, the strap easily slides across your shirt as you move, rather than causing a bunched up shirt underneath your strap,” he continued.
Ernie Ball continues to offer its world-famous Polypro straps as well.
Ernie Ball was the first to offer rock strings with the creation of Slinkys, and further revolutionized the market by offering guitarists Custom-Gauge single strings. The Ernie Ball Company also produces Music Man guitars and basses, volume pedals, and other accessories. Strings and accessories are available in more than 5,500 music stores throughout the U.S. The company also exports to 68 countries.
