Location: Anchorage, Alaska | Do any of you out there display your guitar straps as "art" (for no better word)in your music rooms. I must have over a dozen guitar straps, some custom ones, that really deserve to be displayed. What are your ideas? Pictures would be cool.
Thanks, |

I have specific straps for specific guitars, why not? |

Location: East Tennessee | Hi Fly Guy,
How have you been?
I love the look of a nice strap. I recently bought a hide a have made several straps using an auto visor clip-on for a design. the straps are comfortable and like me a little rough around the edges. I'll try a post some pics in a few days. |

| Yep Love a well made guitar strap. I have one on each of my guitars and basses. and they hang on them all the time. Have found that the Levy's seem to make some of the nicest off the rack straps there are. I have 5 from them now and the rest all have a specific guitar I seem to find they match up with quite nicely. The art work I hang in between the guitars is going to be some old favorite albums from the past. I have someupdtated photo's of the Herd in the members section. I need to go back in and delete some as well a few of the guitars have been sold or traded and it is not right to take up space in there for guitars I do not have anymore. |

| Hey AFG - we've missed you Ron. How's things? Still catching the fish and dodging the bears? (You're only going to get that the wrong way round once.) |

Location: NJ | unfortunately all my straps are stuffed into cases or gig bags. Never really thought of displaying them because then they would not be with the guitar and I would find myself without one at a jam or gig. (yes it has happened)
btw good to see you back. I was thinking of sending you an e mail today. |

..... They're on the bed posts. |

Location: Anchorage, Alaska | Hey all, thanks for the answers.
I've been kind of under the weather again with the ole "pupmer" crappin' out. Sometimes it decides to race for no reason, and sometimes it decides to take the day off... The latter sucks believe me! Anyway I think I am back on the mend again pissing everyone off around me as often as possable. Well mabe not that bad but... I did just have my 54th birthday and was given a very nice '52 (the year I was born) Fender Telecaster Re-Issue FSR with the binding and countour body. Beautiful player. What a wife. Anyway good to hear from you all again and I'll be a bit more acive on the OFC again here now that I am up and about again. Take Care and Thank you for all the great thoughts... |

Good to see ya back. I'm headed back down to FLA first of October for a bit of the Fly Rod. I'll land a redfish fer ye. |

Location: Anchorage, Alaska | Jeff-I plan on heading down to the famed Kenai River this weekend for some of those 5 to 10 lb rainbows. They have been fatneing up on all the salmon eggs and flesh for the past couple months and are getting fat as footballs before the winter locks them under the ice. Not unusual to catch a dozen or so in the 3 to 5 lb range and a few in the 5 to 10 lb range in a 6 hour or so drift down the river mostly fishing from islands and gravel bars along the way. Lots of bear this year so we usually have 1 guy on bear watch while the other 2 fish. Normal to see 2 to 5 each day. Most of the time they are minding thier own business but once in a while we have to "reel 'em up" and get in the boat and give them the hole. It is their dinning hall after all... |
