Location: Sydney, Australia | Given carbon fibre is a highly rigid material, I can't see why you'd want a strap made out of it. I'm sure you could get a kevlar strap, but again, not quite sure why (unless the audience is shooting at you). |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Actually Carbon fiber is a woven material... it's not rigid unless you put epoxy on it to make it rigid. There are wallets and belts made of CF.

Location: NW Washington State | Here's some strings, but they're not carbon fiber even though they're called carbon strings: http://www.oasishumidifiers.com/carbon_strings.html
Aren't there carbon nanotubes? Maybe someone could make some string tubes that would last longer and give a brighter sound.

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Bobbo, that's why I'm looking for one. I have a guitar that is just begging for one. Leather just looks wrong on it. Even faux CF would be fine. |

Location: Tennessee | I have a black leather Longhollow strap that is real shiny that works OK, but it's not perfect. Maybe we could find a real good hi-res CF graphic and have these folks make up a batch of about 8: http://www.strapgraphics.com/custom-guitar-straps.php. |
