| WOW Tony All ya need is Platform shoes a loose muslin shirt and a pair of tight white pants! Goona see the hat guy soon.
Hope that Miles can come up with something like what I am after I think they would sell really good!
The ones I am going to make are not anything official, I plan to use the sound hole pattern somewhat? and "NO" little guitar symbol. That is certainly an Ovation logo. Lets see what he can do? The Straps are what I am hoping Ovation will endorse! IF done with the sound hole pattern and the little guitar symbol, either embossed in leather or embroidered in cloth, they will also sell like crazy.
Miles if you read this keep this in mind for a project sometime soon will ya? A lot of us just can't handle the official Guitar but I think we would all buy two or three straps and/or hats! Randy |

Location: SoCal | I'll say it up front that I recognize we all have separate opinions and, most likely, someone else has the better idea. So, who is right? Usually the other guy.
Personally, I like the old style baseball or golf hat with the structured crown - similar to an Alfa Romeo hat I bought, the OFC hat is a softer, smaller hat designed to pull down on the head (basically a cap with a bill.) So far, given them away.
As to straps, more expensive but I use a padded Levy's leather (2-3" wide). If I get a strap with a logo, I would prefer either a carved logo into the leather piece similar to an old Martin strap I have or a small, not as distinct logo as the Carvin pictured.
Guess I always felt that if the Company's logo was that prominent of an advertisement, I shouldn't have to pay for it. For a couple of years, got golf clubs, balls, and bags supplied - never been the case for guitars. Understandable, always played golf better than the guitar.
Ideal would be the Levy's strap with an Ovation logo stamped (medallion size) onto the strap or a round piece of leather that was attached to the strap. |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | I'm quite satisfied to see what Miles comes up with. His taste on the quality of everything sold in the OFC store has been outstanding, IMHO. The shirts, the hat, the guitar picks, they all are very much to my taste and get used regularly. I wish that the color on the T-shirt and hat could be something a little more colorful than gray, but hey, it works.

Location: Midland, MI | In searching for a particular item, I managed to turn this up on that thar intarweb thingumajig:
Moody's Straps!
Could it be our own Moody has a little side line? :)
EDIT: Which is more preferrable for a guitar strap...glove leather or boot leather? I'd think glove leather would be more supple, but perhaps the boot leather would wear better.
EDIT2: I wish I could find a leather strap with epaulette-style leaves carved/sewn in. That would go nicely with my Ovation. Perhaps an idea for the OFC strap? |

Stay away from suede like straps - they grab and don't let go. |

Location: south east Michigan | I'm guessing that it might take a run of 100 pcs or so to get the price within reason. Perhaps the OFC store has to clear existing inventory before more capital can be put into new product. |
