Stylish & extreme straps for every taste<br />
1 COPPERPEACE “Our Herringbone guitar strap crosses all borders<br />
and could do well just about everywhere,” said Copperpeace’s<br />
Johnna Lynn. “It definitely helps when the retailers and sales<br />
reps know the story behind the brand, and even better if<br />
they use the straps themselves and can vouch for the<br />
product.” Street price: $60. {copperpeace.com}<br />
2 LM PRODUCTS “Our Alexis line has been a<br />
solid category for a number of years with the<br />
continued growth of the female guitar market,”<br />
said LM Products’ L.J. Mechem. {lmproducts.com}<br />
3 PLANET WAVES Planet Waves has seen especially strong<br />
growth in licensed straps during the past four years. Its lineup includes<br />
models with designs highlighting The Beatles, Joe Satriani,<br />
Woodstock and Kiss (pictured). MSRP: $54.99. {planetwaves.com}<br />
4 LEVY’S LEATHERS “Levy’s offers over 400 models of guitar<br />
straps with over 4,500 SKUs, all guided by our sense of what<br />
is fashionable,” said Levy’s Leathers’ Harvey Levy. “The M8HTV<br />
(pictured) would appeal to the Woodstock generation or Woodstock<br />
wannabes.” Street price: $36–$42. {levysleathers.com}<br />
