Strapping to stand up

Post by Ted Smith »

Just finished one of the last Melobars for Brad T. and went over where to strap on to stand up and feel solid and comfortable moving on-stage so thought I'd put the link in exlaining that

This is a kit guitar so just a couple coats of primer. Doing this really has helped keep the price around $685 and keep the collectors from grabbing them and running the price up; that really bothers me, guitars are meant to be played, not put on the wall.

And a good long strap on ebay is Perris for $15
