Hello Joel, I just wanted to thank you for the greatest straps on this planet and for you taking such great care of me as your customer. The Studded Special looks and feels awesome and comfortable, the same goes for the Big Bolt strap. Thank you again for everything. Jim P.S. I'm sending some pictures and if you wish to use this for testimonial to future customers that would be ok, take care.

Hey Joel! I received the guitar straps today and I cannot be any more pleased with them! Your ornamented guitar straps are great, but these plain ones are beautiful in their simplicity. Everything has quality written all over it, from the snaps to the buckle..... and the leather is incredible! Your workmanship is excellent! You also got them to me in less than a week! I wish I hadn't wasted all the time I did at the big box guitar stores and on-line looking for the right length. From now on, I'm coming to you...and also sending everyone I can as well! Thanks again, Joel! John

........................................................
Dear Joel, I received the multi stud special guitar strap today. I'm totally blown away by your superb craftsmanship. Its more than I could have expected. It was definately the right choice for my GENE SIMMONS PUNISHER BASS. Look forward to future orders and lots of recommendations to all who see this strap, you can count on it. Thanks a million MIKE
........................................................
Joel, I got my strap yesterday and I love it. It's absolutely wonderful, you certainly did a magnificent job. I know where to go now if I ever want another strap, and a friend of mine is probably going to get one from you too now. Thank you, George
........................................................
Joel, I have just received my 3rd strap from you and again am not disappointed. The craftsmanship is second to none and the wide variety keeps me coming back. While it is now obvious that setting my sights on a new guitar or bass goes hand in hand with getting another one of your straps, I'm almost looking for new guitars just to get another strap. Keep 'em coming. Ron

Joel, It's beautiful, truly a masterpiece. It fits like a glove. Thank you. Pat H. From Phoenix, AZ PS: Feel free to use my comments above and ad it to your long list of testimonials.

Joel, i loved the dog collars. I hope to order more in the future. I will be sending some pictures, and if they are to your liking, you may use them to show others. Sorry I did not get back with you sooner, I was out of town. thank-you Wendy
........................................................
Hi Joel, I got the collar. It's gorgeous and fits absolutely perfectly. A real work of art. One of these days I'll order a matching belt for myself. Will send photos of the stunning specimen (dog) with rockstar collar shortly, grace
........................................................
The belt is perfect! Thanks for your patience in working with me. I'll be sure to pass you some business in the future! Marybeth
........................................................
Joel, Many thanks for the really neat belt. It's a work of art. I'm very pleased with it. I'll keep in touch with you, as I'll bet my friends will want one like it. Regards, Rick
........................................................
Hey, just letting you know that I already got the strap. It looks very cool and is very comfortable. Thanks again! You will definitely be getting referrals from me if anyone I know is looking for a good guitar strap. ;]

Subject: pyramid   Hey Joel, I just received my pyramid guitar strap and it is out of this world.!!! It is better than I ever expected. It is so comfortable and it looks like a million bucks!!! At first I was not sure about ordering this over the internet, but you have restored my faith in internet shopping. It was well worth the money. Thanks so much, keep up the good work...Charles GOD BLESS!
........................................................
Subject: He loved it thanks!   First of all I would like to thank you so much for having the strap made on time for x-mas. My boyfriend really liked it a lot and so did I. It was just to his liking, and the quality of the strap was superb. I had no idea when I was ordering it what I was doing because I did not know his measurements. But you were great because you kept in touch with everything. A part from doing a great job with the strap you have excellent customer service and follow up. Thanks for making this a great x-mas. By the way the strap I bought off of you was the lighting bolt one at about 4 inches of thickness.
........................................................
Subject: Re: New Order   Joel My new strap arrived today. Thanks for the quick turnaround. It is exactly what I wanted. It looks great with my Ace Frehley signature guitar. Your straps are clearly the best value for the money-bar none. You can count on another order whenever I get my next ax. Ron
........................................................
Subject: Re: strap order   Joel, Sorry I didn't get back to you right away but I've been out of town for a week and I just got back late last night. The strap was here waiting for me though and I must say that it exceeded my expectations. It is absolutely perfect. I will pass the word on to my guitar buds about your site. I am 110% satisfied with my strap. Thank you so much. Jason
........................................................
Subject: Re: strap and belts   Joel, I've received the belts and the guitar strap and cannot thank you enough. They are great. You are a master craftsman as far as I'm concerned and I will wear them with great pride. Have no doubt I will tell everyone where I had them made. Most Sincerely, T.C.

Subject: Re: guitar straps   Hi Joel, I am so pleased with my new "Rock Star" guitar straps. I think they are fantastic. Thank you so much for doing such a perfect job for me. Brian
........................................................
Joel, Just to let you know that the strap arrived this morning - it is a thing of great beauty. It is always a little worrying buying 'blind' but I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to fellow musos here in the UK. At last - a strap worthy of my Riclenbackers! Kind Regards, Robin
........................................................
Joel, the strap is great. The craftsmanship is excellent. I will be wearing it proudly at my next gig and I will refer you to anyone who asks about the strap. Thank you so much. Erik
........................................................
Hi Joel, This strap is perfect. It looks great and wears so freaking comfortably. Thanks so much Mike
........................................................
Dear Joel: Just a quick note (albeit late!) to let you know that I gave the guitar strap to my friend. He loved it...and he told me it is the most comfortable strap he has ever had. Thank you so much! Kyla
........................................................
Joel: Thanks for making the strap. You did a great job. This looks great with my Alembic 5-string fretless bass. This is one of the few straps that has actually fit right for me. Don't be surprised if I purchase another one from you in the future. Thanks again. David
........................................................
Hey Joel I received the strap today and it is THE strap that I have always wanted. The leather is top quality. You are the best. I will definately purchase more. This is the best quality strap on the market! Thanks again, Your newest friend and customer Dale
........................................................
Wow.. You are the MAN!.. Got my strap in the mail this morning and it's exactly what I wanted.. Thanks!!! Pinetree
........................................................
Joel, You did a truly outstanding job on my strap!! Everything fell in to place perfectly and the look it has is just AWESOME!! I was expecting great work from you, but I received extraordinary craftmanship. I'll send you a pic of my band: Robby Ray & Desperate Measures (with the strap of course!). You are a credit to your profession. Rob M.
........................................................
Joel Hey dude the strap looks and feels great It was more than worth the wait and the price And it's also been great working with you. I think I can say you are the first person I can call a cyber-friend. If you ever need anything Please contact me. It's been great! I will talk to you later. Earl p.s. you will be the only place that I will send anyone looking for a new strap.
........................................................
Joel, Got my strap today----I cannnot describe how happy I am with it, it is perfect!!!! I can't believe your quality craftsmanship for the price, I never imagined it would be this great for the price!! It is a gorgeous piece of work, I will definately treasure this for years and years. Also, the length in the middle hole is perfect also. Infact, everything is perfect!! I don't think it could have came out much better if I had been standing there with you measuring the length.Too sum it up, I am totally 100% satisfied and if any of my guitar buddies ever are looking for a strap and want something that is 1,000 times better than what is found in any area guitar shop, I will be sending them your way!! Thanks again Joel, Bill
........................................................
Joel, I got the strap, it's great! Ryan loved it. He said it was the most comfortable strap he has ever worn, and he has an 18 pound guitar. Your work is very good and I'll look forward to getting more straps from you in the future. Thanks again! Chris
........................................................
>Hey Mike, did that strap work out all right for you?
Joel... YES YES YES... gorgeous strap... and the stupid "reverse keyhole" thing actually fits perfectly... thank you much... maybe you should blurb that you can fit Gretsch guitars... I promise I'll be referring you to anyone who wants a great strap... and if I run into another Gretsch owner, he's yours! Take care.
........................................................
Joel, Got my strap and belt today. What can I say, you did a great job on them! You even got the hole size right for my strap locks. This is the first guitar strap I've owned that I didn't have to make the holes bigger for my Dunlop strap locks! Looking forward to using them this weekend. If ya have any biz' cards send 'em this way and I'll be more than happy to hand them out. Thanks for everything. Mike

Geeze. I think I've been replaced by a guitar strap...is that possible? Needless to say, he loved it. He just about flipped. You have two new, devoted customers. I'll probably be contacting you soon about a similar type belt for him. Thanks again for all your help. Hope your Christmas was peaceful and your new year bright. Peace, Angie
........................................................
Joel - It's BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm so excited I only hope I can wait until Christmas day to give it to him! I had to take it with me the other day when I met my mom and some friends to listen to a local band. I HAD to have someone see it! My mother agrees with me - she thinks it'll be a real hit on Christmas day. Can't wait to describe to you the look on his face! Thanks SO VERY MUCH for your beautiful artwork!!! Merry Christmas from south Texas - Cheryl*
........................................................
Dear Joel - I just wanted to let you know what a big hit your guitar strap was on Christmas day! My mother's husband absolutely LOVED it - he thought it was just beautiful, and made a point of showing it off to everyone who stopped by. He even hung it in the front foyer so everyone who walked in would see it, until he got it home and put it on his black Takamani (sp?). He's very proud of it, as you must be too. Thanks again for helping me find the "perfect" gift for the impossible man. If anyone ever asks you for a reference, be sure to give them my name. Happy New Year! Cheryl*
