Lennon 66 casino strap

Post by zyabo »

Hi, I've been trying to fin the model of strap that John used on 66 tour with his casino, with no luck...
Does anybody know where to find that kind of strap aor at least detsiled pics, cause it seams not that hard to do yourself.
I will upload pictures a bit later.
Thank you

As for the earlier sunburst Casino, it appears that more than one strap was used

I asked a similar question because I saw George using one exactly like it on his Gretsch Tennessean. The answer is here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=403883

For Revolver, he used the strap in question. From the '66 tour to about the end of 1968, Lennon used what appeared to be an old belt, as Kent has pointed out here.

I dont think that is an old belt that John used.... but a guitar strap that uses a metal buckle similar to this one
