Sorry to revive this thread, but I just happened to have a Hofner strap around and I decided to try it out on my J-160E...it works! It looks the part totally and seems to be very stable and comfortable. I'll post pics as soon as I get a chance.

Thanks Matthew. As a matter of fact, I did the same ...

You mean like this?

The closest I could find was this - (but you would need to add the white cord to go around the neck at the nut).

Thanks Mark. I think you nailed it ...

Hi - thanks for the post. You obviously knew what I was trying to say, but no, sadly, this is the modern version of what I was talking about. I think the system the Beatles and others were using then was something like this: A regular guitar strap (vintage, thin style with adjustment made using a ...

Ok. Not many of you may care about this, but I am going crazy trying to find this out. For you older guys who were playing acoustic guitar in the 50's ans 60's - can you please explain the way the strap was connected to the headstock? I have a poster of John Lennon holding his J-160E on stage, and ...

I believe i was over thinking this issue. I just went and picked up a set of 25's and they sound pretty good. No big deal. and it's not like they are ecpensive.

Thanks Jim. Well, of course that would be a great way to do it. But i prefer asking Roger (smile). Anyway, at my age I was hoping to avoid sitting in a music store with all the 16 year old rock stars trying out finger picks. I appreciate the feedback though. I was thinking someone might give me ...

Hi all. I realize this question is highly subjective, but I would like your opinions. I recently (July) bought a 360 C63 12 string and I also picked up a Jangle Box which really completes the old 60's Byrds, Beatles sound for me. I also purchased Roger McGuinn's instructional DVD and it was then ...

Great answers guys. thanks a bunch. I am glad I went with the C63.

Can anyone please tell me the difference(s) between the 360 12 string C63 model and the v64 model?

Shoot! I wish I had seen your offer before I went ahead and bought some. Thanks for the offer though!

Thanks very much!!

Thanks for the quick reply and the welcome. This is a GREAT forum!!

Hi all - Guess this will be a pretty fundamental question for you folks, but I just bought a 360 C63 12, and I am wondering what strap locks (if any) will fit on the posts that come stock with the guitar. Or do I have to buy a set, and screw in new ones? Hope not. Any input would be appreciated.

Can you get those boots on line? Does the shop have a web site? they're really cool.
