Ric guitar strap

I was looking everywhere in the music stores here in Québec city, then in Montréal and then in Ottawa to find a Ric strap to no avail! So I ordered it from Rickenbacker. And I gladly received it yesterday to find out that... they were made in Canada!!! A twist of irony perhaps! LOL

I really like mine. I have a maroon one to go with my Burgundyglo 4001. It makes me feel stunning.

Even though I'm not.

Gordon, how 'high' can you wear the Python Strap? I have read that they are slightly longer than they used to be, and the reason I ask is that I tend to wear my guitars higher than the average...

In fact, I took my maroon Rickenbacker strap to a shoe repair shop to have extra holes punched in it... about 7 inches away from the previous set of holes.

Hi Stuart ...i dont know about the old ones, but i do wear it at the
shortest position and it's perfect for me there ...if you wear it higher
than usual, it may not fit ...it's in 2 pieces though, maybe not using
the small 2nd piece would work (though i think you'd have to put a hole there ?)
...anybody modded this strap ?

My Python is set to the highest position using the last strap button hole. It sits just a little low but not enough for me to move to the second strap button hole. If I used that hole, I would have to trim the excess and move the buckle to the last notch. I don't think I want to cut a $200 strap!

This is how it sits in this position.

Great pic Doug. It looks like birthday wishes were the order of the day as well.

My Python strap was too tight
I couldn't get it off last night
A week went by, and now its July
I finally got it off, and my girlfriend cried...

I wonder if FZ ever used Rickenbackers?
