"Duncan, the strap you made back in 1995 especially for my Tony Zemaitis guitar not only is very sturdy and very comfortable, it also greatly enhances the beauty of the instrument. And as a final observation, I may say that after 12 years of use, we can safely call it extremely durable! Thanks a lot for your fantastic attention to detail!"
