And it's honestly the best purchase I've ever made. Amusing stretching antics aside, it makes the guitar feel practically weightless. It wasn't the heaviest guitar to begin with, but now it feels like there's nothing there.

I saw Buckethead using one in a live video, then spotted it in every subsequent video. I did a bit of digging and found a place online that sold them. Turns out it's actually the only place you can get them besides E-bay.

Are those the No.1 straps? They used to be avaliable all over the place at the end of the 80s begin gloryhole era . Over the years the stretching gets weaker and the edges of the strap look like they are over strechted and look ugly (takes years).

I used those years ago.

If it is elastic, can you make a sling-shot out of it?

It is indeed. I've got no delusions about how long it will last, but while it does it'll be fucking hilarious

There are black ones too, but I'm showing you this one because it's the version I got. The other pictures have those multiple hole ones on both ends. It's because you can't adjust them like a normal strap you see.



Here's a video of Herr Buckethead using the strap
