These stylish, top quality black adjustable straps have thick suede leather tabs that are sure to stand the test of time (and all the other abuse that they are destined for!) They are made from an unusually thick canvass type material, feeling soft and sturdy to the touch, unlike the plastic webbed straps that are more common. On the front end is a classic Seymour Duncan ?S? emblem in high quality Pewter. The Seymour Duncan logo is also embroidered in a patch just above this so even if your guitar doesn?t pack a pair of Duncan?s, which it should(!), your audience will be none the wiser! The Straps also come with a chord for use with acoustic and electro acoustic guitars that only have one strap hook.

The L-449 Dreadnaught from Lorenzo was the 2004 winner of Guitar Magazine?s ?Best Acoustic Guitar Under £1000? Award ? proving that you don?t have to spend a fortune to get a great sounding instrument. For those who don?t mind paying a bit more for longevity and tone in an instrument then the L-449 is also available with a solid Spruce top. The key to this guitar?s remarkably low price is that all of the usual cosmetic features such as body binding, glossy finishing and position inlays have been left out, focusing funds on quality sound, materials and construction. The result of this unusual simplicity is a guitar that is actually quite interesting to look at, especially considering the sound it makes!
