	and now for something completely different

Though they are a bit extreme!

Though they are a bit extreme! i have a planet waves lether strap and its awesome. its got a lock system on it so you dont have to worry about it coming off during a gig or anything like that. it does not way you down either i have used it on more than 5 different guitars and its great. i would recomend planet waves search it in google mate.

I ended up having to send back 16 faulty cables, and a faulty strap. I never got ANY of the cables back, despite Planet Waves "lifetime guarantee" crap. The strap issue cost me several hundred euro, as when the �32 strap broke, my guitar hit the dirt, smashing one of my pedals to peices, and destroying the paint on my guitar. To add more to that, Planet Waves CHARGE you for shipping faulty equipment, AND for when they return something. And on top of that, they would not admit the strap was faulty, that it had never happened in that line of strap, and didnt even bother checking the strap which I paid nearly �50 to send to them. Those Guitar Humidifiers they sell? A load of crap. The liquid in them was too potent on mine, and ended up bloating the laminate on one of my guitars. The answer I got back from them? Nothing. Nada. Not to mention D'addario (owned by Planet Waves) sound like my Arse hairs being stretched and plucked. Yeah, planet wave picks are fine. Thats because theres nothing that can go faulty with them. Stay away from ANYTHING else planet waves. Seriously. -Mick.

I know there is a strap out there which is made to help reduce shoulder and back strain/pain but I dont know the name.. And as for returning 16 broken cables, well have you ever heard the saying "fool me once shame on you fool my twice shame on me"?
