Well, it’s a belt, so let’s turn it into a guitar strap…. The design team adapted our original RAS length system to the back of the strap to give it a wider range of adjustment so it’s not as tight as we sensed the original strap was, and of course we added the holes to attach the guitar
Another interesting detail of the original strap was the fix that Dr. May applied to hold his slide in place using duct tape. Again, our design team took the license to replace the duct tape with elastic bands, so that each player can choose his preferred position or even remove them to not use them or to replace them with duct tape if he prefers.
When we finished the process of recreating the strap, we sent the prototype to the USA for testing and evaluation. A few days after arriving in the USA, that first replica made by RightOn! was presented at a promotional meeting between key account purchasing executives, VOX amps managers and Dr. Brian May himself, who upon seeing the replica of his old and “lost” strap said: “Damn, I haven’t seen this strap in a long time”.
Could there be a better score for our work?… for us it was a great achievement, and we are proud to have been able to successfully reproduce this mythical guitar strap.
This year, as we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we have decided to bring this replica to the fans of Queen, Dr. Brian May and the Red Special.
The RightOn! team is confident that you will fall in love with the workmanship and that you will look as cool as Dr. Brian May did. Enjoy it!
