This is a really stupid question, but i'v been wondering it for a while so I might as well ask. What kind of strap does Marcus Miller use? If I could find out what brand it was i would probally get one similar LOL

The original strap that MM uses was made by a guy who's been out of business for many years, IIRC. Here's a company that crafts an excellent reissue of the MM strap. Too rich for my blood, but this is the only outfit I'm aware of that makes them:

Marcus Miller

Hi, Just to inform every one.
I made Marcus original concho strap. I just received the strap back to repair it after 13 years and to make some new one's. I made straps back in the 80's and 90's before I went to work for Fender Custom Shop.
Now, I'm back making guitar straps full time.

Thanks,

Dru WhiteFeather
