Personalized Guitar Straps - A One-of-a-Kind Guitar Gift

UNIONTOWN, Ohio, Sept. 26, 2006 -- Personalized Guitar Straps are embroidered, affordable, cool and professional looking - making them a long-lasting gift idea for that special guitar player.

"It's a unique gift," said Paul Kline, owner and operator of Guitar Gifts 4 U (http://www.guitargifts4u.com). Just recently, I received an email from a guitar player who plays in a rock cover band all over the United Kingdom. This guitarist has purchased several Personalized Guitar Straps for himself and friends, because the quality and promptness was outstanding. He says he has worn his embroidered Personalized Guitar Straps on gigs and receives many compliments and inquires as to: "Where can they buy one of those cool guitar straps."

Kline also noted another experience worth sharing. Just last May, for the second year in a row, he received an order for 15 Personalized Guitar Straps, from a high school booster music club in Virginia, to honor their 15 senior guitar player ensemble group. Kline says, this just demonstrates how this guitar gift can be a unique gift for a number of special occasions.

These Personalized Guitar Straps, embroidered with band names, names, or initials, can be viewed and purchased online at http://www.guitargifts4u.com at $24.95 for a 2 inch nylon guitar strap, $34.95 for a 3 inch nylon guitar strap, and $49.95 for a genuine leather guitar straps.

An order of two or more can be mixed with leather and nylon, or all leather or all nylon and a 10% discount will be given when two or more embroidered Personalized Guitar Straps are purchased. Free shipping is available.
