I've had one of these straps that's solid black for about 6-7 years.  It's one of my all time favorite straps!  I had Fender strap locks on it for my Strat.  I got another guitar, and decided to order this version of it, since it would look great with a red guitar.  This is definitely not the same strap it used to be.  It looks the same,,,but it sure doesn't feel the same. I even went back and double checked my original order...same model.  This is more irritating to the neck.  I'm very disappointed...however, for the price...what can I do?  If I spend $10 in the store, it wouldn't be any better.  The new guitar is super light, too.  If I'd spent what I purchased my first one for, I'd be very upset!
