        <![CDATA[ Needing a few guitar straps, I found a strap maker called Italia Straps. Not knowing much about these straps, I decided to take a chance and
order a couple. They arrived quite promptly, and upon examination, I found that they were made very well and quite comfortable. The leather is very soft and
supple, and the hearty! It turns out that Italia Straps is hand-made right here in the Greater Bay Area.

			<description><![CDATA[ I have 2 real tortoise shell picks and 2 Tortis picks. I&#39;ve moved to a thinner pick lately because I&#39;ve been breaking strings like it&#39;s going out
of style and until I can get that resolved, they do reduce the breakage rate a bit. I&#39;m too lazy to get into intense saddle surgery at the moment, but
eventually, I&#39;ll get around to it. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I just bought one of these a few weeks ago.  They&#39;re definitely top quality and a great value with the Buy One Get One Free deal.  With the 4&quot; wide
strap I&#39;ve been able to start gigging again with my old Yamaha SG3000.  The strap really distributes the weight across my shoulder quite well.  My Tele and
Strat feel light as a feather with this strap.  Highly recommended. ]]></description>

A few members who have posted concerns about &quot;<strong>neck dive</strong>&quot; might look to Italia Straps to help solve their problem. Their 4-inch wide
straps with the extra surface area and suede backing are very effective in reducing or eliminating neck dive issues. Here is a response by Italia Straps:
<br>
<br>
&quot;A lot of our customers have had good luck using the 4-inch wide straps with older neck heavy guitars like SGs and Firebirds. The same also goes for heavy
and long scale basses. Our 4-inch wide
