Monterey Vintage Style Guitar Strap
Our Monterey Vintage Style Guitar Strap make us fly straight back to the psychedelic and spiritual scene of the 60s. A scene inherited from India that came to the Western world thanks to psychedelic rock bands like The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, etc.
The festival is remembered for the first major American appearances by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the Who and Ravi Shankar, the first large-scale public performance of Janis Joplin and the introduction of Otis Redding to a mass American audience.
The Monterey Pop Festival embodied the theme of California as a focal point for the counterculture and is generally regarded as one of the beginnings of the "Summer of Love" in 1967; the first rock festival had been held just one week earlier at Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, the KFRC Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival. Because Monterey was widely promoted and heavily attended, featured historic performances, and was the subject of a popular theatrical documentary film, it became an inspiration and a template for future music festivals, including the Woodstock Festival two years later.
The manufacturing process of the HipStrap is extremely detailed. This process is initiated with the personal selection of raw materials. Then, our products are made one by one by hand and tested using the highest quality standards as a reference.
