Hendrix was most notably seen using this Ace guitar strap in late October 1968 at TTG Studios in Los Angeles. If you’re looking to buy one, Dunlop offers a well-made replica named after the studio: Dunlop Jimi Hendrix TTG Studios Guitar Strap (JH08).
The Ace Stained Glass strap was part of a series produced by the Ace Strap Company, a small California-based manufacturer that became a staple of the 1960s and 1970s music scene. Known for their vibrant, intricate designs and reliable construction, Ace straps were a favorite among many musicians of the era. The company primarily produced their straps using jacquard fabric, which allowed for detailed patterns like the stained-glass motif.
