An extraordinary find for high-end British Invasion collectors and vintage case candy purists, this authentic Original Vintage 1960s Vox Factory OEM Guitar Strap survives in remarkable New Old Stock (NOS), unused vintage condition. Originally bundled inside hardshell cases with golden-era Vox guitars—including the iconic Phantom, Mark VI / Mark XII Teardrop, Bobcat, Cheetah, and Spitfire—finding an original 1960s example that was never gigged or worn out is exceptionally rare.
Manufactured during the mid-to-late 1960s European production era (JMI UK / Thomas Organ Italy), the strap features a 5/8" stitched black vinyl belt, a period-correct nickel wire tongue buckle, and a curved, sliding shoulder pad backed with plush off-white felt/fleece cushion. The keyhole end slots remain tight, crisp, and un-stretched, and the vinyl remains remarkably soft, supple, and crack-free. This is the ultimate missing link needed to make a collector-grade vintage Vox guitar 100% factory complete.
