I lost a really nice guitar strap

Disclaimer: Yvonne and I were talking this past Friday, getting to know one another better and she said this; you like to talk.

Not necessarily. In fact, I try to be succinct in what I say simply trying to pass on information. My ex once said I should have been a preacher or a teacher

- my analogy to that is, if you ask me what time it is I'll like as not tell you how a clock works

I do like to pass on information... but, I digress.

A few months back I bought a really nice leather guitar strap from Walker&Williams-

walkerandwilliams.com/product/g-102-dark-london-tan-leather-strap-with-padded-glove-leather-back/

I didn't use it for a long time because I only recently started standing to play and it was a PITA to get it over the jack/end pin on my guitars. I did finally manage it and got complimented at open mic on it's appearance. It is (was when I had it anyway) pretty, and comfortable...and the color was in my mind, what we call oxblood and contrasted really well with my Orangewood, which is the only guitar I used it on. But< want(ed) to use it on my Guild and also see how it looked with J

BUT, I've lost it! I cannot find it anywhere! How in the world can that happen! I live in an apartment, = limited space and a guitar strap is pretty obvious. I've looked everywhere I can imagine and even where I knew I would never put it (spare bedroom because that is a junk room).

SMH- glad it wasn't expensive- I am soooo flustered at this. I just know if i buy another one it will magically reappear- but I don't believe in magic either ... lordy, lordy, lordy- I'm losing me mind

Nice strap. I lose things all the time then they show up in the least likely place. The only acoustic I had that with electronics had that end pin jack/strap button deal. Never could get a strap on it that I felt would stay put. Some company makes a special plastic thing that fits that and ties in the straps hole , D'Addario I think.

More than once... I'm befuddled- I cannot imagine losing something as prominent ad an entire strap

Garland,Derick,blues90,TonyKgull,williamtk2021,

It must have disappeared into the Sock Nexus. You know. That alternate dimension where all our socks disappear to during laundry time. Sometimes, I think, the Sock Nexus gets hungry for something a bit heartier than .......well........socks.

That's my theory anyways.

Derick, blues90, TonyKgull, williamtk2021, I ordered a new one LAST Monday- it ain't here yet.
I get stuff via USPS from others (sweetwater and strings by mail) in 4 days max. Walker&Williams is in Oxnard, California

which 'splains a lot- the tracking number service they use, is allegedly a USPS number and is a link to USPS tracking but only shows the label was created (last Monday at 6PM)... there are NO updates. I remember that from the first one I ordered... their web site says to be patient that they have been doing this for 20 years and it will arrive, blah,blah,blah, there's nothing we can do-

I say to that, au-contrare, mi amigo... you could use an actual USPS tracking system and not some jake leg rip off- SMH-
