“TERRY AWESOME STRAP!!!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR
KINDESS IN HOLDING THIS STRAP FOR ME! Got it quick too! It is the FIRST time ever I got something that looks exactly like the picture! I will get my sis to take a picture and I will send it to
y"all. Now, my sis is inquiring about one for her. She is a arty type of person. She adored the Passion strap. And she wants a strap with some kind of snakeskin. She can't afford the top of
the line customs you make, (but they are all Customs anyway! (Epecially with your custom service on top of the beautiful products) She is in no hurry, but she really liked mine. (The new leather is
awesome too; softer, but I love the leather on mine as well. Very, very classy!) Even my brother-in-law went Ga Ga over it! I will be very proud to wear it! (And of course tell everyone where it
came from. You can email me or my sis directly with anything you think she might like in the general price range of mine. Her Schecter acoustic is red-burst with abalone trim. Actually, my strap
would have been perfect, but I saw it first!!! I love my new strap. My sis is very funny like you, we both fell over laughing with the letter you enclosed! (Definitely NOT a piece of #%#%#!) :>
Anyway, I know you will find something she will like. I'm sure she would enjoy any selections you pick out. I want to thank you again Terry for the personalized customer care as well. Y'all are
top notch!!!!” Sheila Smith, Vidor, TX

“Aloha Dena and all: I love the Chili Pepper camera strap and all of the extra parts-it looks great on my Nikon, and like Terry, I like
my camera to be well dressed - whether to the beach or to photograph real estate. In addition, black and red is my favorite combination of colors anyway, even though I will have to wait a bit longer to
get the red Boxster w black interior. Take care.”

Leon Ritchie of Scottsdale, AZ sent these pictures of himself wearing an Action custom camera strap. Leon wanted extra shearing, so he got it. Leon has
since ordered two more camera straps made to his specs. The new straps are shown in “Your Design.”

“Terry sorry it has taken so long to get back to you.The guitar strap was a hit. It is so beautiful he absolutely loves it he thinks it
the coolest thing ever. Eric wants to know who has strap #2 since his is #3. I gave it to him just before we left to go to Hawaii for the wedding. So get this while we are over on Kauai we found this
cool guitar shop called Scotty’s that carried Martin guitars (which Eric loves Martins). They had a special edition Koa Martin there that was for sale so to finish off the wedding gift we got him a
new guitar to go with his new strap and it what more perfect wood since we were in Hawaii than Koa.Thanks for everything it is really beautiful. We’ve attached pictures of the strap with its new
guitar. Thanks again for everything.”

“I thought you might be interested in the posting I just made to the Flatpick-L list, an international collection of acoustic guitar
flatpickers. I so please. I will photograph it today or tomorrow and send you the results.
‘All the talk about guitar straps reminded me that I needed a new one. I prefer non-adjustable straps, and despite
a modest expansion of my jacket size in recent years, my old (made by hippies in the early 70s) strap still fits--45" from hole to hole.
After reviewing the posts and a Google search I decided to call Action Custom Straps in Indianapolis yesterday morning,
and asked if they could make one their "Gunsmoke" models to my specifications. It looks like this:
http://tinyurl.com/pptgp
They had a sale going and offered 25% off, but what blew me away was that they made it yesterday afternoon, sent it
FedEx, and I got it at noon today, just 24 hours after ordering it! It is gorgeous, and quite comfortable.
If you are in the mood for a custom strap, I don't think you could do better. 800-354-4939, ask for Terry.
The usual disclaimers about conflict of interest apply.
Bill’
Thanks again, and I WILL be placing another order soon. Bill”

“Mr. Terry L. Misner, I broke your custom strap in royally during a five hour dance here in Juneau, Alaska on April 1, 2006, and
received raving compliments from those who noticed the custom Alaskan Golden North Star & name on stage. More importantly, this strap fit and held my Fender Precision Bass, with it’s HB1 tuning
machine heads, and Leo Quan badass III bridge (a lot of metal weight) so comfortably it was like an Alaskan eagle feather, making it pure pleasure to play into musical bliss, not once being worn down by
the ball and chain effect. Thank-you, Terry. I’ll forever be appreciative of your beautiful work.”

“Hi Terry and everyone at Action Custom Straps! I've enclosed a picture of me with the very beautiful red rattlesnake strap. I have
played for many years and didn't realize until now what a difference a top quality strap can make! We had been on stage almost two hours when this picture was taken and I was so pleased with how
comfortable the strap was. Organized Chaos is a high energy act and your wonderful strap helps me fit the bill thru the night!”
thanks again, Greg Byrd, Midland, Texas

Richard D. Wile first contacted us in February of 2005 regarding having a couple of custom straps made for his son, Richard A. Wile, who at the time was 12
years old. After much patience on both Richard’s part, three custom straps were sent to Canada to go on RAW’s guitars. Below are some of the pictures and comments that Richard has
sent.

“Terry, The straps arrived yesterday, I only arrived a few minutes ago. The straps are awesome, we are very pleased with the final
product. In particular the colour of the body leather for the LP strap. I have to admit I was sceptical about your colour choice, but I learned long ago to let experts do their work and boy what a choice
it was. The colour is perfect, in fact it seems to pick up the very slight green (olive) hue to the LP wood and the colour sympathizes quite well – in fact perfectly.
Of course I will send you some photos and a testimonial you can use, the boy would love to see his picture on your site. I will take a couple
of action shots at his band gig this weekend. Give me a bit of time. We appreciate the effort and of course your decision to make a third strap was very much appreciated, with 7 guitars, you can never
have too many straps. You are a hero... Thanks again Terry and I will get you some shots and a testimonial from the star that you can use. Cheers,”
Richard D. Wile, Bedford, Nova Scotia

This is a picture that Richard sent of a Zone bass we made a strap for.
Below is a picture that Richard sent recently of RAW in action at SummerRock 2005. He’s looking like a seasoned pro already!

“This strap is unbelievable in its comfort. I thought a padded strap was the only way to go for a Les Paul, I now know
that Terry designs the most comfortable straps you could use on stage.”

“Terry, Sorry to take so long getting back to you—I have been out of town. The straps are
terrific. Even better than I expected. Thanks a million.”

“Hi both, I received my Earth Child today. I only had to pay £8,63 (about $16) as import tax. The strap is fantastic, so supple yet
strong. The finish is superb and the colours very pleasing. Exactly what I was hoping for (after taking months deliberating). So was I ripped off? Certainly not. Apart from the exquisite design, this
strap is hand made. Sheer quality. That is worth paying for. I'm delighted. Also the service is so friendly and understanding. Absolutely no pressure, just excellent advice. Yes, I'm totally
grateful for your patience, assistance and expertise. What more can I say except thank you very much. I'll try to sort out some photographs but,in the meantime, if you wish to publish any of my
comments, please dedicate them to 'a delighted Rory Gallagher fan'. I'll probably spend the next month or so deciding whether to go for the Indian Blanket. That would look terrific on my
acoustic. Speak to you again. Best Wishes,”

“Hi! I got the strap yesterday, and it is a stunner! I am very happy with it. I had no problem with the delay, it gave me an extra
day of anticipation. Thank you for all of your attention. My wife has a nice camera, and I think for mother's day she will be getting a Action Custom Strap. You know your doing it right when you get
repeat customers! Thanks again!”
Mike Moore.
P.S.- I will be sending a picture of the strap on my guitar after the holidays.

“Hi Terry. I received my strap this morning. Wow it looks great. I think the lizards are pretty cool. I’m glad we went with the wider strap….it’s extremely comfortable. Also the top lizard sits right on my shoulder so it turned out just right. I’ve got two more gigs to
play this weekend so I’ll give it a try. Thanks again”
