TIME CAPSULE 1971 Black Diamond NOS Strap – Sealed & Minty (Optional Case Candy Bundle)

Listen, if you’re looking for some Chinese-made, mass-produced piece of nylon that’s gonna fall apart after three gigs, go somewhere else. But if you’re the kind of cat who needs his 1971 Strat to look like it just walked off the showroom floor, then sit down and pay attention.

What we have here is a New Old Stock (NOS) Black Diamond NS-120 woven "Hootenanny" strap. This isn't just "vintage style"—this is the real-deal holy grail from 1971. It’s still factory-sealed in the original poly-sleeve with the header card punched and ready to go. While the rest of the world was busy ruining these things with sweat and cigarette smoke, this one was tucked away in a temperature-controlled vault right here in the shop. It hasn't seen a drop of UV light or a single drop of beer in over fifty years.

The leather ends are supple, the blue-and-white jacquard weave is vibrant enough to make your eyes water, and there is absolutely zero "closet funk" on this beauty. It’s as crisp as a fresh hundred-dollar bill.

The "Mojo" Bundle Upgrade

I’m feeling generous, so here’s the deal: If you want to turn your guitar case into a literal time machine, cough up an extra $60 and I’ll throw in two original 1970s Black Diamond string boxes. They aren't full—somebody actually used 'em back in the day—but they’ve got a couple of vintage strings left inside and enough shelf-wear to prove they were there when the magic was happening. It’s the ultimate "Case Candy" play.

The Hard Facts:

Year: 1971 (Back when the music didn't suck).

• Condition: Mint/NOS. Factory sealed. Never handled by human hands since the Nixon administration.

• Design: Blue, black, and white medallion weave—classic outlaw energy.

• Provenance: Kept in a pro-shop environment. No dry rot, no fading, no bullshit.

Pricing:

• Strap Only: $169.00

• The Full "Case Candy" Kit (Strap + 2 Boxes): $229.00

Don't wait around for another one of these to pop up, because they won't. Grab this piece of history before I decide to keep it for myself just to look at it.
