Introducing the Ramones guitar strap



From the EVG inbox...

Volume & Tone is pleased to announce the release of “The Ramone” guitar strap, created in collaboration with fan favorite, Richie Ramone of The Ramones. This Strap is the first in a series of Celebrity Strap collaborations that Volume & Tone is launching, with 30% of all proceeds going to one of our favorite charities “The Maxlove Project."

The Maxlove Project was Inspired by SuperMax Wilford, a six-year-old fighting brain cancer, MaxLove Project is a 100% volunteer-driven, grassroots nonprofit organization founded to help SuperKids thrive against cancer and life-threatening conditions. Their mission is to provide families fighting childhood cancers with accessible, practical, and kid-friendly whole-body wellness.

“The Ramone” was designed to look and feel like the Schott Perfecto, America’s finest and most symbolic leather motorcycle jacket. Outsiders and lone wolves like Marlon Brando and Steve McQueen wore early versions of the jacket, and later The Ramones wore it as their unofficial uniform, and cemented the jacket’s reputation as a symbol of Rebellion.

Price: $130.

Richie is now fronting, singing and playing guitar. Check out the website for steep discounts. Punk rock!

There really is no end of crap people will come up with to sell. This will probably be touted as local, too.

Hey there all, Actually Volume & Tone is created by two longtime punk pioneers from the EV from 1978-into the late 90's. The straps are super Lux, and a percentage goes to charity. Kids with Cancer. Thanks for your interest and comments!
