Earth III (Earth 3) Guitar Straps Look to Make Comeback
Roy Jones, creator of the Lollipop Guitar and former employee of Earth III guitar straps and music products has applied for the trademark rights and will attempt to bring the classic guitar straps back to the market place.
Frederick, MD, August 31, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The Earth III Guitar Strap Co. was started by Richard Oliveri in the late 1970's on Staten Island, NY. He designed and created world famous guitar straps, including his best known straps, the musical note and the lightning bolt straps. He manufactured them until 1989, when he was tragically killed in an auto accident in Florida while on vacation, thus ending a great career and company.
Roy Jones, a former employee of the company now has trademark rights (serial number 87153229) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and has brought back the world famous straps worn by many great players such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, Randy Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Ace Frehley, Metallica and many others. The world famous classic guitar strap designs such as Music Note, Lightning bolt, Shooting Star, Snake Skin are being put into production.
Who is Roy Jones?
Roy Jones is a musician, artist and designer. He is a graduate of the contemporary music school Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, California. Before he attended Musicians Institute he went to the School of Visual Arts in New York City. When Roy left the School of Visual Arts in 1988 he was offered a position at Earth III on Staten Island, NY. He worked at Earth III for approximately two years but was let go due to the impending closing of the business. Among other designs and projects Roy also created the Lollipop Guitar which was sold worldwide and featured in Guitar World magazine. Roy hopes to bring back the famous guitar straps due to the current poor quality, expense in the marketplace and the lack of vintage Earth III straps on the secondary market.
Roy Jones on Richard Oliveri founder of Earth III:
"Rich was a great man who worked hard and treated all of his employees exceptionally well. When I first interviewed he actually asked me how much I would like to make per hour which was something I never encountered previously. I know that I will do my best to bring this product back not only because I feel it's a great idea but to honor him. He was one of the best bosses I have ever had."
