First Guitar strap for a new musician

Recommended Posts

My grandson recently decided that he was going to learn to play the bass guitar, so while his other grandparents bought him a guitar, I took the opportunity to try my hand at making him a strap for it.  I think it turned out pretty good.  At least he is happy with it.

Nice work for a good looking kid. Two of my great grand daughters have taken up the guitar. If they stick with it awhile I'll make them both a fancy strap.

I made the strap adjustable since he still has a few years of growth left.  But I told him that if he sticks with it then when he turns 20 (and is hopefully finished growing) them I will make a new custom fitted strap for him.

You may have to wait a while.  Currently he thinks he is in to Ska music.  I'm trying to convince him that he needs to look at the great bassists like Jaco Pastorius or Paul McCartney.  His response was "Who?"  I can understand him not knowing Pastorius, but McCartney? I'm really going to have to work on his education.

Thanks.  However we have 12 grandkids.  The problem now is that I'll have to figure out what to make for the rest of them.

Nothing like seeing a smile on grandkids faces.  Well done.  That should last him for a long time.  Great job on the lettering.  Those are so hard.
