guitar strap

[Romey]

Mine isnt to tight, its close but not quite touching, it can happen for sure but the neck is bolted on from the back, and there is a truss rod in most tele necks, I dont see a tight guard puching a 3 foot plank out of wack, for one to be THAT tight I doubt one could get the guard on to begin with

Pete - That's a pretty one. I like the finish, almost a Tobacco Sunburst, but different.

To make my straps match the sunburst, I use a combo of Tan antique, with a dry rub of med brown along the edge, sometimes an edge run of black.

Romney - your right, but I think he meant mostly on the older ones where the neck tension has caused some problems and you have to kindof wiggle the neck back into alignment. The plastic guards don't leave any wiggle room, you have to shave them a bit. At least with the leather, there shouldn't be such a problem. An old product improving the modern...kewl.

That's pretty funny corter, I started up again doing leather, so I could earn enough to start building guitars...so, we're even....lol

The dreadnought kit was $450 dollars from stewmac. I figured that would be a good start.
