Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted June 30, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted June 30, 2009 David, you do have all things centerd but...................when the strap is finished , it looks to me like the name is going to be on the bend of the shoulder , i think it would look better if the name was closer to the end of the strap.

Members dscott Posted June 30, 2009 Author Members Report Posted June 30, 2009 thank you i would not have thought of that till it was too late i may need to come up with a different design to go arround it David Quote My Leather Work
Contributing Member rdb Posted June 30, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted June 30, 2009 My general rule is that the lettering should not go higher than 10" from the peg hole end. Hold a guitar to your chest, and you'll see that the front view is only good, in most circumstances, for the first foot. Some rockers like a low slung strap, which gives more room, but for most, it's just that first 8-10". Quote Web page Facebook

Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted June 30, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted June 30, 2009 thank you i would not have thought of that till it was too late i may need to come up with a different design to go arround it David David something to think about........Bring the chain down to the bottom, let the first chain link surround the straplock hole, then start the name. This might work better. Quote Luke
