Members chancey77 Posted May 31, 2013 Members Report Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) This is the pattern and sizes for the Waylon Jennings Strap and most guitar straps with a buckle and wide for names. Feel free to modify the widths to your wishes! This is just a basic design. I hope this helps answer some questions. I have been making guitar straps for a long time and this is one of my favourites. Personally I prefer my front strap end a little wider and shorter...but like I said feel free to modify what you want! I am just trying to help the newer folks and people just getting into straps. As you can see on the Ronnie Hymes strap; since he plays a jumbo acoustic like I do I tapered the front of the strap more. Good Luck and HAPPY POUNDING! IMPORTANT MEASURING TIPS! 1.Always measure hole to hole for clients straps, so you have a overall length. The buckle adjustment and extension strap length can vary. But always use that 1st measurement as a guid to have as a middle point in the buckle holes. Incase they change the guitar and the profile is different and lengths need to be different for say an Acoustic or a Strat.. 2. Always measure from the front hole to the Collar bone on you/Clients if this is for a customer for NAME STRAPS. the worst thing is if the name ends up going up over the shoulder. So ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS make that measurement! Feel free to ask questions there are enough of us here that can lend an ear and spout some comments. Cheers!

Members PcCowboy Posted June 1, 2013 Members Report Posted June 1, 2013 nice info. My wife a few years back made one for Brad Johnson, who gave it to Willy Nelson as a present. Quote We don't just build saddles, we create them.

Members coop Posted June 15, 2013 Members Report Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) I have someone that asked for a 60" from hole to hole. What would the measurements of the main strap be? I guess if you made it 52" and the buckle strap 14" that would give you enough adjustment. Edited June 15, 2013 by coop Quote
Members Cyberthrasher Posted June 15, 2013 Members Report Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) I guess if you made it 52" and the buckle strap 14" that would give you enough adjustment. Well, that would give him 6" of adjustment if my math is right. So, now lay that out on some poster board and try it out remember to add some extra length to that buckle strap though, to account for the fold over on the buckle.
