A good friend of mine brought me a guitar strap that was given to him by a close relative, more than twenty years ago. It's a great piece but unfortunately is very uncomfortable to wear because the nature of mystery braid digs into his shoulder.

Here's my solution: I put together a hand stitched and 18" shoulder strap that attaches to the original. I used 8oz. veg tanned leather with a 2 oz., supple horse liner.

It is quite comfortable now!

Looks good and you fixed it where it is comfortable for your friend to use. Nice job.

Nice work. I like how you attached it to the strap by slipping the loops through the braid, instead of just over it.
