immiketoo Report post Posted March 31, 2014 The customer wanted green snowflakes. The color matches the guitar pretty closely, but it was difficult to do from a picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted March 31, 2014 Not gittin' the green snowflake thing, but that stitchin' is looking purdy! Then the inlay around the guitar seems to tie it in a bit, so maybe the customer really does know SOMEtimes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

immiketoo Report post Posted March 31, 2014 Jeff, the guitar has snowflakes on the freeboard and green abalone purling. Who am I to say no? BDAZ, I charged $250.00 for this strap. Bluesman, I used a Marlin stitch groover to make the groove. It cuts a nice channel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluesman Report post Posted March 31, 2014 I looked up Marlin stitch groover and din't come up with anything. I just ordered the Versa Groover from Douglas. That channel is the best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
