Guitar Strap For A Friend

Recommended Posts

Here are a few shots of a recently completed guitar strap for a friend of mine. You probably can't guess what band he likes. It's about 4 oz veg tan with a deer lining, and a pick holder on back. I bought the deer hide on sale, and it was just crap when it arrived. The grain side was terribly wrinkly and looked like it had been dragged through a coal mine. I kept it anyway and ended up using the flesh side for this and other projects! Props for the deer idea to Colt Knight. This feels like buttah against skin!

Awesome strap! Very nice detail, the brick pattern. So neatly painted too, very well done.

Thanks! LOL ... There were certainly some brick walls hit on this project.

Pictures don't really show the depth of the color on the rainbow, but what a time getting it on there. The acrylic that I used goes on very transparent, so there had to be a white ground beneath, and then two to four airbrushed color coats for each color. But it has the kind of depth that you see in a really nice car finish!
