Basically Bob Report post Posted October 14, 2014 3" straight strap designed to tie on the guitar just below the headstock. 6/7 oz veg exterior with a soft, 2/3 oz chap leather (horse) liner. Hand stitched at 7 spi with barbour 5/18 linen thread. I used 7/8 oz veg. For the shielded tail piece. This was so much easier than the custom cut, contoured straps I normally do.

Dan28 Report post Posted October 14, 2014 I like the way the small piece flares out and then to a point where it is sewed to the main strap. Its a nice accent instead of just one width going to a point. Eventually when I get through my current projects, I'm going to make myself a couple straps. I have an acoustic and an electric, but only one strap that I transfer between the two, and its just an old cheap canvas Gibson strap, with leather or maybe even vinyl tips.

Basically Bob Report post Posted October 15, 2014 Thanks, guys! Dan28, glad that you noticed the shielded strap. Labour intensive, for sure but I feel that it is worth it. It is a detail in workmanship that is and will be included in every strap I do. Makes my work recognizable, like a signature. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
