Colt W Knight Report post Posted November 20, 2015 Just finished building this guitar, and decided to do a little coaxing and make a strap for it. 5/6 veg tan, lined with red garment leather and a sheep shearling pad. The top is airbrushed with Angelus leather paint ( this stuff is amazing by the way). Once I got it made, the blazingly bright cherry red looked off, so I gave it a coat of black antique and rubbed it a little. I think it looks better now. The black and bright red was just too contrasty and clean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rohn Report post Posted November 20, 2015 Both are very nice but I like the top one especially. Besides you put my initials on it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colt W Knight Report post Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks yall. I've really been liking those silver letter initials lately. I think they are pretty classy, and relatively cheap. Even though I put the buckles and silver initials on this strap, I wanted to avoid a western tooling look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Luthier as well?? Very impressive. What do your guitars run? Eddie Thanks, they vary a lot because I take custom orders typically around 1500$ Edited November 22, 2015 by Colt W Knight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
