Members Colt W Knight Posted November 20, 2015 Members Report 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
Members rickdroid Posted November 20, 2015 Members Report Posted November 20, 2015 Both items are really nice. I especially like the red and black combo. rick Quote
Members Colt W Knight Posted November 20, 2015 Author Members Report Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks Rick. Quote
Members billybopp Posted November 20, 2015 Members Report Posted November 20, 2015 Both really nice! And they go together for a really good looking combo. Bill Quote
Members Allan1972 Posted November 20, 2015 Members Report Posted November 20, 2015 Nice work, that strap will be great with that custom tele. Looks like it will be super comfortable to wear. Quote
Chief31794 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Posted November 20, 2015 Great looking guitar strap. Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
Members Rohn Posted November 20, 2015 Members Report Posted November 20, 2015 Both are very nice but I like the top one especially. Besides you put my initials on it! Quote Rohn(John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV)
Members Colt W Knight Posted November 20, 2015 Author Members Report 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
