• Details
  This strap has an "oil slick" look that is a very smooth foil print onto sheepskin. This colorful layer have a slight texture & amazing golds, greens, blues, and purples, and has a slight sheen that does respond to the view angle and light source for a slight irridescent effect. I've tried to capture this liveliness in some of the photos with different angles of the camera or leather to the light.
  
  This amazing looking and feeling colorful leather is glued and edge stitched onto a slightly buffed wine colored cowhide that is strong and supple, and 5-6oz thick (3/32"). I have also stitched around the front peg hole to ensure the layers don't separate with repeated install/removal from the peg.
  
  On the strap shown, I left the end at the slots as the edge from the section the strap was cut, instead of rounding it on many others--but this shape, and the pattern of the oil slick, will vary strap to strap due to the inherent nature of leather hides, and the randomness of the printed pattern over the hide, so other straps may not be exactly the same as this one, and can always provide a photo for approval when made to order.
  
  I also paired this with wine colored leather to accent the red-purple hues in the print, but this can easily be applied to black (as with many other of my listings), or blue, or green or ?? (just ask about options and I can send you pictures of what I have currently on hand).
  
  This leather will settle in with use, like all good leather does, but it will not stretch out! The special finish leather is very supple, and the entire strap will easily move and conform to you & your guitar, and rolls up easily.
  
  I make these my standard length, unless otherwise requested, and the overall length can be adjusted from about 48" to 60" between the peg holes, and eleven slots about 1" apart to weave the adjustment strap through to adjust the length to suit.
  
  The holes for the front peg is punched at 5/16", and rear tab is 3/8". Each end has a small slit that ends with a small hole for a "keyhole" effect to prevent tears and to make the strap easy to install & remove. The hole and can accommodate most pegs, but remains securely in place.
  
  The main strap is hand cut to 2 1/2" wide and tapers slightly at either end, and is about 42" long. I have softened the cut edges of the main strap exposed on the slot end and the adjustment strap with a small bevel tool, so there is a gentle transition from the top surface to the edge.
  
  The 1" wide adjustment strap is cut to about 22", or effectively 18" from slot to the button hole.
  
  Since I cut these myself, I can easily modify the length or either strap, or spacing of the peg holes to get the fit that works for you. If you have a specific peg size you need to fit, but please let me know if you need a longer strap before you order--I need to verify I have enough on-hand to do so, and the price will be a little higher when more leather is involved!
  
  This strap has my Acoustic Needle logo etched on the adjustment strap.
  
  The design means the strap is only leather, and there is no metal or plastic hardware that could annoy you while you're playing, or your knock into you instrument while it's being moved or stored.
  
  I can also provide coordination leather "laces" if you prefer to tie the strap to the neck of the guitar, rather than using a front peg. There is no extra charge for these when you order the strap, but please note in the order you want it included.
