  • Details
    This strap is mainly purple... but not a heavy strong "muscle car" dark purple, but like blueberries and lavendar. The random smooth foil print over the blueberry shade of leather is full of all colors from the rainbow dotted across it, like a spray of oil--it has the sheen and iridescence like the other "oil slick" patterns I offer, but are distinct blobs or spots of foil.

    This can look subdued in some views, with just darker blobs over non shiny strap, but the colors come alive as the strap moves to other angles or light sources, creating a very colorful & flashy 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 leather is glued and edge stitched onto a slightly buffed purple colored cowhide that is strong and supple, and 5oz thick (about 2.2mm). The layered portion is over 3.2mm or 8oz thick, but still very supple, and was actually a challenge to keep it in a "pose" for photographs. I have also stitched around the front peg hole to ensure the layers don't separate with repeated install/removal from the peg.

    This special leather this can easily be applied to other base leathers, such as 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, though it doesn't like to stay rolled up on its own, thus it's not as tight of a roll as I often get for my strap photos. (I store my inventory hanging, but is shipped in a loose roll about as imaged).

    I make these my standard length of about 48" to 60" between the peg holes and width of 2 1/2"--though I can usually make custom width and length! And my default is eleven slots about 1" apart to weave the adjustment strap through to adjust the length to suit.

    The hole for the front peg is punched at 5/16", and the hole on the adjustment strap is 3/8" diameter. 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 strap as shown has the main strap 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.
