Details
For sparkly & pink fans, you can pick your favorite "overlay" leather, which will be over a base strap (the slot area and tail piece show the base color only*). I acquire leathers faster than I make into straps, so have created this listing showing an example or two of the overlay on finished strap, but the others are not yet cut/sewn for a strap.
The Overlay options in this listing are:
1. Iridescent silver crackle over pink (slight roughness to the feel of the iridescent print)
2. Sparkly dots over dark pink (shown as finished strap, as in another listing with special shape at slot end)
3. Sparkly stripes over pink
4. Dark pink "cracked ice" over black
5. Mini leopard print foil over pink (this is shown as a finished strap, with dark brown leather, and curved end above slots represents how all here will be made).
The overlay leather is printed foil over suede, except #3 is full grain--all are cowhide.
In the group photos, approximately 2 1/2" inches are showing, so you can see the scale of the patterns compared to each other as they'd be for a strap. And the Mini Leopard and Sparkly Dots are shown on straps, too. I have a few paler pinks and rose gold crackle over pink that will be in set #2.
The BASE STRAP options are:
1. Maker's Choice -- a warm brown shade will be chosen, except black will be used for #4.
2. Black -- my default for #4, the other pinks can look good over black, too.
3. Buyer's Request -- if you'd like to see what other options I have, such as wine, blue, or more limited, a hot pink, pick this option. Ideally comment in the message to seller your preference, and I'll message you to send pictures and confirm your choice. If you forget to comment, I'll message you to ask...
These straps will be made to order, so I can easily adjust length or width or any other details to suit the player or instrument. But the listing is set up with the STANDARD size, which is 2 1/2" wide and adjusts from about 44" to 54", but I can make narrower or wider, or shorter or longer, a specific hole-to-hole length and adjustment range as requested--please message me and I'm happy to create a custom order for you if anything is outside of this listing options or price (higher or lower).
There is a slight taper to the front peg hole, which is 5/16" diameter, and the strap adjusts with a "tail" piece with 3/8" diameter peg hole that weaves through slots for the desired length. (The mini leopard print shown in the group shot has some of the tapered front end).
The holes have a "key hole" finish, being a small hole is punched about 1/2" above the main, and joined by a slit to allow for easy fit over the top of the button/peg on the guitar, and the diameter nestles onto the waist. I can make this a hole only and sized to suit strap locks, or unique strap buttons. The front end of the strap is shown on the second image of the mini leopard print.
The leather is best for acoustic, but have had many sold for solid body instruments & all happy customers--if for a bass, I do have some even thicker leathers that are better suited to handling the weight, without risk of stretching the holes.
*Please message me if you are interested in covering the entire strap with this overlay!
And I can make a matching wrist strap, too! (please message me if interested!)
