Details
For fans of darker teal-blue & bit of sparkle, 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 blue-teal over black suede:
1. Crackle (also shown as a finished strap)
2. Sparkly Stripe
3. Cracked Ice
The overlay leather is printed foil over suede--all are cowhide. The color may appear more blue or more teal pending the light and other colors around it, but I used natural light and tried to ensure my color was as close to what my unaided eye sees as possible...
In the group photos, approximately 3" inches are showing, so you can see the scale of the patterns compared to each other as they'd be for a strap. I've included pictures with black leather and a white card for color comparison, as well as the Crackle which I have listed before on its own as a finished strap.
The BASE STRAP options are:
1. Maker's Choice -- Black as matches the black suede of the overlay
2. Buyer's Request -- if you'd like to see what other options I have to have, such as a blue or grey, ideally comment in the message to seller box 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. This size is based on a peg, or button for the front, and an electric pick-up at the rear. This can easily be changed at no cost to suit your guitars set up, or if you use strap locks.
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. For Strap Locks, would just be the hole for the threaded fitting for the lock.
The leather is best for acoustic, but have had many sold for solid body instruments & all have been happy--but 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!
For most of these patterns, I have at least two other colors, or the same color but in a different pattern... so if it's not quite right, please do message me, since I do get leathers faster than I list, or am happy to look for an option for you!
And I can make a matching wrist strap, too! (please message me if interested!)
