  • Details
    I crafted this unique guitar strap by adapting the "trapunto" style of quilting by applying leather shapes on the main strap and then overlaying them with a bronze to antique gold random stripe lambskin, using a bone folder and burnisher to form around the shapes and lay flat, and then continuously stitching around each shape and path stripe between with black thread to define it thoroughly. For this design, I used 8 squares in two sizes set on point as diamonds and alternate.

    The lambskin is glued and edge stitched on a smooth black cowhide that is strong and supple, and 5-6oz thick (3/32"). And to cover all the stitching, on the back side I've applied a strip of lambkin, and restitched all around for comfort and a clean look, and protects the diamond stitching from wear. I have also stitched around the front peg hole to ensure the layers don't separate with repeated install/removal from the peg.

    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", but 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, please let me know.

    This leather will settle in with use, like all good leather does, but it will not stretch out!

    This strap has my new brand, 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.
