  • Details
    Back in stock April 2022! This unique guitar strap is made with a special finish cowhide that has a buff base covered with gold glitter foil crackle finish (at certain angles, you can discern the buff under the crackle more readily than other angles, as photos demonstrate).

    The intensity of the gold and shine will vary with the angle to the light & the source--my images were taken with natural daylight and angle affected the effective shadowing... As a couple images show, the light can also reflect off the gold and it created a bit of reflection on the my grey stone background!

    My standard size is 2 1/2" wide and adjusts from about 48-59" long. I have a variation for a longer version (about 52-63"), but I can also make different widths or lengths as needed--please message me to verify before ordering!

    This special hide is glued and edge stitched with coordinating thread onto a smooth brown cowhide that is very supple and strong, and is 5-6oz thick (3/32"). I stitch around the front peg hole to ensure if any layer separation starts due to the stress of fitting on & off the peg, it cannot extend past the stitched area. (In images, a matte brown is shown, but I will likely use "Nutty Brown" as 2022 I have more of that on hand!)

    The strap shown is a dark khaki-brown leather, but pending stock the shade may vary from strap in pictures. Due to its natural source the leather may show distress marks from life experiences, as well as will age wonderfully due to oils within the hide, and will likely darken and get smoother with use.

    This strap has the logo for my guitar strap specific brand, Acoustic Needle, laser etched on the adjustment strap and the back side of the main strap.

    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 with a small bevel tool, so there is a gentle transition from the top surface to the edge.

    Eleven adjustment slots are cut about every 1", and the 1" wide adjustment strap loops through the chosen slot and is woven through the other slots to provide the desired length and fixes to the back pin on the guitar.

    I cut the adjustment strap to about 22", so the overall length can be adjusted from about 48" to 60" between the peg holes. But since I cut these myself, I can easily modify the length or spacing to get the fit that works for you. This leather will settle in with use, like all good leather does, but it will not stretch out!

    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. If you have a specific peg size you need to fit, please let me know.

    (Please note that each strap may vary slightly as this one pictured due to the unique finish of the hide--no two can be exactly alike).

    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 coordinating 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.

    Wow. Ok. You absolutely knocked it out of the park with this strap! (I'm not really a baseball fan, but hey...tis the season. Ha.) I love it. Beautiful, and super-well made, I imagine this will hold up for many years. Thank you! Photo doesn't do it the justice it deserves, but maybe it helps whoever get the idea. Thank you!
