  • Details
    I crafted this unique guitar strap by adapting the "trapunto" style of quilting creating almond & tear drop shapes. The main black cowhide strap has a pattern of three almonds, from 4" to 5 1/2" tip to tip, and the tear drops shapes scaled to suit the taper from the full 2 1/2" wide strap to the 2" width where the bottom of the drop is 5" from the front end that are formed by 3/16" wide strips that are 1/8" tall and then overlaying them with Italian lambskin dyed red with black blotches, using a bone folder and burnisher to form tight around the narrow strips, and then stitching around each shape to define it thoroughly.

    The lambskin covers 28 1/2" of the main strap, ending about 2" from the first slot, and the main strap is hand cut to 2 1/2" wide and tapers slightly at either end of its 42", and with the adjustment strap, the overall length for the entire strap ranges from about 49" to 59" between the peg holes with 1" intervals.

    The lambskin is glued and edge stitched on a smooth black cowhide that is strong and supple, and 5-6oz thick (3/32"). And even with the trapunto, the strap is still very supple and can still be rolled up tightly. The black leather has had the edges softened with a narrow bevel tool.

    And this leather will settle in with use, like all good leather does, but it will not stretch out! This strap has my Acoustic Needle brand logo etched on the adjustment strap.

    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.

    I have also stitched around the front peg hole to ensure the layers don't separate with repeated install/removal from the peg.

    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 black 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.

    If you have any questions, please convo me!
