About the service
I make leather guitar straps by hand for a specific musician and specific instrument, not using an averaged template. Before starting work, we discuss the details: acoustic or electric guitar, body weight, whether you play standing or sitting, if you need a thin inconspicuous strap for the stage or, conversely, a noticeable accessory with decorative embossing on the front.
I use dense vegetable-tanned leather in my work — this type of surface holds embossing, coloring, and edge polishing well, unlike leather substitute with a printed pattern. I offer several construction options: a lightweight single-layer strap, a two-layer strap with soft suede or felt lining for long performances, and also a wide model with a decorative embossed panel in front and a smooth comfortable lining in back. Standard width is five to eight centimeters, length is adjustable with classic lacing or a buckle, so the strap remains comfortable when you change clothes or instruments.
Hardware is solid metal, matched to standard mounting holes, all loaded points are reinforced with additional stitching or a riveted backing plate: the strap is designed for years of rehearsals and concerts, not for a one-time photo shoot. If you send measurements of your favorite old strap or desired length from shoulder to instrument, I will replicate them as accurately as possible. Embossing ranges from restrained minimalist finishing to full-fledged custom artwork: initials, band logo according to your layout, geometric or botanical ornament, pattern according to your sketch. Available in natural color, several aging shades, and two-color edge treatment.
Production time is about ten days depending on embossing complexity and current workload; at each stage (cutting, embossing, final assembly) I send photos so you can request minor adjustments before shipping. I package the finished strap in acid-free paper along with leather care instructions so it doesn't dry out or crack over time. This order is suitable for touring and studio musicians, collectors, and those looking for a gift for a guitarist with real character. Write the type of instrument, desired width and length, and ideas for embossing — I'll send a sketch and exact cost before cutting begins.
