This guitar strap is made with a soft brown cowhide printed & embossed with leaves in gold & silver foil, creating a bit of defined shiny lines over a distressed background with speckles of the foil over the brown leather base. The angle and light source will make it subtle, or shiny. This thin cowhide is glued and edge stitched onto a smooth grey cowhide hide to form the main strap and the matching adjustment strap (another listing I have it on brown leather).
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 beveler, 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 buying 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 is just over 0.08" (2mm) thick, and will settle in with use, like all good leather does, but it will not stretch out with use!
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 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.
The adjustment strap is laser etched with my logo for my guitar strap specific brand, Acoustic Needle.
