Red guitar buying strap, Mayan spirits, Leather guitar straps, Unique guitar strap, Gift for him, Gift guitarist - Nahaules Red/Orange NHG1

Handcrafted in the western highlands of Guatemala, this guitar strap is a fusion of traditional embroidery with contemporary design. The originality, beauty, uniqueness, and exceptional handiwork is a product of six small buying, local family businesses who take great pride in their artistry. Thanks to the human hands involved in each piece, all Tilde (till-day) straps are made to be original...no two can be exactly alike.

Design: Nahuales (prounounced na-wal-es) are sacred Mayan spirits used in the Tzolk'in calendar to identify each of the 20 days in every month of the Mayan calendar (there are 13). Every individual receives a personal nahual based on their birth date.
Strap Length: up to 60 inches (152 cm)
Strap Width: approx. 2 inches (5cm)
Button/Pin Hole: 6mm with 10 mm slit
Leather: Black
Tilde logo on strap: Black (not turquoise)

The strap is brand new, so just like most leather products it will take a few weeks to "soften" the new leather. We suggest the most natural, just-use-it, method rather than applying chemical softeners. From testimonials by musicians it take about 3-4 weeks of steady use (4 or 5 times a week).

Tilde Straps are a great holiday or birthday gift for the musician in your life. Check out our shop to find the perfect design and color strap! http://www.etsy.com/shop/TildeStraps

Quick notes:
-Just a little reminder leather is a natural fabric so there may be some variation in the texture, these imperfections contribute to the character of the strap without hindering the quality...we make sure of that.
-Is this for an acoustic guitar? We have extra long pieces of leather we can include in the package for you to tie the front end of the strap to the guitar neck. Please leave us a note with this request when you check out!
