From the Facebook page, nice straps they have. I just stick with the nylon seatbelt straps. Anything that can survive a violent automobile crash & rinse blood off has gotta be safe for the guitars I have, regardless of how boring they are. I can't possibly break a seatbelt strap.
Howdy! lololololol! Yeah I have a fancy pants guitar strap, has fancy tooling like a Tom Mix gunbealt. I'll post up some picks of it later.
In the video some young man looks like he has been eating a half cow for lunch..for one too many lunches! lol! Nice straps that Brad is making. I purchased a few ivory leather straps from Gibson and Gretch. Not sure what outfit sold them to me?
Is it a website forum?

When I read the Title of this thread a thought someone had been Reading my Mail.
Got me thinking that my Plain old strap needs some Jazzing up. Mind you it has served it's purpose a few times. Just call me a Clumsy Old Bast**d.

This is one of two leather straps I have, the other is a ivory leather fender that has padding on it.
But is is not custom made for me. I have not known you could get a custom guitar strap.

Well-Hung "Saskatchewan Snow Snake" 3" wide padded leather guitar strap Black/Creme snakey | Reverb
Been a huge cold snap up here in the Northwest, and optimal weather for harvesting the rare and unpredictable Saskatchewan Snow Snake. Being super cold-blooded, they like to bask in the frigid wintry winds, and can be found asleep laying on the snowdrifts, if you know where to look. Anything bel...

I am a member here fellas. LOL! Yes I agree Bodean does fab tooling work! But I'm not sure he pads his straps out in the luxe way I do
That's sort of my niche. I really only dabble in the tooling, but for a little show and tell, these are the last two I did the old tymey way
TBH, most fellas like my straps best for heavy duty guitars. All your featherweight bullets here? You can sling 'em on a shoestring like the old blues dudes
.But some folks think my stuff looks OK on strats too - My stuff is not from a factory or sweatshop, all handmade with guitar brotherly love.
And I LOVE LOVE LOVE when people send me pix back, because I use them to toot my own horn as loud as I can, where allowed.
@4406Pack I'm looking so forward to what we are gonna build together, thank you for the shout out!
Dang! Thats super nice!

@4406Pack reminded me that some here might be interested in a trick pickguard. Don't do these too often but they are fun.
or nods to vintagey vibe stylz
One thing I started doing just a couple years ago was strap repair. If you have a strap that you love sentimental value, vintage etc... but it's not trusty enough to use anymore, I'll do my best to make it
so you can proudly wear it again. This 60's ace needed new main leather skinny straps, and I repadded and relined the pad too. I
Can also "Big Boyify" skinny 2" hootenanny straps into 3" wide by mounting them on padded leather. a much superior strap in every way, but still retains that vintage appeal
And in light of the meltdown of a once-respected boutique strap outfit, I've taken a stab at that direction, but I still need to work on my detail sewing quite a lot!
Anyway, I believe a few really comfortable straps boosts any gear stable far more than an extra guitar or trendy fuzzbox. Less maintenance, more joy!
I could be biased LOL

Very nice!
I have been following brads post on TGP for a long time always Loved the reviews he has received he pads his straps which i need for my back and neck and has been a pure pleasure to deal with some of the straps i have seen over the years he has made are just incredible he even showed me one already kinda made with my colors already premade and affordable but not padded and looked mass produced
Keep a look out when I receive my strap i will detail the photos of workmanship and craftsmanship
Many talented Human Beings out there it is always a huge relief when you find and trust one to do something special for you!
