Members Acid Test Posted September 18, 2008 Members Share Posted September 18, 2008 I am looking to get a real nice guitar strap for my Cranberry Les Paul. I have done a search and came up with a couple of places with custom straps - does anyone know of places on-line?

Members go cat go Posted September 18, 2008 Members Share Posted September 18, 2008 here you go. Handmade in Australia by a real artisan. I want one of these even though I don't gig out anymore. Check out her galleries, especially her movie prop ones. She is a talent. http://www.pccord.com/handmade_leather_guitarstraps.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guitar Heel Posted September 18, 2008 Members Share Posted September 18, 2008 So, by custom, do you mean like one-off or personalized, or are you just looking for a nicer-than-average strap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your description of nicer than average is more correct - this is what I had in mind. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NOS68 Posted September 18, 2008 Members Share Posted September 18, 2008 I went on the hunt for a nice leather strap for my 333 awhile back. I went with a Franklin and am very happy with it. http://www.franklinstrap.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alex_SF Posted September 18, 2008 Members Share Posted September 18, 2008 I am looking to get a real nice guitar strap for my Cranberry Les Paul. Moody. Not real fancy as far as design is concerned (though stars are an option), but the quality of leather is unbeatable -- it really feels fantastic, strong yet buttery soft, and easy on your shoulder. Allison, the proprietor, uses the term "yummy" to describe the feel, which is not too far off. They're very well-made, too -- double-stitched, triple-layer, with high-quality leather even in the middle layer. I have one, wish I had a few more.

Members Exdeath Posted September 18, 2008 Members Share Posted September 18, 2008 I got my strap custom made by a dude from Australia. Great-quality, thick leather, custom length, one-piece top with two-piece bottom. Really nice work, and it feels comfortable as hell. He worked with me really well to finalize the design, too - even builds up prototypes so you can see how well they go. Great dude. And very reasonable prices. His e-mail's billybassfish at hotmail dot com, but he hasn't responded to me in a while, but I think he might be busy. I know he does sell neat straps on eBay from time to time, though. Highly recommend him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Samnite Posted September 19, 2008 Members Share Posted September 19, 2008 Isn't there a forumite who makes badass leather straps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members surfcat Posted September 19, 2008 Members Share Posted September 19, 2008 That buy one get one free deal at Italia has me salivating. Anyone have one that can compare to Moody or others? Is it a lot better than Levy's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alex_SF Posted September 19, 2008 Members Share Posted September 19, 2008 That buy one get one free deal at Italia has me salivating. Anyone have one that can compare to Moody or others? Is it a lot better than Levy's? I have 2 Italias and a Moody. Italias are made from the same patterns as Moody (used to be partners), but: Moody's double-stitched where Italia's single-stitched, the Italia leather isn't as nice as the Moody, and Moody's 3-ply where Italia's 2-ply (but still thicker than Moody overall). So Moody is a couple levels of quality above Italia. Less easy to afford in quantity, but for one or two special guitars it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted September 19, 2008 Members Share Posted September 19, 2008 http://www.couchguitarstraps.com/ +1 I'm waiting on a Brown Deadstock Luggage, I emailed Dan at Couch regarding it and he mentioned he would personally email me when they are prepared and ready. Very friendly, I can't wait to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lucio Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 Check out El Dorado straps, they are expensive but pretty damn cool. Their tooled Tele hardware is also incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaVenCAD Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 http://www.dslstraps.com.au/ I don't own one yet, but I will soon. He does custom work, and his prices are insanely reasonable.. Well under $100 for a custom strap.. Short of that, get a nice Levy and have it customized, like my wife did for Christmas about 6 years ago.. It's the one with the conchos.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rulien Posted October 29, 2008 Members Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hey there, i make cool straps if you would like to check them out. I use buffalo and cow hides, snake if you like it...I mix in stones like amber or agate, jasper or turquoise! I like to make them to match the guitar they will go with... www.ruliens.com I am really getting into this and have made some super cool designs for people all over the place... I am thinking of taking them to some local music stores but sure would like some opinions of my stuff if you would be kind enough to let me know what you think!
