Red Gold Tree Branch Hand Embroidered Guitar Strap with Copper Leaves

Product Description

A most unusual one of a kind custom hand embroidered guitar strap that captures the fiery blaze of autumn. The guitar strap is red satin with hand embroidered tree limbs in gold metallic embroidery thread climbing up the front of the strap. Two pure copper vintage leaves, polished to a sparkling finish, are pinned to the guitar strap and appear to fall from the golden branches. The leaves are actual weeping birch tree leaves dipped and encased in pure copper, then burnished to a shining copper gold finish with blended red highlights. Every vein of the leaves is visible through the copper encasement. The back lining of the strap is sparkling gold fabric that picks up and accentuates the gold theme of the limbs and leaves and the leather tabs are black premium suede leather. The combination of the copper and red leaves and gold tree limbs, the red satin, and the gold back lining gives this strap a fiery but elegant look.

My guitar straps are amazingly comfortable. The 3 inch width allows for weight distribution over 50% more area than conventional guitar straps and even solid body bass players have commented on how comfortable my guitar straps are. Further, because there are 3 bottom layers of fabric between your shoulder and the polypropylene foundation, there is a soft cushion to help further distribute the weight of your guitar without holding the body heat that standard lamb's wool shoulder pads retain, so your strap is soft, cool, and comfortable. No more aching neck or shoulder and no more pressure points.

Inspiration/Story Behind This Product

I saw these wonderful vintage copper leaf pins in the studio of RoxandThings, an Artfire vintage jewelry dealer (www.roxandthings.artfire.com) and knew immediately what I would do with them. I hope you like this strap. Thanks!
