Pomegranate red and sea foam green iridescent Swarovski glass beads, anchored to mint green Dupioni silk, create a stunning floral hand beaded image on this beautiful custom handmade guitar strap. The back lining of the strap is rich teal blue green Dupioni silk. The leather tabs are black premium suede leather.

The pomegranate beads, with their light interior and almost crimson exterior, are actually somewhat difficult to find. The iridescence of the green beads adds a little flash to the guitar strap without being overpowering. The mint green silk serves as a muted and very elegant backdrop to the beading while the teal silk back lining accents the teal highlights in the iridescent beads. I have had a mental image of this strap for a long time and am very happy that it came out as lovely as I had anticipated.

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.

I have had this guitar strap in my mind for quite some time but waited until I could find the exact materials in the exact colors that I envisioned. I hope you like it and thanks for taking a look!
