Imagine being surrounded by the shimmering iridescence of countless dragonflies-- that is exactly what happens with this bright orange custom handmade guitar strap covered with dragonflies intricately woven into exquisite brocade satin. The dragonflies are presented in glistening threads of gold, blue, green, orange, yellow, pink, and fuchsia and truly capture the ethereal nature of real dragonfly wings. The quality of the brocade used on this guitar strap is truly amazing in that the detailed rendering of each dragonfly image has been accomplished with tiny, often single weave, points of colored thread. Because of the weave style of brocade, there is a three dimensional quality to the images, an impression of being embossed. The back lining of the guitar strap is thick, shining sky blue Duchess satin that just matches the blue thread used in creating the dragonflies. The leather tabs are top of the line premium quality black suede leather.

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.

When I saw this fabric, the breathtaking detail and colors, I just had to buy it. The accuracy of the dragonflies, the iridescent aspect of the threads used in creating the images, just everything about this fabric is visually compelling. I received this beautiful fabric from www.sunnysidebiz.artfire.com. I hope you'll visit her studio sometime. Thanks!

CONSTRUCTION - The guitar strap foundation is 3 inch wide (7.62 centimeters) and 6 foot long (1.83 meters) 2000-pound test commercial grade polypropylene strap material. The strap adjusts from a maximum length of 6 feet (1.83 meters) to a minimum length of 39 inches (.99 meters).

STITCHING - All the stitching on this guitar strap is done by hand. Whip stitching runs the full length of the strap on both sides, anchoring the top and bottom fabrics to the polypropylene strap material foundation.

LEATHER TABS - The leather tabs are comprised of a 3 inch by 8 inch section of top quality leather, folded over a commercial grade plastic anchor bar and trimmed to shape. The two sides of the leather are then glued with commercial strength tanner glue and double whip stitched with heavy waxed leather sewing thread designed specifically for stitching leather. The button hole is hand punched and cut to precisely fit a standard 12mm guitar pin.
