Classic images of a holy Christmas are captured on this hand embroidered custom guitar strap of marbled white crepe, with a pine bough of several mixed green and brown threads and topped with a gold embroidered Nativity star. The back of the strap is lined with with teal green crushed crepe and the leather tabs are black premium suede leather.

The pine bough on this guitar strap was something of a challenge. I wanted it to look as real as possible and actually sat with a pine bough to match the colors exactly, then created the individual stitches of the pine needles on the guitar strap to match the placement of the pine needles on my model pine bough. The Nativity star is based on a small lace Nativity star that someone had anonymously hung on our church Christmas tree. I just thought it was so beautiful, so delicate, that I wanted to recreate it as much as possible on my guitar strap. I hope you like it and thank you very much for visiting.

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 wanted to create an image that was simple and captured the peace of the Christmas season.
