This bass guitar strap was inspired by North West Native American designs. My customer wanted a white strap with a Falcon design. In the end I think it also has an almost "Art Deco" feel to it. It should look nice with the Gretsch White Falcon bass.
The motifs are hand carved and embossed on a 3mm vegetable tanned modelling cowhide then hand painted with an especially formulated acrylic paint. It is lined with white calf skin leather and the strap is edged with the same leather. It is hand stitched right around with a thick saddlery type cord . The adjustment is by means of a pair of 1 mm thick length of leather lacing.
The strap is sealed with a good quality leather sealer making it easy to wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth.
