Every musician understands the importance of their instrument, and just as vital is the connection they feel to their gear. A guitar strap is more than a mere accessory; it’s an extension of the guitarist’s personality and style.

From uniquely designed personalized guitar straps to rugged studded options and comfortable padded straps, our leather workshop offers a diverse range of choices to make each strap truly one-of-a-kind.
Our personalized guitar straps stand out as a favorite among customers, perfect for self-expression or as exceptional, memorable gifts for birthdays, holidays, or milestones like retirement. Guitarists of all levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals, choose our straps because of the extensive customization options and the sheer variety we offer. You can prominently display your name or initials with our distinctive lettering styles, ensuring your strap is as individual as your music.
Explore Our Range of Custom Guitar Straps
We offer several distinct series of custom guitar straps, each with its unique aesthetic and crafting technique:
The Classic Series: Timeless Elegance
For a touch of traditional craftsmanship, our Classic Series features letters deeply debossed into the leather. Using metal imprint plates and a traditional hammer technique on dampened leather, we create a lasting impression of your chosen name or initials. These straps are available with letter sizes of 3/4 inch and 1 inch, offering a bold yet refined personalization. You can further embellish your classic strap with additional metal decorations for a truly bespoke design.
The Etched Series: Bold and Colorful Statements
Make a statement with our Etched Series custom guitar straps. Large, impactful letters are meticulously etched into the leather, creating a pronounced outline that we then hand-paint with artist-grade tools in your preferred color. This series allows for vibrant personalization that truly pops. Beyond lettering, we can also incorporate symbols like treble clefs or music notes to reflect your musical passion.
The Scripted Series: Artistry in Every Detail
Our Scripted Series represents the pinnacle of handcrafted detail. Creating these custom leather guitar straps is a labor of love, demanding hours of meticulous work. Each letter is hand-drawn and then painstakingly outlined using a fine hand tool with a textured point, hammered hundreds of times into the dampened leather. The textured area is then carefully hand-dyed with an artist’s brush, leaving the raised letters in their natural leather color for a striking contrast. This technique can also be applied to other symbols like music notes, treble clefs, or crosses, adding intricate detail to your strap.
The Studded Series: Rock-Inspired Edge
For guitarists who want to inject some rock and roll attitude into their gear, our Studded Guitar Strap series is the perfect choice. Adorned with a variety of embellishments, from shotgun shell decorations and distinctive metal conchos to classic metal studs, fancy buckle sets, and even jeweled studs, these straps are designed to stand out. We can even personalize these studded straps further with silver-plated metal letters for an extra touch of customization.
The Electric Acoustic Series: Tattoo-Inspired Art
Inspired by the art of tattooing, the Electric Acoustic Guitar Strap series brings vibrant, flowing designs to your guitar strap. Using colored etching techniques, we create intricate patterns like flowers, dragons, hearts, and skulls that run through the strap, offering a unique and artistic expression.
The Inlay Series: Subtle and Sophisticated Personalization
The Inlay Series offers a more subtle form of personalization. While the main strap showcases exquisite inlay work, the narrow adjustment strap can be etched with a name or special date. This discreet personalization is often appreciated by musicians as a personal touch, visible to them but understated to an audience. These straps are incredibly time-consuming to craft, with each inlay section meticulously hand-cut and stitched around every curve. As a testament to their quality and comfort, all Inlay Series straps are lined underneath with soft garment leather, included in the price.
Christian Guitar Straps: Faith-Based Expression
With the growing popularity of praise teams in churches, we offer a range of Christian guitar straps. Perfect for church musicians seeking to express their faith, these straps can incorporate religious symbols such as Celtic crosses, praying hands, or the Christian fish symbol. As all our custom leather guitar straps are made to order, you have the freedom to choose the symbols that resonate with you.
Plain and Practical Options
For those seeking simpler and more affordable options, we also offer plainer styles like our Double Stitch Guitar Strap, which can be customized with contrasting thread colors, and the Belt Style Guitar Strap, featuring a hand-tooled design down the center. Even these simpler straps can be personalized with a name or date etched onto the narrow adjustment strap.
Comfort and Customization Beyond Style
Beyond aesthetics, we understand the practical needs of musicians. Many customization options are available to enhance the comfort and functionality of your personalized guitar strap. For taller players, we can create extra-long straps. For musicians who play heavy electric guitars for extended periods, we offer padding options. Our tested 1/4 inch thick foam rubber padding provides excellent memory and comfort, resisting compression even under prolonged pressure. We also offer genuine sheepskin padding for a luxurious feel. While acoustic guitarists may not require padding, a soft garment leather lining can add a touch of luxury and improve comfort and movement on the shoulder.
