Guitar/Banjo #2217

Well done original hand tooling on a slightly curved shoulder piece. A very sturdy but lightweight strap that would best carry any of the larger acoustics although certainly capable of handling an electric or heavy banjo. The curved shoulder piece is symmetrical so it would suit either a right or left handed player. Unless I hear otherwise, I’ll set it up to cross the left shoulder for a right handed player.

Features:

Status	SOLD
Shoulder Piece Size	16" long by 2" wide the full length.
Shoulder Piece Leather	Very supple tooling leather. Tooling leather is “harder” than harness leather and readily accepts and holds the fine tooling details indefinitely.
Shoulder Piece Stitching	Artificial sinew hand sewn into the original needle holes.
Shoulder Piece Distressed Level	Low. I believe this piece was made sometime in the 90’s but it’s in excellent condition. The tooling details are sharp and the surface shows little wear for its age.
Shoulder Piece Notables	Extremely well done Flowering Vine hand tooling by an unknown craftsman. Email me if you’d like some closer photos. The bottom of the shoulder piece is lined with new suede leather. Since the shoulder piece doesn’t slide on the strap to adjust position I’ll also need an additional measurement to properly locate it for you.
Strap Style	Western Rein
Strap Width	5/8"
Strap Leather	Very supple and high quality tooling leather. Lightly skived to level out the thickness, with original hand dressed and burnished top edges. I dressed and burnished the bottom edges and slicked it smooth on the back side.
Strap Distressed Level	Medium/low, no issues and a great match to the shoulder piece..
Strap Notables	A few inches on each were skived thin enough to make a neat and flexible connection to the shoulder piece and securely fastened two rows of double stitched artificial sinew. Includes a custom set-up to your specs for length and attachment points.
