Guitar/Banjo #2260 – ON HOLD (Don)

Well done original hand tooling on a comfortably curved shoulder piece that would render a dreadnought guitar almost weightless and would shave pounds off a Strat or Tele. 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	Available
Shoulder Piece Size	14" long by 2 1/2" wide where it will cross your shoulder, tapering to 2” at both the front and the back. Hand shaped ends and fully dressed and burnished edges. The shape would best serve an electric guitar or an acoustic with a heel button, although it would do OK with a headstock attachment..
Shoulder Piece Leather	Excellent quality tooling leather. Thick and broken in soft and supple.
Shoulder Piece Stitching	I added the artificial sinew stitching, hand sewn into hand punched needle holes.
Shoulder Piece Distressed Level	Medium/low. No nicks, scratches, or blems.
Shoulder Piece Notables	The well done Flowering Vine hand tooling is in perfect condition. Email me if you’d like some closer photos. 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. The bottom of the shoulder piece is lined with new suede leather.
Strap Style	Western Rein
Strap Width	5/8"
Strap Leather	Thick, soft, supple and the absolute finest quality. Lightly skived to level out the thickness, with dressed and burnished bottom edges and slicked smooth on the back side.
Strap Distressed Level	Medium/low. A visual compliment and spot on 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 with two rows of double stitched artificial sinew. Includes a custom set-up to your specs for length and attachment points.
