Guitar/Banjo #2272

Well done original hand tooling on a comfortably curved shoulder piece that favors the left shoulder of a right handed player. A sweet ride for any of the acoustics and a fairly lightweight strap for its size. The curved shape would work best with a heel button attachment or fastened to the bracket bolts on a banjo.

Shoulder Piece Notables This is a well used piece but the intricate tooling details are still sharp. Email me if you’d like some close-up 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 Leather Butter soft, top shelf harness 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 with no aesthetic issues.
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.
