Location: UK | Just had a thought , in the UK I make leather bags , my business partner does all manor of leather work including hand carved guitar straps , they are very beautifull , people have celtic designs and well just about anything they want , i wondered if that is something that you can get over where you are and at what sort of cost. We sell em on average for about $50 depending on the design .
On a slightly different note i am seriously worried about my self as i seem to have gone into guitar obsession overdrive zone .....it is 4.30 in the morning here. |

I'd say that's a fair price for a hand-tooled strap. |

Location: Omaha, NE | Any idea where I could get strap components? My daughter does bead work, and it would be cool to have her make a strap. But we would need the ends. Any idea on suppliers? |

Welcome, Andrea.
If you've lurked here for any length of time, you've probably already gotten a good random sampling of what we're about; if you haven't, you will soon enough.
This is a great place; you'll learn lots of really helpful stuff, and most likely, a bunch that isn't, either.
Don't let Tupperware overcharge you for his string tubes--a friendly word of warning. ;)

Carved starps could be interesting.
I get mine from El Dorado Straps, but just like guitars, you can never have enough. |
