• Naturally-tanned high quality leather

• Two layers of padding for long lasting comfort

• Choice of 9 stitch colours

• Optional suede or nubuck underside

The Pinegrove GS61 leather guitar strap is hand built for comfort as well as looks.   On the top side is thick 5oz (2mm) vegetable-tanned cowhide, made by artisan tanners in Tuscany, Italy.  The tannery uses centuries-old methods with natural tannin-rich  materials such as oak bark.  After several weeks, the resulting leather is softened by gentle tumbling in oils and waxes. This also enhances the natural grain. Every strap is different.

The underside of the strap can be made with grippy suede or nubuck leather. Nubuck is a polished suede that provides some grip, but slides when you want to adjust your playing angle. Just release a little pressure.  Both options are made from high quality cowhide that will not crack or wear out.

Inside the strap are two layers of cushioning - a layer of sports foam, plus another layer of thick wadding, These provide plenty of comfort for long gigs.  The whole strap is expertly stitched together with highest quality non-decay thread, so it will stand up to tough treatment for many years.

 

The GS61 guitar strap is 2 3/8" wide (a full 60mm). We also have a 3" strap with the same design, the BS63. The strap has a standard interweave adjustment tailpiece with 8 slots, giving a long adjustment range - see the options. The pin holes are a standard 8mm (3/8") wide. Add a note to your order if you require larger pin holes for strap locks.

About Natural Leather (Items marked NT or VT)

Natural leather (AKA vegetable-tanned leather) has been made in the traditional way dating back hundreds of years.  This artisan craft uses natural tannin-rich plant extracts such as from oak bark.  It produces the most luxurious leather, but is slow and expensive. Pinegrove's natural leather then goes through a softening process, where the leather is tumbled in rotating drums with organic waxes and oils. This also enhances the leather's natural grain.

The colours and textures available in natural leather are often limited, so we use other leathers too.  These are always high quality leather, and usually full-grain. Some have an applied finish which we cannot source in natural leather. Examples are mock-croc (cowhide debossed with a crocodile-skin effect), nubuck and some leathers with an antique/relic effect.
