The following diagrams are the three most popular guitar strap styles. They are not exact in dimension or design of actual straps, but are intended only as a reference to assist the customer in a choice of a strap style and to make ordering easier. The standard sizes of the guitar straps are listed below each diagram along with a brief description. Of course, as with all our products, custom guitar straps can be made to your specifications. Width, length, color, attachment method, etc. can be changed to suite the needs and requirements of each customer.

This is the most common guitar strap style used commercially. The standard dimensions are 2 1/2" wide, and is adjustable from 44" to 52".

This is our taper style guitar strap. The sleek design has a more custom look and slightly less bulk on the front end of the strap. The standard dimensions are 2 1/2" wide at the back end and tapering to 1 1/2" at the front end. It is adjustable from 44" to 52".

Since all of our leather guitar straps are made to suit the needs of each individual customer it is impossible to describe just one type of material or construction method used. Obviously custom guitar straps with inlay, without inlay, padding or no padding, various designs, etc., will differ from each other. However there are some basic features that should be mentioned.

We use only first grade, veg-tanned hides. These hides are tanned using natural products in the tanning process, such as tree bark and other vegetable products. This insures the fibers in the leather are not weakened or damaged which can often occur with aluminum or chromium salt processing. In addition, only veg-tanned leather can be used to properly carve and hand tool.

Our guitar straps (unless otherwise specified) are made using single layer, top grade double-shoulders. This is one of the thickest and most durable parts of the hide, providing maximum fiber strength with minimal stretch.

For more details on the construction and materials used in making our products see our "Design Page".

Our mandolin straps are constructed with the same quality materials and craftsmanship as our guitar straps. Custom made and handcrafted one at a time.

The length is fully adjustable from 34" to 44" so it can be worn behind the back or over one shoulder.

Leather loop connection with wood bead adjustment on front end and dual button hole tail piece with 8 slot positions on back end allows the strap to fit "A", "F" and "T" style mandolins.

Of course our mandolin straps can be custom made to most any size or design you would like.

At last, a totally new and unique way to dress up those drab looking "Feedback Busters". Give your prized possession that personal, custom look that has for so long been overlooked. No more plain black rubber plugs that distract from the beauty of your guitar. The leather is hand tooled, color finished and then treated with a protective sealant that hardens to a tough, durable finish that keeps the leather rigid and helps to eliminate finger nail and pick marks. Match to your custom guitar strap or guitar, use your band logo, initials or create your own personal design. Custom made and designed to fit inside the popular "Feedback Buster", our "soundhole disc" are constructed using the same high quality materials and workmanship that you will find in all of the products here at "Ovation Leather Design".
