guitar

As I began to make things out of brass for motorcycles, the Les Paul also demanded a share. Besides shining and looking like gold, I discovered that brass has some very good shielding qualities that improves the sound. First I made pickguards. I don't know exactly why it sounds better now but it does.

this old supro del mar  makes a good slide guitar. i didnt like the way the stock  pickguard covers the f-hole so made  a second

almost the Worlds Finest Guitar Strap

In my estimation this has to be almost the worlds finest guitar strap. almost, because there is no fancy stuff.  its built for work.  If you want a better mousetrap then make one. Just don't try and sell it if its not cheap. This is 2 in. wide, made with 8 oz. leather and padded for comfort. this is bootleather. There is no adjustable bullshit, a strap like this is measured eye to eye and made to fit. (it aint gonna blow out on ya either) An attractive junction is added to the tail section, and can provide some adjustment after years of stretching. they are getting used up

when they are gone....thats it,
the leather is hard to get
and harder to sell
 
   

$25

Sizes usually run 46-49 for most.
 They dont stretch much but figure on a 1/2 - 1"
for  breakin.
I still have a few of the old style
with rounded edges and porcelain beads.
The current style has the "V" edge
and brass beads

I can fix you up for acoustics and mandolins too
