Thanks to "Squatcher" for the bitchin' track!
Looks like I won't have 'em "in-hand" now 'til Wednesday.
Then I'll be packaging, make all the reverb listings etc.
Here's how pricing will work:
Via Reverb:
$7US each
10 sides cream OR black $30US (5 toggle rings)
20 sides (all 10) $50
Plus ship: $14 US tracked
Will gladly combine ship with any strap or Pro-pins purchase.
Off-Reverb FORUM PRICE
(message me here)
5 black or 5 cream $30
Mix & Match any five (no repeats) $35 US
All ten rings (20 sides) $55
(Incl. shipping via regular snail mail in a typical envelope, un-tracked).
Decent value compared to competition which are priced higher, and only have a single side.
They are 34mm across with a 12.5mm center hole. Also .39 mm thick which is lower profile than typical. I believe they will install either over top your current plate (if you wish), or replace fully if that's your preference. Think of it as thinner library card pvc-type material. Last time I had these made they I went 1mm thick, I fielded some complaints they seemed too "beefy".
Will ship as quickly as humanly possible.
As far as the cream/ivory match? No guarantees but will be in "the neighborhood"

Easter may be over, but I had myself one of the more holey days I've had in a long time here in the StrapLab!
I punched so many holes into some shiny black leather this morning my arm is still sore!
But in the end I guess it was worth it. A couple weeks ago Josh asked if I could make a strap that would closely match his favorite stage performing shoes, which happen to be a pair of those black and white Oxford wingtip dealios. I have a pair of golf shoes like that once so quite familiar with the vibe. Sort of a classic two-tone tuxedo effect. And after six plus hours, it was done.
There's a few layers here, and he complicated things a bit by wanting something extra long, and extra shiny with the black... I had recently picked up some black...
but had to order in the white. I don't work with white often. It does take a LOT of extra care on the bench.
Waiting to hear back if he uses straplocks or not. Goes as long as 62" - should be on the way to the formal gala tomorrow!

Today on the bench, some new mexi-blanket I found during my holiday travels. My long-sufferin' wife puts up with all manner of stops and diversions when we travel, and I am grateful!
It's actually the very blanket I've been seeking for years now. Four new "Bandido - La Tierra" should be complete and in the Reverb store tomorrow. One of my favorite straps I make, and just a pure joy to wear. Great earthy colours here, golden brown, milk chocolate and black.
Late yesterday I started on a 4" wide Metis strap... I don't know if it's going up on reverb, might be a faster sale via my local guitar store,
as there is a local Metis settlement nearby. This one was finished early in the day today.
This feedback of "Old Glory" by John in California... just in today
I like that fact Johnny pointed out the uniqueness of my strap designs. Not just unique in form, but also HIGHLY practical in function - at least I think so.
They feel so right on the shoulder. If you are not yet in the Warrior Clan of Well-Hung, I believe I likely am building the strap you've been searching for
and have yet to find, right here in front of you.
Give me a try!

My “Old Glory” strap is one of my favorites…goes well with any of my Gibson faded/worn cherry guitars. Also super comfortable!
Really digging the look of the four Banditos! Nice!

Behind the scenes here I'm on pins and needles, still waiting for those dang Poker Chips, turns out the package was not completed with all the address info (partially my fault for not checking), so it's been floating around withing 30 miles of the final destination for a week. Then I go to the UPS website to change it to proper, and after creating an account and five attempts to redirect, I ended up spending many minutes on the phone with automated message trees until I finally called a "secret" number i found which reached an actual person ready to help with totally unrelated issues. This person however, was able to calm me down, talk me off the ledge and redirect my call to another person LOL! This person also put me on musical hold for quite a time, then redirected me ONE FINAL TIME... and with that last lovely lady, I was finally able to get it done. Sheesh!
Boy-oh-boys... all this transportation business these days is such a crazy, silly dance.
But, I hope to have the damn toggle plates in my hand tomorrow, and soon up on Reverb. I'm thinking MONDAY for sure!
This morning I completed the "La Tierra" Bandidos and they are now up on Reverb. Just such great earthy colours! These are among my comfiest straps, and go into the 60" and longer territory for all you shape-throwing maniacs
I also have some supa-hot new stickers coming... I've had decals now for almost every year I've been in operation... seems to be a "thing" in the music gear business... but I can tell you the ones on the way are surely my spiffiest yet!
Can't wait to show 'em off, and start dropping them into Well-Hung packages.
Happy Thursday!

Shields up! 
Flashy new chrome FX decals are IN THE HOUSE!
So stoked with these, I'm going to send a PAIR of these out with every W-H package 'til the end of the month. Get on 'er!
Also, I've been waiting a lonnnng for my ship to come in.... instead, only a bunch of chips arrived.
Message me here, (not on reverb) and I can shoot you a full set (ALL 10 double-sided chips) for $50 US - INCLUDES SHIPPING (by snail mail, not tracked)
UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVABLE, I know! Normally, these run about $10-12 a side before rather expensive shipping.
This offer limited to the first FIVE full sets requested by my TTR bros. MESSAGE ME HERE, not on Reverb.
Also, if anyone is a member of MyLesPaul, and has the gene to be total broski, if you could give these a mention?
Boy would I will be indebted to you! I'm a member, you can tag @TVvoodoo there, so I'll know.
they are all up on The Well-Hung Store, singles, sets of five, and the full set too, only a fair higher price because Reverb requires tracked $hipping.

Finished a custom Cowboy Prayer for Todd in Ontario... sad tale. Todd had collected maybe five or six of my pieces, but his home suffered a basement flood this spring. When the cleanup crew left, suspiciously, his strap collection was missing too. BOOOOOO! Now, he's out so much cash, he's got no dough left to even fight them in court. What a terrible situation.
Anyway, he decided his first one to start the rebuild of his stable should be his favorite, which was his Cowboy Prayer
Which will be on the way tomorrow.
New in the store is a set of "High Society" straps based on 2024 success, only a different colour leather this time.
They are silky/shiny with a great damask/almost alien embroidered pattern on them in great guitar colours.
Black, oxblood, dark burgundy red and old gold. very sharp! They sold off really fast last summer.
Go as long as 46"-60"
Last day for my double-dip decal deal; on flashy new sticker, and don't forget my fun new two-faced switch ring collection now in the store
Happy hump day!

TGP brother DG down Georgia way did himself proud this morning by pickin' "Whippin' Post" out of my back stock in the Reverb store.
Packed 'er up and it was on the way within a couple of hours. I included a XL W-H tee this time, because while I consider including with a double or triple strap purchase, this particular piece was the most pricey one in my inventory! This is due to that aged brass tone antenna ring, which are exceedingly hard to come by, getting harder by the year, and prices reflect that. The ring on this one is perfectly aged, and a bit smaller than the normal 6" one the true replicas come with, this one won't constantly bonk into your fretting arm like an "official" sized one tends to do.
I know this is sort of a "holy-grail" sort of strap with some guitarists, and I build it to not disappoint.
Other differences with the Well-Hung version? This one in black leather, gorgeous heavier stuff, and it's padded, lined and stitched too. This is not true of the replicas.
Also features a way, way, WAY improved Class-Act back buckle affair offering the user much more flexibility and practicality. Congrats DG. and thank you!
Have a great weekend my brothers!

Today new in the store is "The Undecided" my play on "The Unforgiven" LOL!
It's another fairly rare braided/woven strap... 17 or 18 strands, in black/mahogany and tan.
2-3/4" wide, it's also padded!
Super range of adjustment as it adjusts around 10 inches in the front, AND the back. so approx 42-62. Braided leather straps are strong, flexy and sexy! Class Act pass-thru on the back. Chonky 4" wide buckle up front. It's got big signature strap potential, and as a No Prisoners sling, this is the only one that will ever be made.
It's now up in the reverb store. Don't forget to message me about Pro-Pins or my latest new product, FlipSide Poker chips, perfect to dress out and personalize your pauls, SGs or whatevers!
Totally available in singles (each one is double sided), but the best way to save is to get them in sets... Creams, Blacks, or THE WORKS!

My problem is all my good guitars are already Well-Hung™, so when I see a new strap I like, I start thinking about buying a guitar to pair with the strap...
