Summer is full of great festivals, folk fests, fringe fest, food fests etc... This week here in the StrapLab, under the omnipotent authority of me, it has been declared it Genocide Fest!
Now probably most Genocides aren't much to celebrate, but these ones definitely! This Well-Hung line features leather that has been embossed with a grisly, knarly tangle of skulls and bones, for a dark and moody effect. Keef knows. Skulls have that perennial cool effect, remind us all of our impending doom, but used this way, they are a less in-your-face, gotta look twice kind of cool.
New in the store tonight will be two freshies, "Toxic Shock" and "Ghostses"
"Toxic" is emerald green, with a dry brush of metallic gold, sittin' on 3" wide padded black leather. Adjusts between 46" to 60" which is about ten inches longer than most store-bought ladderbacks
"Ghostses" is a bluey silver, almost pelham bodybits, on a darker pelham... almost aqua background,
all sitting on a 3" wide padded black base. This one goes best between 42 - 58"
The pelham blues didn't come out in the pics too well but it's there- I adjusted this photo below with some "colour magic" to better represent what it looks like in real life
maybe a just tad more aqua, or surfy blue/green than shown.
Over the next few days watch for "Fever Dream" below, and a bunch more Genocide Series slings now in various stages of completion These are all hand-dyed and painted by me, my goal is to make each of them different, though some do end up being close to what I've done before. Have an idea for your special guitar? I may consider giving it a try!
All Genocides are long, strong with great leather ends, rolled edges along the sides, and my ultra padded main body for unrivaled guitarin' comfort.
-balls this thing is gorgeous, and well crafted. You can tell @TVvoodoo plays, also. He knows how to craft a great product that another player will enjoy. His straps aren't just straps, they are a piece of equipment."
