TVvoodoo's Straplab

Perhaps you crave the dark, imposing badassitude of black pyramid studs all over your strap, maybe also with plenty of black leather.

Are you perhaps evil, just depressed, or a little of both? The new Well-Hung "Back 'n Black" features a 2" wide strip of hundreds of glittery 3/8" 3D pyramids!

And get this! They're tough, super-shiny vinyl! No metal at all.

Won't ding precious, or deepen your depression! Now up on Reverb. 3" wide, rolled edges, nicely padded.
 
Got the custom off for Eddie G. of Eva Under Fire off this morning... I've seen in a couple of rock videos, they are super-physical band, so I did double stitch extra robust job for this fella's thunder-pumper for his upcoming summer tour. I'm told often my regular work is twice most others in strength. Real long, nice padding and my special heavy duty 3" wide custom sliding buckle hardware that's way stronger than any other I've seen. Black denim, heavy-duty faux vinyl, with a velvety underbelly.

Here's a story... last night I got a really nice note from a fella in San Fran. About a year ago he picked up a Velociraptor and a No Prisoners series strap.
Here's most of his message:
"...each is more beautiful, unique, more comfortable, and even more cool than my expectations (which were high). I actually play MORE guitar since then. My neck-shoulders-chronic-discomfort disappears, the straps feel so good it’s a treat to hang em on me period, and - unprecedented! My guitars look even better with these straps attached. The combos magnetically pull me over to grab it. Your note, the free, unexpected and excellent extras were icing on the cake. Wow, to buy something created by an actual human, an artisan, let alone who throws in some generosity and makes it personal … not common. So good-on-ya!" ~ Ken Z. California

That right there, frankly, is why I do this. To know my work, all my years I've put into product design, development and then the craft in putting these straps together actually helps real guitar people get extra enjoyment out of their instruments? Well, that just really puts extra spring in my step. I keep saying here my guitar straps are different. I show them, I show reviews, but really - I KNOW they are something very out of the ordinary. I guess a lot of folks here know too, and I am grateful for you fellas!

If you have not yet, they are just something you have to try to believe. OH, and after he sent that message, he ordered two more. YAY! Now on the way!

Anyway, enough chest-beating, How about another Friday Suno song? I wrote these lyrics, not genius, but clever enough. A bunch of robots made the music
Sorry about the harsh intro, sometimes that stuff happens, but I REALLY dig what came out after asking for an upbeat britpop flavour.
One of those metaphor songs... you'll figure it out pretty quick. Happy Friday my brothers!

 
Maybe the boringest-ever shot in the history of the straplab. This is good, thick 9 oz. leather cut, about to be moistureated for tooling
for one of our very own. I'm not real sure about this ornate buckle, I'll let the customer decide... easily changed out at this point.
A blank canvas!

Also undergoing some operation an embarrassingly puny 3 lb. pot roast, just popped into the oven.
I normally do 15 minutes on 450, get a bit of a crust on, turn it down to 300 for 20 minute per pound, but watch the
thermometer to hit 140-ish, then foil it for 15 minutes while I make the gravy. Wife's cookin' biscuits too!

Yes, it's all about the dead cow here in the TVvoodoo household today.

Oh, and theres that big competition on tonight too. The one the WHOLE WORLD is watching!
No, not the SportsBall one... Ratt VS Guns LOL! Kendrick Lamar? Is he one of Diddy's crew?
Honestly, wish would have saved my shower drain cleanout operation for half-time.

UPDATE: Yum!
