TVvoodoo's Straplab

And @GrooVey it sold already! WOW! Gone to North Carolina Didn't expect that. Sometimes I think things will sit in the store for months. ZOOM! it's gone. Then, I make somethin' I feel will get snapped up in mere hours. Nope. Still looking at it here two years later LOL!

We guitarists are a fickle bunch.

Newly listed just a few minutes ago... "Blues Royal" No lettuce and tomato or cheese on these, only a bold bright metallic gold leather lightnin' bolt. Skulls embossed into that bolt too. It's doesn't sit on a throne of lies, it's stitched upon a muted mule-blue garment leather base, 3" wide, padded. Lots more pics over on Reverb.

Again, last night I adjusted around 45 listings from the back of the store moving frontwards last night, repricing US shipping, and lowering prices on many of the stale stock items hoping to slim down inventory. If you want to look at it another way, it could also be taken as a welcome back for all y'alls Yankee Doodle Dandies. Will continue repricing shipping to include duty, opening more listings to the USA market this evening.
 
Over the years one of the more convincing ways I've found to attain vintage "cool" in a guitar strap is via braided, or woven leather. The term "vibe" is way-overused these days, (guilty as charged), but there's no question braided leather totally brings all kinds of that late 60's early 70's energy! @GrooVey knows!

"Mr Mojo Risin' " is fresh off the StrapLab bench ready to jump onstage to steer you towards that Lizard King mindset you've been seeking,
help you get away with practically anything!

A great example of my Well-Hung way of turning a quality belt into a guitar strap. I'm fully aware guitarists have been modding belts into guitar straps for decades, amateurs and pros alike. I may be the only one doing it at scale with my long-running W-H tribal favourite "No Prisoners" series. I'm likely nearing around two hundred of them by now, not all of them like this, in fact each becomes it's very own thing, which I think is extra fun for the owners.

I do make sure the leather is conditioned with good Fiebings conditioner, so while it won't appear brand new, it'll look like it's at least been taken care of, and have a handsome leather aroma too. This is by my count 17 strands... all told 2-7/8" wide. I was able to pad it on the inside, also. Goes approx 44" to 64" - if that ain't long enough for you, you should be playing basketball instead!

Anyway, Mr. Mojo Risin' is there in the store now, wide, comfy, cool While I didn't do any of the braiding, I'm still very proud to be able to offer up things that practically shout "handmade." And, it's a very practical guitar strap, all that braid makes it quite strong and flexible too.

The opening of Well-Hung Reverb store stock and re-pricing of items will continue tonight, dealz are there.
Sent off two this morning to Californy to returning US Warrior-veteran Nate.
 
Today I made something I've been cooking in my brain for some time, but finally got at it.

My long-runnning Devil's Leash series featuring the old-school Saugerties pattern ribbon on 3" wide leather base, got a fun addition! The first ever pair I've done with a nice cowhide suede for the main body section. The nose tail and ladder sections remain top grain cowhide with contrasting stitching.

Padded body, length of this pair maxes out at 57 and 55, as short as 40". Just always wanted to try this ribbon with a nice suede and they came out quite nice. Super soft. The lining is velvet that will also stop neck dive dead, like most of my straps. PLus the 20 inches or so of 1" thick proper density foam padding built-in along the main section.

NO stanky-wanky finish-eatin' vinyl, no sticky-dicky neoprene, weird alien "comfort nubbies," sketchy plastic buckles, scary metal loops, "old-man" harness support straps, questionable plastic locking gizmos... none of that.

Just a solid design with plenty of honest leather, tough fabric, strong thread and heavenly padding!

Now adding duty to USA shipping on all my Reverb listings nightly, about two dozen a night for the past few nights. This is gradually revealing all my store items for US browsers. Also, I am judiciously slashing prices on a good number of my older stock items moving as I work from the back of the store towards the newer stuff. I will NOT be discounting my newer stuff, but I won't be getting into that stock until likely Sunday.

I'll never make up ground lost over the last six months, but I'm still here and 100% ready to prove to my guitar brethren Well-Hung provides a guitar comfort experience you never thought possible!
