An authentic piece of mid-century guitar history, this Vintage 1950s / 1960s Skinny Leather Guitar Strap captures the definitive look of the rock 'n' roll and rockabilly golden era. Frequently supplied as dealer case candy or aftermarket equipment for Gretsch hollowbodies (such as the 6120, Country Gentleman, and Tennessean), Gibson archtops, and early British Invasion imports, this strap delivers genuine mid-century styling.
Crafted from supple top-grain black bridle leather with a raw natural tan underside, the strap features a skinny 5/8" belt profile, a classic nickel wire-frame adjustment buckle, and an auxiliary riveted D-ring tab often utilized for acoustic headstock lacing or quick-release anchoring. The wide, contoured sliding shoulder pad is backed with soft off-white fleece to cushion instrument weight during long sets. An essential find for collectors seeking period-correct case accessories to complete a vintage 1950s or 1960s guitar outfit.
