Preserved in pristine New Old Stock (NOS), unused vintage condition, this authentic Vintage 1960s Bobby Lee Skinny Leather Guitar Strap is a quintessential piece of golden-era American music gear. Featuring a crisp "MADE IN USA" heat deboss on the suede underside, this strap represents the exact factory-spec case candy shipped alongside legendary 1960s guitars from Gibson, Fender, Martin, Guild, and Gretsch.
Constructed from heavy-duty 5/8" black bridle leather with a raw natural tan suede backing, it features a nickel-plated wire tongue buckle and Bobby Lee's contoured sliding shoulder pad. The pad is accented with white perimeter stitching and lined with plush off-white fleece to cushion the shoulder and prevent slippage. Because it was never mounted to an instrument, the leather remains supple and free of dry cracking, the fleece is spotless, and the button keyholes remain tight, virgin, and completely un-stretched.
