Preserved in authentic New Old Stock (NOS), unused condition, this Vintage Unbranded Wide Glazed Leather Guitar Strap offers durable utilitarian craftsmanship and stage-ready style. Cut from a substantial cut of single-ply cowhide, this strap stands out with its smooth, high-gloss glazed dark brown finish paired with a natural roughout suede back for non-slip shoulder traction.
The wide cut distributes weight evenly across the shoulder to counter fatigue and eliminate neck-dive on heavier solid-body electric guitars, basses, and acoustic dreadnoughts. Built with a traditional woven feed-through ladder tail, the design is 100% metal-free, eliminating the risk of buckle rash, dings, or scratches to fine lacquer finishes. This strap also includes its original matching leather tie lace threaded at the top tab for easy attachment around an acoustic headstock. Having spent decades in inventory without ever being mounted to an instrument, the strap button keyholes are clean, tight, and virgin, with supple leather showing only gentle storage curl.
