Bobkat's super cool guitar straps

At the AZ Gretsch round-up that Syncho and the Lug Nut gang hosts, I was lucky enough to win the guitar strap that Bobkat had been generous enough to donate to the give aways. It was immediately obvious that this is a high quality product - thick leather, elegant tooling and solid hardware.

I got home, put it on my Annie, and a very happy match was made - it almost seems that Bob had the Annie burst in mind when he dyed the leather.

Well, the strap is so cool that I had to put in an order for one for my main stage Mosrite. This would be a simple black strap with a shoulder pad. It came in the mail today, sporting a super cool buckle no less!

So, I have nothing but positive to say about Bobkat's guitar straps. Of course, he's a friend so I wouldn't consider my opinion unbiased, but I *highly* recommend his work.

OK! Enough of the talking - let's see pictures!

First, the Annie sporting the Roundup strap hanging out with a friendly Vox, followed by the Mosrite lounging with the custom black strap.

Nice work . . . I'd like to have one of the black ones with the buckle myself

+++++1 on Bob's straps. You can see the first one he made for me in my Knotty Pine Thread, and I will soon be posting pics of the latest one he made for me, along with the guitar it was born to be with!

Would you be interested in doing a 'custom' camera strap?
I have a couple of ideas I would like done-
Thanks

The color match to the 'burst is uncanny. Nice straps.
