For this One of a Kind guitar strap, we started with blank belt leather which we treated with our top-secret softening system and painted black. We beveled the edges and dyed them gold, then were inspired by images from George Jones' White Lightning Nudie Suit.
We created a custom guitar strap for George Jones' 75th Birthday, which Jeri attended with Tanya Tucker at the Grand Ole Opry. Tanya presented George with the strap we created, which is now on display at the George Jones Museum in Nashville.
It's been almost 20 years now, but we still have some of the exact same Kidskin used on the "Possum" on George's custom guitar strap, so we used that leather to create the face, paws and tail on the Possum on this custom guitar strap.
This guitar strap is cut to 3.5 inches wide and backed with high quality black Suede. It has not been finished, so it can be cut to either our Standard (46-53 inches) or our Long (50-58 inches) lengths. Select Standard or Long from the drop down box.
If you would like a custom guitar strap similar to this created in a shorter length, just give Jeri a shout at jeri@jeridesigns.com.
