GLV-30-PBL-NAT -These straps measure 2-1/2" wide and approximately 58" long. This strap is made of super-soft, pebble-textured, top-grain cow leather in traditional saddle tan. This strap is perfect for acoustic, electric, and lighter bass guitars as well as banjos and mandolins.
GLV-30-SM-NAT-These straps measure 2-1/2" wide and approximately 58" long. These are the more traditional style, stiffer leather that needs to be broken in (or simply apply a leather softener to speed up the process). This is a very smooth top-grain cow leather in saddle tan. This strap would be great for any acoustic, electric, or bass guitar and will last for decades.
GLV-25- These straps measure 3-1/2" wide and approximately 54" long. Choose from distressed brown (DBRN), black (SM=smooth), brown (SM), and white (SM). This top-quality strap is great for electric and bass guitars. It can be used for acoustic too, but typically these are used for heavier guitars. These are made with split-grain cow leather, with a smooth leather backing, and are heavily padded. The workmanship is excellent, making this a great choice for heavier guitars or if you like that padded feel.
If you are looking for the best, a strap that will last, well, almost forever, then opt for top-grain leather; it's the best leather available. Second pick is full-grain, third is split (suede), anything lower might be bonded leather, or pieces that are made to look like leather but are very low quality. We only use top-quality materials for our guitar straps!
No matter what leather goods you are shopping for, many buyers aren’t familiar with the terms “full grain” or “top grain,” and instead they look for the words “genuine leather," but the term genuine leather, it’s not actually a good sign of quality. Genuine leather has become a catch-all phrase for anything that is technically leather, and that means it can also be bonded! Bonded leather is simply a very thin, cheap, over-processed leather bonded to another fabric. You'll find a lot of real leather guitar straps, but they just don't hold up, so pass those by. If you’re looking for true leather quality, which offers longevity, you’ll want to look for full-grain, top-grain leather products, or even split-grain, which is a nice soft suede.
Full-grain leather is the highest quality grade of leather that money can buy. It comes from the top layer of the hide and includes all of the natural grain. It is more expensive and more difficult to work with. The quality is reflected in the cost to the consumer, but definitely worth it. Full-grain leather is incredibly strong and very durable because the natural grain contains the strongest fibers in the hide. It’s also extremely breathable, resulting in less moisture from prolonged contact.
Top grain leather is the second-highest grade of leather and has the outermost layer of hide removed. This difference makes the leather thinner and more workable but allows for a lower price point compared to full-grain leather. But don’t pass up top grain leather, it's still very durable, reliable, and will last a very long time. With top-grain leather, the natural grain from the top surface of the leather is sanded away, which removes imperfections and blemishes. After sanding away the natural grain, top-grain leather is imprinted with an imitation grain to give it a more uniform look, but the hide loses some of its strongest fibers as a result. However, if a uniform look is what you desire, then you’re in luck with top-grain leather. Some top-grain leather is left more natural. This natural surface of full-grain leather is incredibly unique due to its natural imperfections, marks, and even light brand markings left on the surface. Our distressed brown strap is a great example of this.
Split leather is found on the bottom part of the leather after the leather has been split, but don't be fooled, just because it's listed last, it's still real leather. Split leather is crafted from the fibrous part of the hide once the top-grain has been separated from the rawhide and is often referred to as suede due to its rougher, "fuzzy" texture. Split leather is the least expensive of the three, true cuts of leather, but it is still very durable if processed and used correctly. Split leather is best for smaller items such as work gloves, shoes, or, in this case, guitar straps.
