I've been a guitar player (for lack of a better word) since 1972. I played a six string from till 1986 when I switched to Bass and have been attempting not to suck too bad at it ever since. I guess my friends will let me know how thats going! So I guess it is natural for me to kinda specialize in making guitar straps. If your a player, then you know how hard it is to find a strap that feels good on your shoulder and takes the weight off those muscles on the side of your neck. If your NOT a player then you have at LEAST heard the bitching...... A Barrett Custom strap actually has the player in mind when they are designed and built. Unless your designs specify otherwise, my straps are wider than most (4") to allow the weight of your axe to be more evenly distributed across your shoulder. They are padded with 100% cotton to the desired depth for a soft and comfortable feel. And for your protection, all Barrett Customs are designed for use AND COME WITH a set of Schaller Strap locks to keep your baby safe. You know how after you have used a strap for a while, it FINALLY gets fitted to the curve of your body? Well, a Barrett Custom is designed to give you that fit in a NEW strap. It is cut with that slight curve that naturally develops over time to provide you with a form-fitting feel the first time you put it on your shoulder. With a Barrett Custom, quality is ALL that counts! I use only the highest quailty tooling leather for the primary and secondary strap. Linings are made using materials like soft, rich suede leather and shimmering silk. Snakeskins and exotic hardwoods can also be used for a uniquely beautiful detail......Whatever your designs call for...........It really is ALL ABOUT YOU!!!
