Gotta love Kenny! I do...thanks for the easy to "get" video...Like your voice...Thank you for the extra info and tips! Gotta go strap up my resonator!!
thanks. does the strap have anything that can interact with a guitar's finish? I think that is reason a lot of people like myself take the straps off before putting the guitar in the case. Also would having this on a guitar with a lower nut like in your video wear that part of the strap prematurely with string tunings? Do you guys sell extra of those "chicago screws" - sounds very Al Capone. Ha.
If you have to remove the strap when storing the instrument, there is something wrong with either the case or the strap. I've made a couple of straps for guitars and banjos myself, it's quite easy to make them so that no metal part will get into contact with the instrument. Lakota straps accomplish this with said ease; bison leather is strong but supple, the only metal parts are the Chicago screws, and they are there to make attaching the strap easier. It's not hard to make a 100% leather strap for anything with a tail pin, but the process of putting it on the instrument could get rather complicated with larger instruments. A banjo strap only needs one fastener, which can be covered and doesn't have to be metal. Even sliding buckles can be made so that nothing harder than leather or fabric will ever touch the instrument. Frankly, everyone in my neck of woods keeps the straps on their instruments; is removing the strap a U.S. thing?
