Custom Guitar Strap Recommendations

[TheMadGypsyBaron]

I'm continuing work on my Jeff Beck Yardbirds Esquire replica, and I want to get a strap for it.
What I would like is the one Jeff has in this picture as well as the the cover of Having A Rave Up:


Thing is, I have no leads on what that strap is, who it's made by, etc and searching isn't coming up with anything. So I'm thinking I'll have to get it through someone that can custom make it for me.
Who can you recommend for a project like this?
Thanks!

I don't know of anybody that can do this specifically. Hard for me to see the pic clearly. You might try Eyeland Straps.

Other than that, just find a leather smith in your area and have him do it custom. And bring a roll of cash, because I doubt it will be cheap.

I've seen those straps.

Something like this, though there might be some custom tooling on the ends that thread through the slots on JB's to keep the length, or it may be an embroidered logo.

I think that's the tele that Seymour Duncan bartered away from Jeff Beck, and Beck has regretted it ever since. I'd laugh like hell if Seymour ended up owning that red strap! :fingersx:

I'm sure El Dorado Straps can do you one with enough pics, it ain't gonna be cheap, but you probably won't find better.

Check out the bling on the Tele in my avatar, hand engraved metal parts and hand tooled guard.
