Get up a little closer, stopped to look... Turns out some mentally-challenged grouse had decided to commit birdicide, now laying there on the road bleeding and flapping around a little bit. Obviously a goner so I dispatched it, got an idea and threw it on my floormat to fetch it home. Grouse was still warm when I processed it, threw the guts off the back deck for them local cats that keep prowling my bird feeder. But you know I kept the good stuff. Actually, quite a lot of breast on these things, for how much there is to 'em overall.

My breasts may not look too impressive here, but this is quite a large frypan. Depending on the camera angle you can make smallish breasts look
quite a bit larger than they actually are. We see this on Instagram quite a lot. Needless to say my wife wasn't super-thrilled arriving home from work to my announcement of road-kill for supper... But dang it, dredged in milk and seasoned flour, then repeated... and crispy-fried with my signature veggiefied-rice on the side, even she agreed it ended up being a right tasty meal.
Ok, so now you know some of what fuels me and my creative energies, here's what went down in the StrapLab today. Know the old announcers' warm up? "Red Leather, Yellow Leather?" Years ago when I went to radio school, we learned that. Also "Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry" Got some of that yellow leather in the mail yesterday, just in time for todays job! This is for Busy Jimi's brother

Looking pretty fast, amiright? Laid out a couple of bright yella stripes on a 3.25" wide padded black leather base, and sewed em on.

Who's Busy Jimi, you might ask? Well his brother sent me this pic and asked me for a strap suggestion for a Christmas gift.

Had a crazy dream that night, ws kind of Crossroads-ey, meets Zoolander and this photo pretty much sums it up.

So I told the brother, "Pimp guitar NEEDS Pimp strap." Which he quickly agreed was both absolute truth and wisdom combined.
Apparently, Busy Jimi is a local bluesman of some repute... even if he did order himself that Sully custom, so...

Man that was a fun one! I kept saying Jungle Jimi in my head tho
Anyway, back to the yellow racing stripes... this is for Busy Jimi's brother, as he's greedily getting one for himself too.
Destination gat for this strap is this monsterously sweet axe, not Micheal Sweet tho, but that'd be pretty cool, amiright? LOL! Testify!
Check those crazy box inlays... I love the clear backplate too... done that on one of my guitars once, red springs too. Some might remember.

And not a couple hours later of padding, lining, stitching and hole punching... Voila! Meet "Sweet Racer!"

Gave it a test run. I'll be danged if it didn't speed up my sloppy shredpeggios by about 23%. That's the awesome power of a Well-Hung strap.
Been working pretty hard, lot of custom work. Post stuff near daily on Well-Hung F-book and elsewhere. It's harder to post these kinds of posts here, sort of difficult, so I don't too often. But if you're still reading this thread only, thank you but my apologies, you won't see all the fun. Maybe you don't want to LOL! Still time to get both your stocking AND your guitar Hung for Christmas, or your brother. Go check the Reverb store!
Hmmmm, finished up a tad early today. Wonder if I should go for a drive and see what's for dinner?
