are you painting the lettering or freehand or do you have stamps that will work?
I think that if the customer is always right and you are supposed to give them what they want.
What would be funny is if someone really requested that, and that is what they wanted, and they sent you pics of their Spinal Tap diorama.
@ronnx have you ever seen Spinal Tap, the film?
Hey Peeps, it's been awhile.
Feeling Kind of Blue today, yesterday, probably tomorrow too. Took much of last week off to move our youngest son into residence at University to continue his Engineering program. His first year last year he worked from home remotely, due to Covid, which was pretty cool, saved us major costs, and he actually excelled, considering it's known as a tough program. The calculations sheets he showed us, man, like strange alien language LOL!
Anyway, he's the last of our brood to leave home and I swear, never thought I'd feel this... Empty Nest syndrome is so damn real. I found myself wandering 'round where the kids' rooms are, feeling melancholy... both my wife and seem sort of lost, purposeless? No real tears, as both our kids are fantastic, well-rounded, independent young adults. But we worried more for him than or older daughter.... a nervous young man, totally feeling like a fish out of water when we said goodbye. Turns out he's already found himself a chess group, been to a pub a couple of times, joined up with an indoor rock climbing club, hasn't even started his classes yet LOL!
Leading up to all this, actually thought we'd be celebrating the newfound "freedom." Instead I feel almost like I'm mourning a lost family pet, or something vaguely like that, but deeper still. Have to relearn how to cook portions, and take on all his chores LOL! Not much time here to wallow in self pity. Over the past week I've got some new custom orders on the books, a lot of work you will see here, tooling etc. So, at least I have some direction can focus the initiative required to take care of those jobs. I think I might attend a guitar show as a vendor, either Edmonton or Saskatoon in November, so that will give me something extra to build up towards.
Enough about me! It is nice to be back here in the shop, sorting things out, boxing up orders, all that. Well-Hungarian in Wicomico County, MD sent back a photo of his 2008 Gibson Custom Shop 335 wearing a "Carpetbagger"
What a gorgeous pull-together. Says Doug: "Absolutely beautiful strap, excellent quality." There's more to this story, but thank you Doug, and welcome to the clan!
Doug actually got his strap via Paul, whom I mixed orders up with. Paul in Oregon was supposed to get a Purple Paisley strap, got this one by mistake. It was Doug way over in Maryland who purchased sunflower and got paisley. Anyway, these two gentlemen were so fine to deal with... both promptly mailing each other the proper goods all across the USA, refusing compensation offered. Can't say enough about how kind and accommodating they both were. A common joke/mindset up here in Canada is to endure or avoid 'mericans. I absolutely refute that after over a dozen years meeting, conversing and doing business with hundreds and hundreds of y'alls.
Canada, USA, even abroad across both big ponds, seems indicative of the sort of customer generally I've served over the past decade. Just good people, respectful, honest, solid wingmen sort of dudes seem to populate the Well-Hung tribe, and I am so graced and pleased to be able to meet, know and serve you all.

Kooky tale on how by pure chance I managed to acquire more of this dark and scary skull-embossed vegtan leather... but the important thing is... I did!As ironical as it may sound... the Well-Hung Genocide series can now be resurrected! :-O Choose your own colour scheme, I'll make you a custom version which'll probably creep both you and your bandmates out!
This one, dyed black then rubbed lightly with silver paste wax, then clearcoated. Mounted to a 3" wide padded black leather base, goes nice and lonnnnnnnnnnnng for face meltin' comfort
Speaking of creepy... A new one on the bench nearly ready to shoot off... probably tomorrow... read 'em and weep, "Dead Man's Hand" again
This one, based on the legend of what Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he got himself shot mid-game right at the table. Well, perhaps end of game is more accurate. I figured the "All In" inscription helped put things in perspective... many more pics on facebook.
Also... Starry Night 2.0 is well along the way...

always much more near-daily StrapLab action on F-book, suggest you find/like/follow. Don't care much for faceborg but it's flexible and the audience is much more diverse. When stuff gets shared, it can kind of really take off and snowball a bit in interesting ways, which is cool. Reaching more people is what I need right now, but I won't forget my AGF roots.
Burstologist in the British Isles requests a strap to match this boring old plaintop.
A lovin' wife in Fort McMurray orders a strap for her hubby's birthday
Tried something, failed miserably, but it's still going to be for sale LOL!
I was trying to do butterscotch blonde, if you can believe it. Got bucked off bigtime, had to recover.

Another couple of pairs of old school leather straplocks going to california today, to meet guitars so fair
"Baron Von Farout of Trippyton," and "Lord Paisley of Grooveshire" are coming soon to Reverb, they are actually opposite sides of the same heavy, slightly metallic looking fabric
"Imperialist Scum" features beaded flags of nine different countries, and some of them I don't even know what they are
"Bravado" is coming soon to the store probably on the weekend
"Hammered" is a rare all-black Well-Hung creation
My first ever Left-handed guitar strap
and Ace of Spades #5 "Honey" has landed in Jolly old England
As always, lots more details, many more pics on f-book and reverb
Hope fall is treating you all well.

As a former advertising salesperson, TV airtime, Radio and Newspaper, I was quite saddened regarding the loss of our hero/role model.
