WTB Guild tooled leather strap

[BrianGuilder]

I am checking here to see if any members have one of the old tooled dark brown leather guitar straps with the pick pocket and Guild logo on it for sale? Please contact me if so. Looking for two if possible. Thanks

Not selling but I guess you are talking about this one from around 2010? It only came with some GSR models in the 2010/2011 timeframe, so not many around I guess. There was also a black version of it, even less around.

That’s the one. Sure hope I can find a couple.

I have the dark brown (not tooled) leather strap, with the stitched logo, 3" wide. Quite nice, but not what you're looking for. Never used as I never play standing up.

Pretty sure I won it at the Let's Meet Guild 1 auction (?).

Thank you anyway though.

"a couple", you are optimistic! I guess most GSR owners keep them as case candy, even if they don't use them. As far as I know they were not sold separately. However I have never seen the black one with any GSR model, maybe they were some kind of giveaway, not sure really. I mean you can search Google up and down and hardly find a picture of those straps there!

A few NH GSR examples:

Do you have any pictures? Or is it not for sale?

I know this question was for @wileypickett , just one more comment. Actually there were some for sale as a member here who owns a guitar store had bought the last 50 of them from Fender when the NH factory was closed in 2014. But they were all sold already, so he had no more, most of those 50 were sold to LTG members. So there should be some LTG members having them and maybe somebody wants to sell. So there is some hope for your search!

That’s encouraging…thank you!

Another picture to drool in the meantime, the 2010 GSR F-30 Rosewood:



Oh, and this is from the auction back in 2012 where one of our members auctioned it to benefit LTG. As you see they were extremely wide.






The 2012 released GSR models, as example the GSR D-40 Noir, came with this one as example which I found great, not as wide as the tooled one. But they were also not sold separately.



At NAMM 2013 Guild introduced a slightly different version which was for sale in shops. It had the same look as the 2012 one from the 2012 GSR models, but the inside padding was removed, so they feel even softer like true hand glove leather. That was also a really nice strap. They were USA made, not made in Canada. I actually bought one, the label showed "2.5" STRAP BRN BALL GLOVE LTHR", so they were 2.5" wide.



That 2013 version is still available today from Thomann:

Guild Guitar Strap 2,5" Brown

Guitar Strap Material: Leather, Length: adjustable from 105 to 150 cm, Colour: Brown

The only extra one I have right now goes with my gsr x500 which didn't come with one when I got it. I have to make a trip over to storage this week and I'll keep my eyes peeled. May have some over there.

 

[BrianGuilder]

Thx TXbumper57!

I've had one for about 15 years that's never been on a guitar or across my shoulder Brian. Holler at me.

I am definitely interested in purchasing if it’s available. Just send me a price and your preferred method of payment.
Thanks, Brian

My unicorn strap would be one of Doyle Dykes Guild straps introduced at NAMM 2014. There were supposed to be two styles.

From Doyle: "We also introduced two signature guitar straps for Guild which are very Nashville or shall I say… Texas as they were inspired by my boot making buddy C.L. Wallis from San Angelo."
