The sad truth about your guitar strap...

In case it wasn't mentioned before, I'm a musician. I play guitar and I sing (just like every other asshole in Seattle, but maybe a little better than you're average Joe). I usually play acoustic guitar but that was mostly due to the fact that I moved around a lot and couldn't keep a band together. Now that I'm established in Seattle, I'm picking up my electric guitar again and starting to write the kind of music that I always wanted to write. It's really exciting because I never wanted to just be a singer-songwriter.

...I wanted to be a mother fucking powerhouse.

Anyway, today I picked up my guitar and realized that I needed a new strap. While I was wandering around the music store, it occurred to me that all the straps were either entirely made of leather or they were partially leather. BETCHA DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT, DID YA?!


Never fear, my friends! Vegan guitar straps do exist!!

While these companies are not entirely cruelty free, they do have vegan friendly options. Here's a few worth looking into:

Couch - Meh, there's a lot to chose from

Souldier - **This is my favorite. Custom design one for a pretty decent price, actually.

Splaff - Rubber Straps (If you're into that kind of thing...)

If none of those are fancy enough for you, get crazy and make your own with one of THESE THINGS!

Carry on...
