Well-Hung "1969 Series, Sugar Sugar" 3" wide ULTRA-padded leather guitar strap

Another brand new update for my long-running "1969" series, a Well-Hung design style developed back in 2016. At the time I had two goals in mind:

1. Create a new guitar strap featuring the old school vibes of hippy-style hootenanny ribbon

2. Make it decadently COMFORTABLE, not a cheap, simple 2" wide shoulder-pounder ACE knockoff.

Various experiments eventually resulted in what's now become one of my more successful design "hits!" So, for each new different short run I build, I've been naming 'em after top 100 hits from '69. This one, for "Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies, written by Canuckian Andy Kim, the tippy-top-top song of that year.

This sweet ribbon is a total throwback psychedelic 60's sort of pattern, but kinda stripped down in only black/white... purchased it many months ago thinking I could dye it into some fun new colours, but before that, I decided to do a short run in black & white, just 'cause there's a lot of black and white themed instruments out there too. So, there'll likely be only FOUR of these, limited edition.

Main body of this strap is beautiful conditioned black garment leather. For nose and tail sections I opted for a much thicker croc-embossed thicker leather, with a bit of body/stiffness to it, nice soft shine. Few things more badass/cool than a little black croc leather onboard if you ask me. These are a bit longer than most straps I make, and I'm famous for long straps. "Sugar, Sugar" Adjusts 46"-62" which allows you about a whole foot more than your typical store-bought ladderback - Can't throw cool guitarman shapes with a shorty strap, no-how. Try it, you'll see! Non-slip lining in heavy grey upholstery material.

Starter pack strap dudes won't get it, but I personally believe a 2" wide skinny unpadded strap ain't deserving of my treasured Well-Hung customer tribe, a lot of whom tend to be working pros, and/or gear "seekers" demanding the best shadizzle available. If you happen to crave gear that's innovative, more useful, pro-tour ready, and a bit off-the-beaten path just pull the trigger. The sad posers who hover around your circle will feel compelled to ask you about it. Maybe you'll tell them, maybe you won't.

Typically I use a garment leather base, 3 luxurious inches wide on the shoulder, in ladder style for adjustment. Down the base center, I securely stitch this old-school ribbon - it always look superb against the leather, no matter what pattern. With the extra leather, totally amps up that historic vibe, even better than just ribbon alone, I think. The main body edges of my straps are rolled over then stitched, not just chopped-off, which cancels that annoying neck bite 'n scrape. Also, the Well-Hung brand is known for a decadently padded-out main body that'll make you go "Ahhh!!!" soon as you throw it on.

In fact, over the years I've been gradually slightly reducing the padding in my straps. But this one in particular is a time-travel trip to my 2019 days when I felt overpadded plushie straps were THE BOMB! And many love me for it! I'm not quite so sure now because it seems only about 25% of players enjoy the pillowy. Rest assured if that's what YOU seek, this one'll ride you like a Rolls Royce. Duck under and soak in the poofy love. That's why I am the Wizard of "AAAHHS!" Dozens and dozens of customers tell me Well-Hung straps have granted them extra years of gigging, and/or they can once again play treasured guitars they've been avoiding due to pain and suffering. Exactly why I started at this back in 2011.

The Well-Hung 1969 results in a premium design with high end looks, unbeatable comfort and trusty strength. Very different, real easy to get used to. Won't take twenty seconds under it to realize the extra value it will bring to your guitar life journey. New users often find their favourite instruments fighting over which gets to wear it, forcing them to buy another. Don't say I didn't warn you LOL!

I MAKE POSSIBLY THE WORLD'S MOST COMFORTABLE GUITAR STRAP. Bold claim I know. Those who are truly Well-Hung (most customers repeat), won't often disagree. It's mostly due to the my 3" wide footprint distributing weight, so it don't beat down hard on your pressure points. Then, the built-in approx. 20" of carefully carved and layered foam padding takes my straps into an other-worldy level of comfy. Just fantastic when bearing heavier guitars, lighter ones too. A big bonus is, my straps do NOT look all michelin-man poofy, orthopedic medical devicey, or a dumb wookie ammo belt harness get-up like other comfort straps seem to often resemble. And, no stanky finish-corroding neoprene-like substances either. In short, A Well-Hung Guitar Strap looks right, feels right, is right.

My straps are handmade by me, I am not a factory or a robot, I too am a guitar-playing brother, so I get it. It's a walmart pie v.s. grandma pie thing. Craft, love and quality ingredients are involved in the makings here, and I personally hand-build EVERY SINGLE ONE of them. This is a long-lasting strap you'll treasure. Long, strong, sexy, and different from any other strap you've worn. My customers tend to repeat. This has earned me over 1,275 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 5-star reviews ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ If you'd have told me that ten years ago? I'd have called you NUTS!

Please recon my feedback for my level of care /quality and how I treat my customers. They tell it better than I. Looking forward to you joining the Cult of the Well-Hung Guitar real soon. I'm also inclined to often put extra stuffs in my package, makes a lotta customers extra happy. Please Note if you wish to make me an offer, go right ahead... I may accept, but in that case.... NO SWAG FOR YOU!

Please, when you leave feedback for me, I'll take as many stars as you can give, but PLEASE SAY A FEW WORDS so others get an idea of the Well-Hung out-of-box experience. It's extremely important for my survival against yuge multinational conglomerates who'd likely would rub me out if they got the chance. If they did they couldn't *borrow* all the innovative ideas I come up with, so they keep me around. Also... right now... go find, like and follow and share Well-Hung on the facebook. Prollywanna to make sure you get the "Well-Hung Guitar Straps page, not that other one that sounds similar, (not that there's anything wrong with that). Once you follow, you'll may see the cool stuff I'm building in the StrapLab even before it hits the store!

Thanks for looking message me if you have any questions. Custom work is available time permitting.

My 'merican brothers, your shipping cost is now higher. I've struggled for months on how to re-open my store for your market. Only way is add the new US-imposed duty to your shipping, plus a small fee to facilitate my pre-payment of it via the Zonos app. Otherwise, I cannot ship. Here's how it works: I can't ship 'til all duties get pre-paid to your government. I've added the extra cost to USA shipping to cover your duty in advance. It’s the only way I can ship. Once I ship, Reverb pays me back. There's NO extra profit for me here, only a carefully-calculated expense (and quite a bit more back end work!). Your top dude chose tariffs & duty as a sort of import tax, so they’re on you. I've made NO price increases on my goods or shipping for any other market, so fair value remains. My sincere hope is no surprises. Zonos estimates duty costs, so there *may* be small discrepancies, but they assure shippers it’s rare. If your landed cost ends up over $10 US more than what you paid, and you paid FULL asking price (not an offer), please contact me with details and receipts. Please know this duty situation is as frustrating for me as it may be for you and I thank you for understanding. Above all, I just want to make sure your guitars are Well-Hung! Not here to quibble, prices for shipping + tariffs are rounded up or down to the nearest dollar. Questions regarding the new W-H store policy for USA shipping? Message me prior to purchase.
