The Seventh String Guitar Strap
Comfort For You, Security For Your Instrument.
"I got the straps yesterday. They are lovely. They are innovative and they have
the kind of quality that one only gets from handmade items." -Alf, Norway
About
The Seventh String Guitar Strap began with a call to Master Leathersmith
Michael Keiley from his cousin, a superlative guitarist and veteran
performer who was seeking a strap to meet his threefold needs of comfort,
durability, and secure handling of his valuable guitar.
Keiley, whose most widely-recognized work is the iconic journal featured in
the motion picture epic Dances With Wolves, began fabricating prototypes
and sending them to his cousin for "torture testing and evaluation". The
quest for the finest available leather guitar strap was on, and the results are
offered on these pages.
From his studio in Atlanta, Georgia, Michael hand-cuts and assembles each
Seventh String Guitar Strap with uncompromising attention to finish and
detail. "I have learned a great deal about the passion guitarists feel, not just
for the wonderful music their guitars can produce, but for the instruments
themselves," he says. His commitment is to consistently produce a product
which enhances the connection between the player and the played.
