Dang!

That looks sweet man!

Is that also available in black and white?
Carlino Guitars
Black doesnt show up as well unless it s very finely grained leather like this tan one and doesnt burn in color, but it depends on the layering i guess, leather is usally dyed so, whatever is underneath the dye would show as the sub coloring.

Aah, okay

I just wanted to know that for when I'm buying a DBZ, I don't think that brown leather straps would suit black guitars much. Although, an acoustic DBZ... whistling.gif

I gotta have me one of those straps for my DBZ guitar! Black or not black, I want!! :D Imagine doing a gig with my DBZ guitar with a DBZ strap, wearing my DBZ shirt and DBZ necklace, epicccccccc :P

Im not saying it wont work, just not as apparent, like these....







and now it all depends on the strap though. the third pic is on a Moody Strap which are $150 PLUS each just for the strap, teh first and second are Jodi heads, not a** padded but smooth....

Yeah, that's something I had in mind.

How come the third one is so expensive? mellow.gif

Having such a DBZ-strap (any of the three pictures) would be simply amazing! Would you be able to create those? And at what price?
And could the ends of the strap be a bit more hardened? With plastic or something. 'Cause I've had this strap once, I was standing with it (acting all stupid), and jumped, and BAM, strap snapped...
But now I have a (more expensive) strap with hardened ends, and it feels much safer to play while standing wink.gif
Carlino Guitars
Hey
The third strap is a Moody strap
that's just what they are price wise
I have Franklin straps like the DBZ one I did for
$39 plus the laser fee of $30
and they are great straps
no hardening of the ends I don't make the straps
I just laser them
my solution... Schaller strap Loks
Demigod
Wow thats not a bad price considering its a custom strap, when I have some money I might just have to contact you for a custom lasered strap thumbsup.gif

dude only 30 lasering fee? totally grabbing one of these when i get the cash
Carlino Guitars
Yea thats it, most of the work is on the computer, making sure that everything is drawn correctly and lined up cause once its burned, it's burned, so it's better to measure 3 times, and check it and do a sample on craft wood, (basswood sheets) I use and then do it on the strap... just did a great fingeboard inlay too for a new model below...






so , measure alot before wasting material and then do a test burn on wood, then use the wood as the base template and Voila...custom inlays

Eddie
jobless guitarist
speaking of, how much is inlay work? thinking about getting something done for my bop could you work on those?
Carlino Guitars
only on new fingerboards brother.
What DBZ has is amazing, these are just ideas....
Renz
Awesome inlays!

About the Schaller strap Loks, I had strap locks, but it was the strap that broke, the strap lock just cut right through the strap (it was a comes-free-with-guitar strap, €5'ish, so that had to do with it as well I think)

Hey eddie, just sent you another email about an address change. I guess graphics are shipping finally :) Can you take some pics of my venom when it gets to you, maybe with that strap attached? I really like the look and would like to see how it looks on the guitar. Killer work man!

Totally cool man can you make one black with silver logo?
Carlino Guitars
can try man, adding silver leaf inlay to it or a silver paint, the laser only burns, no color...
