ABOUT
CHRISTINE REA lived in NW Montana for 14 years and has always enjoyed music and the Native American culture. She effectively combines these two interests in creating beautiful guitar straps. Christine designs and hand crafts custom-made, beaded guitar straps which are worn by friends and some of the well known stars, for over 30 years.
Timothy B. Schmit and Bernie Leadon of the Eagles, George Strait, David Welsh of The Fray and Kenny Loggins are some of the top entertainers who wear Christine's guitar straps to enhance their performance. You can see some of Timothy B. Schmit's guitar straps on the "Eagles Farewell 1" DVD and their new "How Long" video.
MISSION ONE: CREATE
Christine and Lindsay will work with you to create a strap that meets your needs: unique one off designs, current Stars, corporate and band logos, baby birthdays and more...
These custom-made guitar straps can be made with a wide variety of designs. Other items such as conchos can also be added.
Find out how a beautiful guitar strap can enhance your stage or home performance.
(Some designs may not be produced due to Copyrights or Trade Marks)
MISSION TWO: THE WORK
Each guitar strap, hand-beaded on a loom, contains as many as 24,000 or more colorful beads.
The strap itself is made of top quality cowhide.
The ends of the strap are machine sewn and the rest of the guitar strap is hand sewn.
Pictured belowis George Strait's "Steel Blue" strap.
(Disclosure: some beads are sensitive to ultraviolet light which can cause fading.)
MISSION THREE: LOOKIN' GOOD
Our goal is to enhance how you look on tour, stage or home performances. Timothy's strap below is "Blue Arrows."
