Custom Guitar strap & Pick Guard

[Dreadhead]

Not very bushcrafty, but wanted to show this off nonetheless as it was a nice project to work on.

I was asked if I could make a custom guitar strap and pick guard for a fella who wanted them dedicated to his newborn daughter 'Greta Ophelia'.
As Ophelia is a type of rose, and his daughter is a Taurus, he wanted these incorporated. So we put some designs together and came up with this set to match his guitar. Complete with some pictures he sent me to show how they look together. This is why I do what I do

Absolutely brilliant. Would never have thought of a leather pickguard in a million years but it suits the guitar down to a t!
