To me, substance is style. And I need mine straight up. I want to see and feel the proverbial natural wood grain, not have those precious imperfections buried under some glossy varnish or slick paint job. ... Style is what you can do with less anyway. Anyone can put on an Armani suit. But look at James Dean in jeans and a plain white t-shirt.
If you want to hear straight up style, well, no one with a top-of-the-line Strat and all the effects pedals in the world has yet to surpass what some of the original blues players could transmit through a busted, homemade, out-of-tune guitar. ... That’s why I close my eyes to the packaging, to all the gimmicks and hollow obsessions with appearances, and just tune into sublime unprocessed sounds ringing true. Straight up — no chaser.
Why Anthology Gear? The foundational principle of Anthology Gear is that a great guitar deserves a great guitar strap. Our attention to detail is uncompromising. Every cut, stitch and rivet is worked and reworked until it’s perfect. We fervently work with a drive to create something of lasting value. Beyond our legacy, we hope to create pieces that become a significant part of yours.
Our straps are hand-made with the highest quality full-grain leathers. Full-grain leather is the strongest, most durable and, best yet, helps distribute the weight of your guitar far better than any other type of leather.
High density premium padding between leather layers provides a more comfortable playing experience on those long gigs.
We use only the strongest industrial grade threads; the same threads used to make parachutes and airbags. That's strength you can trust.
Full-grain: The best leather money can buy. The closer we get to the surface of the hide, the more dense the fibers and grain. The further you get away from the surface the more likely the leather will weaken and pull apart. Full-grain leather is the strongest, most durable and, best yet, helps distribute the weight of your guitar far better than any other type of leather. Beyond the attributes of strength and durability, full-grain leather also retains the oils and preservatives, causing the leather to burnish and beautify with age. Over time, our leather will develop real, distinguishing character. We never spray paint our leather to look aged or give it personality. Fake distressing is like lip-syncing at a live performance. We don’t do fake. Sure, full-grain is much more expensive, but it’s well worth it. Now, if you’re curious, our list continues with the three other types of leather we don’t use:
Top-grain: Not as strong and durable as full-grain and doesn’t age as well. Top-grain has the very top of the hide shaved off to eliminate aesthetic imperfections. But see, at Anthology Gear, we like these imperfections; they add character to the leather. Top-grain is like digital, auto-tuned vocals. We’re about analog.
Genuine: Genuinely worse than top-grain. When I was younger, I always assumed genuine leather must be good. Hey, it’s “genuine”. Well, so is acne. Next!
Bonded: The hot dog of the leather world. In other words, leftover scraps are ground up and glued together kind of like particleboard. Now you know.
