Introducing a new camera strap to our lineup that uses the same leathers as our Blackjack guitar strap.  It has a pebble grain black cowhide inlay in a lighter tan cowhide leather that has a substantial and rich look.  It’s really no coincidence that it is named Blackjack as well.  Click on the picture to go to the Blackjack page.

The latest additions to our guitar strap line up are our BASICS straps which are constructed of the same leathers we use to make all of our straps - soft and supple top grain cowhide for the body and a tougher lightly corrected top grain cowhide for the back adjustment piece, front attachment piece and tail.  The body is a composite which is a first for us, but which allows us to keep the price low for a strap of this quality.  To see the BASICS straps available now, click on the pic! 

Once again, we owe a debt of gratitude to one of the artists that use ACTION Custom Straps, Michael Weber.  He took the time to make a video featuring our straps.  Have a look!

Two new Deer skin straps!  Deerskin is extremely soft with a feel all its own.  These two straps go well with many wood tone acoustic and electric guitars.

Action is now starting a new (but related) venture!  We are now making snakeskin bangle bracelets!  The website is http://www.actionoriginals.com  We are also on Facebook.

So, when you are ordering a strap for yourself, don’t forget something for your wife or girlfriend!  Or if you are ordering a strap as a present for that special guy, don’t forget a little something for yourself!  Our bangles are available on etsy.  Or if you see something on the website that you like, give us a call!

November 8, 2007 - Keith Urban performs at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.  Keith really interacts wtih the audience and puts on a great show.  Keith has Action Custom Straps on all of his guitars.  And for everyone who has not got to meet Keith, yes, he is as nice as he is talented.

Miranda9-14-07

One of our favorite artists was in town on September 14th.  Miranda Lambert always puts on a good show and we always enjoy the time we spend with her.  She and her family have always been a pleasure to work with.  Miranda is presently touring with Toby Keith.

July 2007 - Indianapolis - Jimmy Buffett comes to town.  Once again we had a great time at the “Bama Breeze” show.  Jimmy is a busy, busy guy but we got to talk with him briefly.  We spent more time with Dan Cook, Jimmy’s guitar tech, Mac McAnally, and Peter Mayer, and Doug Breidenbach, Mac and Peter’s guitar tech.  We’ve made some good friends over the years that we have been making custom guitar straps and we count these guys among the best.

Yep, we had a good time! 

April 2007 - Indianapolis - Van Zant and Lynyrd Skynyrd come to town.  We were able to spend some time with Donnie Van Zant before the show as well as Ricky Metlock.  Brian Evors, guitar tech, and all around nice guy, has helped us immeasurably over the years.

Nik&Donnie

A lot of the artists and celebs we have met over the years have been as nice as, well... Donnie Van Zant!

RickyNik&Ter

Ricky Metlock is a rock veteran and a long time member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.  He was gracious enough to spend some time with us before the show and we even chowed down with him.
