My straps make their Madison Square Garden debut, 12.14.11. Carl Broemel of My Morning Jacket with a tan custom floral on his Les Paul Gold Top. Some decent shots of the strap at just about the 3:30 mark.

Lee Ranaldo at Glasslands, Brooklyn, 12.16.11. The strap is a canvas handmade---and 'Genetic' might well be the greatest B-side there ever was.

I've posted about this strap before, but this is too good. R.Holmes floral strap @ 1st song.

Lee Ranaldo debuting his solo project at the Bell House, Brooklyn, 10.15.11. The strap is a Canvas Handmade. LR might be the only guy I've ever seen use the same strap across multiple guitar changes during a show.

The strap Jeff Tweedy is using on his Gibson J-200 in this photo is one of my custom carved florals. Probably couldn't have imagined that strap ending up on a cooler guitar.

Wilco, captured on Impossible Project Polaroid by NPR’s Becky Lettenberger as they performed at a Tiny Desk Concert. She got band members to sign the shot. NPR’s editing the video of their set this week and will get it up as soon as possible! —Sarah
