How Long Are Your Guitar Straps? Everything you need to know about strap length.

Thursday, February 21st, 2013

We sometimes get messages wondering if our straps are long enough for some 6’7″ guy, or short enough for some 5’7″ guy (like us). The answer is: YES!
Couch straps adjust about 6 inches longer than the average strap, which is 67″ fully extended from keyhole to keyhole. With the strap in its middle adjustment
it’s about 50″, and 40″ at its smallest.
Because we are the factory, we can happily custom shorten any strap to your exact specs before OR after you purchase it for freeee, and will even return ship it to you in the US for free (6″ shorter is a common request). That said, we highly suggest taking 2 minutes to watch this video and getting a strap first, because it’s most likely gonna work great as is!

Lastly, if you want a strap for your child 4 years and up no problem! Just order any strap and have it custom shortened by us for free by putting a request in the “Comments” section of your order. Usually about 12″ shortened works great for kids, and it will still adjust longer as they continue to grow and rock harder like Metal Gods from the not-too-distant-future.

Couch In The Blogs + Patchwork Craft Spring Craft Fairs Coming Up

Tuesday, March 20th, 2012

The indie craft revolution is, in our humble opinion, a major element in solving the economic woes of the today’s western world. The indie craft revolution gives a chance for the buyer of a product to have a direct connection with the person who designed and made the product. Thus the buyer gets the love and attention and demand for quality that can only be given when the designer is making something in smaller batches at “home”. On the other side, the designer doesn’t have to share the money from each sale with some corporate board, management layers, and faraway nameless factories in that old product design model that required things be made so cheaply in the first place. Seriously, people are quitting jobs all over the place to sell their hand made wares in craft fairs, and on sites like etsy. This is so cool and we at Couch are proud to be on the forefront of this movement.

Patchwork Craft Fairs

Also leading the way is Southern California designer Random Nicole who helps to create The Patchwork Craft Fairs and even is starting to lead Indie Busimess and DIY symposiums like the upcoming Craftification in Venture. Nicole had a quick interview with us her blog earlier this year.
Now that it’s Spring we’ll be kicking it outdoors to celebrate soon enough at The Patchwork Craft Fairs coming up here soon in the Los Angeles area. Move on up!
