FAQ

Do I need to do anything to take care of my Moody strap?

We are occasionally asked whether our Moody straps require special polish or treatment in order to maintain the high quality look and feel.  Unlike baseball gloves, shoes, jackets or other leather goods which are exposed to environmental elements, we do not anticipate that users of our straps will expose the fine Italian leather to harsh conditions.  Additionally, our straps are free of plastic or metal buckles and are intended to aid in the protection of your valuable instrument.  Under normal use, we do not expect that it will be necessary for you to add leather polish or other treatments to protect the quality of your strap.  Additionally, we advise against doing so in order to protect your guitar or bass from discoloration from chemicals associated with these treatment products.

Does Moody ship overnight?

Moodys straps are custom-made in America. Because of the high level of quality and the attention to detail that we put into each and every strap before it leaves our facilities, we’re unable to provide overnight shipping. It’s a matter of quality, pure and simple.

What makes Moody straps different than other leather guitar and bass straps?

We use the finest luxury leather imported from Italy. We carefully hand make everything in Carmel, California. Our CEO carefully chooses each layer that goes into the making of our products, no filler, no plastic, just pure soft supple leather. Having the three layers creates a strap that is soft, supple and plays hard too. Moody will last you a lifetime.

“Moody guitar straps are without a doubt the most comfortable, well made, and luxurious straps we’ve ever worn – and ever seen for that matter! Between our touring duties with Mandi Perkins and the live and studio work with our many other artists, we sometimes wear our guitars for 6-10 hours a day. Moody straps makes that possible and comfortable. Thanks Allison for a great and beautiful product.” – Andres James 

“Moody Leather bass straps are simply second to none and the absolute very best that money can buy. My conquest is over!” – Joe Jefferies

What is the difference between leather backing and the suede backing?

Our suede backed straps are thinner and provide sufficient grip to hold your guitar or bass perfectly in place. Our leather lined straps are made with Italian glove leather on the back, providing you with maximum shape to distribute the weight or your instrument over a greater portion of your shoulder, thereby allowing you to play stress-free and longer!
