Our Story
Moody was founded in the year 2000 and musicians from all over quickly fell in love with the straps. When you put one on your instrument, you will feel the difference in comfort.
"Moody Straps have the right temper — they distribute the weight of the instrument making it feel weightless."(Guitar Player Magazine).
Quality leather molds microscopically over time, conforming to your shoulder. If the guitar hangs consistently, your fretting hand relaxes. If the strap is unstable, you compensate with your left thumb. That compensation shows up in tone, technique and stamina. Moody is specifically designed to resolve these issues while looking great at the same time!
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to provide musicians with the highest quality guitar straps that offer both performance and elegance. We’re committed to supporting artists by delivering products that enhance their connection with their instrument and audience.
Our Craftsmanship
What separates a truly great strap from a decent one?
- The hide quality (grain structure, tanning method, density). We use Italian top grain leather.
- The construction (layering, stitching, edge finishing).
- The width-to-weight ratio for heavier guitars.
- And the subtle friction coefficient — enough grip to stabilize, not so much that it locks your shirt in place.
