Historic Makeovers & Blue Bell Straps: The Perfect Collaboration
We’re thrilled to announce a special collaboration between Historic Makeovers and Blue Bell Guitar Straps! Together, we’ve created 30 exclusive, one-of-a-kind custom leather straps, each proudly featuring our Historic Makeovers logo. Handcrafted and hand-tooled in Spain, these straps are made from premium Spanish cowhide leather and come in vintage-inspired finishes of Black, Dark Brown, and Mid Brown.
The Legacy Behind Blue Bell Straps
Blue Bell Straps, renowned for creating premium leather guitar straps for iconic musicians like Richard Fortus, Joe Perry, Joey Landreth, and many more, was founded by master leather craftsman Pepe Guerrero. Inspired by the steam locomotives of the late 1930s—these engines not only carried cargo, but also the dreams and melodies of musicians traveling the country, spreading their music across distant stages. Pepe named his company after one particular locomotive, named Blue Bell, a symbol of the nomadic spirit of these artists, a spirit that lives on in every leather strap crafted by Blue Bell.
Crafted with the Guitarist in Mind
What makes this collaboration special is the level of detail. These straps aren’t just designed to look great—they’re made to feel great too. Inside the strap, you'll find padding technology used by NASA. This ensures an even distribution of the guitar's weight, creating a padded design that maximizes comfort. They’re designed to make sure your guitar feels as light as possible, no matter how long the gig lasts.
A Nod to Historic Craftsmanship
This collaboration is a blend of two worlds: Historic Makeovers’ expertise in vintage guitar restoration and Blue Bell’s mastery of custom leatherwork. It’s not just a strap—it’s a piece of history. Historic Makeovers is known for restoring iconic guitars, reviving their legacy while making them ready for today’s musician. The same philosophy is at the heart of these straps: respect for the past while creating something that lasts for future generations.
Truly Limited: A Collector’s Dream
This collaboration is truly limited—only 30 of these straps are available. Each one is crafted with care, ensuring that you’ll own something exceptional. It’s a chance to get a hand made piece that merges high-end design with rock ‘n’ roll history.
If you’re looking for more than just a leather strap—if you want something that honors the history of these two companies, the Blue Bell x Historic Makeovers Limited Edition Strap is for you. Don’t miss out on this exclusive collaboration—get yours while you can and let your guitar shine.
