No Quarter
None asked for, none expected, and none given — neither to myself nor anyone else.
Compromise may be unavoidable in life, but if you don’t dodge it at all costs in your music, enjoy the slippery slope to sucktown. Even if you find “suckcess” there, will the money paper over the shame of knowing you’re just another party clown for kids? I don’t think so, no matter how many clueless bedwetters you cram into a stadium or into your oh-so-“edgy” Kmart clothing line.
To me, it’s total commitment or stay home. How do I know when I’m warmed up? When the bloody calluses on my fingertips split open. I just seal 'em back up and keep on playing. (Hey, there’s a reason they call it Crazy Glue, not Well-Adjusted Glue. Trick-of-the-trade tip for you, compliments of the chef.)
Uncompromising is just the ante. I don’t care if you play the triangle in a basement bingo parlor. If you’re not standing up to push the limits, sit down. Forgo the struggle and you loose the soul, the blues. You loose Billie Holiday’s voice, Hendrix’s swirling feedback landscapes, Stevie Ray Vaughn’s eardrum-inverting bends. Hey, dedicated suffering comes with the gig. So while you might think my urge to stuff Justin Bieber in a rusty steamer trunk and kick it down the Grand Canyon is cruel, I’m just hoping to help the kid's music a bit, if possible. He seems like a nice girl.
Me, I’m a natural born attack dog. Tone. Style. Every element of a player’s sonic fingerprint stems from their attack, and on the fretboard I become an aggravated swarm of angel dust-addled Maori warriors wielding broken baseball bats. Unrelenting. Unforgiving. My sound leaves a mark. Every time.
And leaving a mark is really the only distinguishing characteristic human beings possess, yet 99.98% never even try. People are born creative and then those instincts are schooled right out of them. They climb into the mold and let everything unique be sliced away. They conform. Well, the operative syllable there is con. I say don’t fall for it. Fight.
No struggle, no sustain. And whatever gets thrown at me for turning my back on the soul-embalming, inspiration-crippling black hole of the rat race I just absorb and spit back at the bastards with my playing.
No compromises. No quarter.

FEATURES OF THIS LEATHER CUFF WITH METAL RING
Aged steel leather and antique nickel hardware
Size:
• Our cuffs are available in two sizes, small/medium and large/x-large
• Small/Medium cuff (for wrists up to 7 1/4") can be adjusted to 6" or 7 1/4"
• Large/X-Large cuff (for wrists over 7 3/4") can be adjusted to 8" or 9 1/4"
• Cuff width: 2 3/8"All Anthology leather cuffs are hand-made with the highest quality full-grain leather on the top and a softer pigskin on the underside.
Our leather cuff bracelets come with a set of "snap caps" so if you wear the cuff at its longer length, you snap the caps on the snap studs not being used for a more "finished" look. If you wear the cuff at its shorter length, then pop the snap caps off.
We use only the strongest industrial grade threads, the same threads used to make parachutes and airbags. That's strength you can trust.
And, our leather burnishes and beautifies with use. All of our leather cuffs have their natural marks, scrapes and scars, which means they have loads of raw, rugged personality.

When I was 17-years-old I started building a Harley Shovelhead chopper from the ground up: a hand built frame, 15-inch over girder front end, 21-inch front wheel, custom seat, wiring, variegated gold leaf scroll paint job with painstaking pin striping and custom leather Pony Express saddle bags that I designed, cut, stained and stitched ... the works. As radical as the bike looked, I was trying to avoid the outlaw biker image so I made a conscious decision not to wear black clothing or a chain wallet. The first lesson I learned only took several weeks when all my jeans and t-shirts were showing all sorts of crusty road grime and oil stains. I immediately went to all black clothing. Even to this day my closet holds a nearly all black wardrobe. But I was a slow learner on lesson two: I nearly lost my generic tri-fold wallet riding on the freeway not once, not twice but three times. There is no logical explanation how what little of it managed to stay inside my back pocket. I realized gravity would ultimately prevail. Lesson learned. All in. That same 70’s black biker bi-fold chain wallet is still in my back pocket 50 years later.
Ever wonder how the chain wallet came about? Imagine yourself blasting down the 105 on your custom American V-Twin late one night twisting that throttle for everything it’s got. The roar of the pipes is music to your ears as you head to the Valley for a late night meal. You are in the wind and all is right in the world ... until after placing an order for three legit carne asada tacos at your favorite food truck you realize your wallet is MIA. It has somehow crept out of your back pocket many mile markers ago. The chain wallet that so many bikers have rocked since the 50’s is actually more of a practicality than a fashion statement. It helps you to keep what is yours ... yours. Same for Truckers. Ditto for OG’s. Also the Punk scene. Definitely Grunge. And let’s not forget Rap and Hip-Hoppers. We might as well throw in a few select celebrities to boot while we’re at it. Like the hook in a song, a chain wallet sticks with you along with its contents ... your presidential flashcards, driver’s license, debit card and that worn torn photo of your dog. Once you try a chain wallet you’re hooked. And Anthology sets the hook deep with the optional but ever so cool custom chain and Japanese influenced hook. Don’t be that guy at the taco truck. Rock that chain. Outlaws or in-laws, everyone deserves a place in this Chain Gang.

El Camino
The Way It Is.
There’s a thread you follow. It goes among things that change. But it doesn’t change. People wonder about what you are pursuing. You have to explain about the thread. But it is hard for others to see. While you hold it you can’t get lost. Tragedies happen; people get hurt or die; and you suffer and get old. Nothing you do can stop time’s unfolding. You don’t ever let go of the thread.
- William StaffordWhen we purchased Anthology Gear in December of 2017, we were definitely changing course from the path we had been on for quite some time. But, as we hold on tight to this thread and head in this new direction, nothing has felt more right. El Camino pays tribute to the path we are destined to follow in life.

What's the Right Guitar Strap Length?
If you’re buying as a gift and don’t have access to measure the current strap, or you just can’t wait until you get home to take the measurement, there are several factors to consider:
The main functional issue with respect to buying a guitar strap online is getting the length right. Our straps are measured from attachment hole to hole. The best way to determine your ideal length, or that of the musician you’re buying for, is to measure the previous strap. If you don’t have a strap to reference for whatever reason, we’ve assembled some general guidelines for length (supplemented with this friendly disclaimer: if you find our standard strap is too short, you can always add a jumbo tongue).
Elements to consider:
1. Player height and weight:
• In general, players who are 6’ and under, and average weight, should be fine with a standard length strap.
• Players over 6’, or with more weight, could use a jumbo tongue.2. Electric or acoustic:
• Because acoustic guitar bodies are deeper, guitar players 5’10” and over will likely prefer a strap with the jumbo tongue.3. Placement of attachment pegs:
• The strap attachment peg on the guitar can be in a couple of places. On some guitars the peg is at the top of the bout; on others, it’s placed where the guitar neck meets the body of the guitar. In the case of the latter, a few more inches will be needed, and a jumbo tongue might be the way to go.4. How low or high the player holds their guitar:
• If the player is a rocker, with their guitar a bit below the waist, a jumbo tongue might be the way to go.
• If the player holds the guitar from the waist up, our standard length strap should do the trick.
Burnside - Leather Guitar Strap

LEATHER GUITAR STRAP WITH RIVETS AND ROPE

Burnside
Led Zeppelin’s heavy-footed take on James Brown, “The Crunge”, clearly wasn’t recorded in Portland. Not only would Plant have easily found “that confounded bridge”, one preening backbend too far over his bellbottoms and he’d have tumbled off any number of them, straight into the Willamette River.
Bridge City, baby.
Speaking more to Jimmy Page’s stretched-low guitar strap swagger, we bring you Burnside, our tribute to those weathered hunks of rusting metal straddling the town’s central tributary like a hasty burst of staples punched in by some gigantic colossus the likes of which Plant rhapsodized about in his weirder, J.R.R. Tolkien-esque lyrics.
Bridges, after all, are indispensable and transporting — in music as well as daily life. As a practical matter, every guitar strap is a bridge connecting player and instrument, with load-bearing capacities that similarly depend upon the quality of construction, materials, and design. And if you don’t think a guitar strap affects tone, perhaps you haven’t played a third encore after nearly as many hours wielding a 50’s Les Paul. Not that it actually matters how, where, what, or why you play. Every shared bridge still serves singular journeys.
And, of course, music itself is the ultimate bridge. Between people. Between cultures. Between generations and eras. Between the heart and the feet. Between ourselves and our emotions. Between our imagination and our potential. Between one inspired artist and millions of listeners across countless places and moments in time.
Structurally speaking, the bridge, or middle eight, is nearly always the most transcendent part of a good song — emotionally lifting us up before dropping us back down on the other side; escaping the chorus-verse field of gravity to grab us by the collar and say, Look around. Take in the view.
Be here now.
Whether stairways to heaven or highways to hell, the guitar is our most reliable bridge there and back. And Burnside salutes players traversing those passages propelled by their sweat, soul, and fingers.

Sakura
In floral language, Sakura, the national flower of Japan, means “accomplishment” and “beauty of heart”.
Some time in the heat of the summer of '19, we played hooky from our normal day-to-day work tasks and ventured to the other side of the river on a little treasure hunt in search of some special textiles. We rummaged through a countless number of rolls, piles and bolts of fabric and set aside those that called out to us. Some whispered, some shouted. We are excited to introduce our limited collection of textile and leather guitar straps.
