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.

Amazing strap

I had just purchased a Taylor GS Mini-e Koa Plus and was looking for a strap to go with it. I began searching and Anthology Gear page appeared in my Facebook feed. I fell in love with the Burnside strap right away. It is very unique amd goes with the style I was looking for. Top notch quality. It's even better than I expected. I will definitely buy from here again. My next strap is going to be the no quarter strap.

Over the top craftsmanship

Been eyeing these straps for well over a year but just kept passing on them because of the price tag. This Christmas I decided to get the shadowlands strap for my brother as a gift. When it arrived and yes I opened it. It was more than I expected. Absolute beautiful strap and the integrate stitching of each piece of leather was impeccable. so I purchased the burnside for myself. yes I did!!!!! Very impressed and the straps are well worth the price tag. The width of the straps are easy on the shoulder and help disperse the weight of the guitar more evenly which in turn makes playing for long periods a more pleasing experience. Plus it will
Last a life time. Bite the bullet and grab one, it want disappoint. Thank you Anthology Gear for making a great product!!!!!

Clear departure from average

I now own 5 Anthology straps. The quality and craftsmanship is superb, they're comfortable, and great looking. This one's perfect for my vintage burst Gibson Les Paul bass. A clear departure from the average. Thanks Anthology Gear!

Burnside Leather Strap

This is a must buy strap. Most comfortable strap I've ever owned and looks bad-a$$ on my Ibanez bass. Super high quality. Looking forward to purchasing my next strap from Anthology. Thank you for making such a high quality product!
