  Life burns. Everyone.
  
  First time, we all flinch. No matter how severe or slight, that introductory searing sets even the toughest back a ways. It’s the sort of wake-up call that makes most want to go right back to sleep. Many soldier on regardless, at least for some distance, but with each successive scalding, the herd gets thinned. After a few bad burns, more and more are those who never recover. They recoil, tucking themselves away in the safety of the grey, the camouflage of the crowd.
  
  And there, safely locked away, guarding the gates of their own prison, they wither — hollowed out by the forfeited loss of their only shot at connecting musically with something real and enduring.
  
  Few are those who understand deep in their core that there’s no illumination without fire. Determined either by force of will or blessing of character to follow our path, our way through the standard-issue darkness, we’re the players who, for better or worse, keep our roots planted no matter how high the flames or strong the winds whipping up wildfires around them.
  
  Yes, my failings and transgressions are legion, but going along to get along just ain’t one of them. Even my fiercest critics know I will never be swayed by the forces of the moment, never follow nor flee. I don’t do surrender. I don’t do scenes.
  
  And so you have Blackwood, blessed byproduct of the scorching, evidence that it really is better to burn out than to fade away. Blackwood, the defiant, smoldering fruit of the ashes, a beautifully charred crucible of creative combustion, exists to endure. A state of grit as much as grace, Blackwood is stubbornly impervious to calculation, unyielding to dishonest modification of any kind.
  
  There are countless varieties and every piece, by definition, is unique — radiating organic, weathered, carbon-based conviction, integrity, and experience. Singular like a deep scar, it won’t hold false surfaces or cover-ups. What you see — and hear— is only what has been burned there. Genuine. Meaningful. Resilient.
  
  Even when it’s a style you don’t particularly care for, there is always something compelling about an artist who represents that style with absolute, unwavering authenticity. The difference is undeniable.
  
  So brace for the inevitable trials by fire and, if you’re undeniable, like a phoenix from the ashes, you won’t be denied.
  
  Slash and burn as to the Blackwood born.

• We don’t talk about it nearly enough.

  Yet this sinister syndrome strikes every day, all around the world. For any player, it’s only a matter of time. For others, the condition is even chronic.

  Whether in the next five minutes, five hours, five days, or five months, at some point, you will find yourself needing to play guitar but suffering from PDS.

  Pick Disappearance Syndrome.

  Well, it’s time we finally took off the gloves and aggressively stamped out this terrible affliction. Here at Anthology, we’re throwing a wicked one-two-three punch via our bi-fold, slim bi-fold or compact wallet with pick holder. These powerful, proven*, stylish antidotes fit conveniently in any pocket to ensure that multiple guitar picks are rolling with you at all times.

  (*Side effects may include euphoria, relentless strumming, amplified confidence, extended jamming, excessive soloing, spontaneous gigging, creative stimulation, and sleep loss. If you find yourself playing guitar for longer than 24 consecutive hours, immediately contact your doctor. If you find yourself playing guitar for longer than 48 consecutive hours, immediately contact The Guinness Book of World Records.)

  Together, we can defeat PDS once and for all.

• The Reticent

  ret·i·cent
  adjective
  1. not revealing one's thoughts or feelings readily
  2. restrained in expression, presentation, or appearance

  Being a musician is about allowing ourselves to be vulnerable. Whether it’s putting ourselves out into the world via a recording or a live performance, it means putting ourselves out for everyone to hear, judge, and analyze. This can be a difficult thing for many of us to accomplish, but also can be intensely rewarding and liberating as one lets their creativity flow. The Reticent to me symbolizes the introverted, guarded, somewhat inhibited person I am that struggles with allowing myself to be vulnerable. However, when paired with the more gregarious guitar (and perhaps also with the always appreciated extroverted front man), I allow all those bottled up thoughts and feelings to flow freely. I don’t want a loud or obnoxious strap to tell my story. I want the thick, strong, durable comfort of an Anthology Gear full grain leather strap ... rugged, honest, beautifully imperfect. And I’ll tell my story through my music. Reticently.

• FEATURES OF THIS RUGGED LEATHER GUITAR STRAP:

• Size Chart:

  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.
