The Croc Artisan straps feature 2 layers of soft, yet durable leathers. The top leather is a premium cowhide leather with croc embossing - that actually feels like premium leather should feel. The bottom layer is a soft and comfortable leather that is buttery smooth to the touch. All the edges are rolled - so there are no raw edges on your shoulder or neckline. This provides a smooth and comfortable edge that feels great on your neck and shoulder for even the heaviest of guitars.
