Miquel Pardo, founder and artisan behind Pardo Guitar Straps

About Us: Pardo Guitar Straps

Meet the Maker

Welcome to Pardo Guitar Straps! My name is Miquel, and I’m the founder and artisan behind this brand. Based in Rubí, a town in the Barcelona province, Pardo Guitar Straps is the result of my passion for guitars, craftsmanship and creating something genuinely distinctive for musicians.

Ever since I was a child, guitars, amplifiers and music gear have been much more than hobbies—they’ve been a lifelong passion. I’ve spent countless hours playing guitar, experimenting with gear and learning what musicians value in the equipment they use.

My journey into making guitar straps began as a personal project. I wanted to create straps that reflected my love for the design language of the 1960s and 1970s. What began at the workbench gradually became Pardo Guitar Straps.

Handcrafted Guitar Straps Made for Musicians

What We Do

At Pardo Guitar Straps, we create high-quality handcrafted guitar straps for guitarists, bassists and musicians who are looking for something beyond standard mass-produced accessories.

Our goal is to combine artistry, comfort and durability while preserving the character of woven textiles and the unmistakable aesthetic of classic guitar culture.

  • Artisan Craftsmanship

    Each strap is handmade with care and attention to detail. Traditional tools and hands-on techniques are used throughout the process, creating straps designed to look distinctive while remaining strong and reliable.

  • Distinctive Aesthetic

    Our designs are influenced by the bold woven patterns, geometric motifs, floral textiles and psychedelic visual language of the 1960s and 1970s.

  • High-Quality Materials

    We work with woven fabrics, genuine leather ends, durable backing materials and robust metal hardware to create straps suitable for regular playing and long-term use.

  • Comfort and Functionality

    Adjustable metal buckles make length adjustment easy, while different backing materials allow musicians to choose the feel that best suits their playing style.

  • Customizable Options

    Leather end colours, hardware finishes, backing materials and selected personalized details allow each musician to make the strap more personal.

  • Made to Be Yours

    A guitar strap is more than a functional accessory. The combination of craftsmanship, materials, design and personal choices makes each Pardo strap a piece created to become part of your instrument and your own musical story.

Make It Your Own

Music and Community

A Passion for Music and the People Who Play It

Pardo Guitar Straps is more than a business—it is a way to share my love for guitars, music and craftsmanship with musicians around the world.

The straps are a reflection of my own journey as a guitarist and artisan, but they become part of someone else’s story once they leave the workshop.

Through the website and blog, I hope to share stories, useful information, new ideas and details about the creative process behind the straps.

Our Community

Every Guitar Has a Story

One of the greatest rewards of making handmade guitar straps is discovering the instruments they eventually accompany.

Some guitars have travelled the world. Others have spent years filling a living room with music. Some have been passed down through generations, while others are only beginning their journey.

Each one has its own story.

Inside the Workshop

Tools, Machines and Hands-On Craftsmanship

Behind every finished strap is a workshop filled with tools, machines and processes that have been refined through years of making, testing and improving.

For me, these machines are not simply equipment. They are part of the daily process of turning woven textiles, leather and hardware into a finished guitar strap.

  • machine for sew thick leather for guitar straps
  • old tool for cut strips of leather
  • Sewing achine in workshop for make guitar straps from Pardo.
