Good Things Come From Local Businesses
Here at Austin Guitars, we're big believers in supporting local businesses wherever we can.
We're a local, independent guitar shop ourselves, so we know how much it means when people choose to shop with you, recommend you or simply pop through the door for a chat.
That's one of the reasons we're so pleased to have Leathergraft Liverpool products here at Austin Guitars.
And let's be honest... their guitar straps look pretty good too.
A local strap for your favourite guitar
We love finding things for the shop that are a little bit different, and the Leathergraft straps definitely caught our eye.
They're made locally, they've got plenty of character and, most importantly, they're made with guitars in mind.
Whether you've got an acoustic you've had for years, a brand-new electric or that guitar you've been telling yourself you definitely don't need another strap for... there's a good chance you'll find one you like.
We've all been there.
Why stock local?
Being independent gives us the freedom to choose what we put in the shop.
We're not just interested in stocking the biggest brands. We want to find great products, meet good people and work with businesses that we genuinely enjoy working with.
That's what makes having local products in the shop so much fun.
We've got some brilliant guitar brands on our walls, but then you've got something like a Leathergraft strap made by a local business sitting alongside them.
And we love that.
It's nice knowing the people behind some of the things we sell. You can actually have a conversation about the product, where it came from and why we decided to stock it.
More than just a guitar shop
We might be here because of the guitars, but there's a lot more to being an independent music shop than that.
We're part of the local community, and we love seeing other local businesses doing their thing too.
If we can give another local business a bit of space on our shelves while bringing our customers something they might not have come across before, then why wouldn't we?
It's a win-win.
Come and have a look
So, next time you're in Austin Guitars, have a look at the Leathergraft Liverpool straps.
You might spot one that looks right at home with your guitar.
And if you don't need a strap?
No worries. Come and have a browse anyway. There's usually a guitar or two that needs a little attention... and we're always happy to have a chat.
That's what we're here for.
Good guitars, good gear, good people.
And whenever we can, we'll always be happy to support another local business along the way.
