Nirvana Collection: The Pat Smear Guitar Slinger Strap
Pat Smear is known to many fans as many different things. Some know him from the punk band the Germs or more notably, the Foo Fighters as a now permanent member. In the space between playing for the Germs and the Foos he was also a touring guitarist for Nirvana. His first ever gig with the prolific grunge band was their appearance on Saturday Night Live. He also went on to accompany them for their MTV Unplugged performance. Ironically when beginning his career as a musician, Smear often “borrowed” guitars, most notably the acoustic he played on the Unplugged stage belonged to that of Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic.
This strap is a floral tooled leather belt with scrap leather ends and brass hardware finishings. It measures approximately 56” making this a true hip length crossbody strap. It has been painted and sealed with Angelus products.
The Nirvana collection was created to be able to provide small donations to organizations I believe are doing good throughout the community. Inspired by the response to my Pirate Radio Crowns & Cards, i wanted to see if I could do more with my business. 20% of the purchase of this item will be donated to one of the following organizations: Planned Parenthood, The Minnesota Freedom Fund, The Trevor Project, The LGBTQ Coalition or EveryTown for gun safety.
Please note all items in the Lyric & Aster store are handmade. They are crafted of pre-loved, dead stock or salvage. Meaning they have lived a life before and may have small blemishes or scuffs, spots, mild unevenness rust or a touch of verdigris. These are not considered flaws due to a) the nature of each item and b) I myself am human, not a machine – all items are upcycled – punched, stitched, sewn by hand.
Please take time to view the photos posted for any and all items as they are a large part of the description. Should you have further inquiries, please do not hesitate to reach out.
