I recently purchased a Fender Custom Shop David Gilmour NOS Stratocaster, and apparently it was part of the initial first run of ~ 500 instruments. This first production run came with a bunch of extra case candy stuff; e.g. - historical Book on the Gilmour Black Guitar, CD - Live at Gdansk, Guitar Cord, and a Fantastic Leather Strap with Custom Shop Embossed Logo -

Best Strap That I Have Ever Owned - Who Makes These For Fender Custom Shop
I wrote to Fender Custom Shop Customer Service and they were unable to provide the information.

I would love to get a few more of these exact straps (do not care about the Fender Custom Shop Logo - No Offense), if not stupid expensive, accordingly, anyone happen to know who makes these leather straps for Fender Custom Shop?

The strap is approximately 2 1/2 wide and is several ply of premium finished Black Leather (not distressed or soft), adjustable in length with 8 loops, softer suede backing material, very nice and well crafted with deviating heavy duty decorative stitching - Probably 1/8 - 1/4" Thick and Very Stiff High Quality Leather

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated?

All the Best

You mentioned 'the first 500'. Sounds as though you are a second owner of a year of issue guitar [October 2008].. Try consumerrelations@fender.com. Best you could hope for is to learn if they are still supplying that strap when the guitar is ordered and who they subcontract out to for it. According to the website they are still supplying the book with the guitar. However, that would have to be the second edition which is a better affair content and structure wise than the first. I owned both. I purchased the second edition at a book store prior to my decision to order the guitar that year. I gave the recording and the book which came with the guitar to a friend in that I already owned both. It's a great instrument. Keep us posted on what your learn about sourcing the strap. If I'm correct the design of the strap is modeled after one DG received from Hendrix.

This isn't the one you're talking about but I've already bought two because I love the pliability of the leather...
