Letter of the Month (thanks, Christian)

Dear El Dorado Guitar Accessories,

It’s not often that I receive something from mail order and feel compelled to write a

note to the manufacturer, but in this case I am justified. I ordered a “vintage” style

replacement amp handle for my 1962 Fender Reverb Unit. When I bought the tank

years ago it had a vinyl handle on it that felt like a complete imposter every time I had

to pick it up.  But it wasn’t easy finding a suitable handle. Fender uses a flat leather handle

on their reissues that is a dead giveaway.  Other companies offer ‘raised-center’ handles that

look like they’re made out of cardboard. Your handle is the most perfect replacement handle

I could possibly imagine.  I honestly didn’t think people still made such quality items for sale

to the public at a modest price.  It even smells right. I am sure that with some honest wear,

it will look completely at home on my 50 year old Reverb tank.

Thank you very much for your replacement amp handle. I’m sure when I’m in the market for a

guitar strap I will know where to look.

Yours Truly,

Christian Clarke

Pompano Beach, FL

Some of our customer comments...

I received my strap and I can't tell you how happy I am with my purchase! I've been playing guitar for 35 years and I've never been a fraction of this excited over "just a strap". As soon as I have a few spare bucks you can be sure I'll be ordering one for my acoustic guitar.Thanks to everyone n your company.

"I received the El Dorado strap this morning. THANK YOU so much! It's the best looking strap I've ever seen, & it looks great with my '59 Tele. The sheepskin padding is so comfortable on my shoulder. My old strap felt like a piece of twine in comparison. I like the solid feel of the leather, & the ultra-sturdy design, but it has a light feel, that isn't heavy or obtrusive. I'm sure I will enjoy the El Dorado strap for the rest of my life! Feel free to share my endorsement. I think your product is wonderful! Thanks again."

My strap came in today. I remember thinking "these are kind of expensive" when I placed my order. Now that I have the strap, I can clearly see why - it just exudes quality and craftsmanship. Thank you for a GREAT product! My 6120 will be happy for years to come.....

I just received my 2nd El Dorado strap (the first was a black original, and this one a tan original) and I am still totally blown away by the quality, and how comfortable they are. Thanks so much

"I just received your vintage "plain" guitar strap as a gift and I just wanted to let you know that it is perfect, the best leather strap I have ever seen and it is incredibly comfortable. I looks awesome on my Martin 000"

M.E, Arnold, MD

"The two straps arrived last week. As usual, or, as I have come to expect, the quality is top notch. These three straps are the best I have ever used. Where were you 15-20 years ago?  Thanks for simply a great product. I am almost embarrassed to say these
will probably last me a lifetime. They are that good. Best to you and El Dorado Guitar Straps. The best straps money can buy.
