One of our custom-order strap projects is our hand-tooled “Bakersfield” model, fashioned as a tribute to
iconic Country Artist Merle Haggard.
Our first Bakersfield strap was a initially requested in 2004 by a customer from Norway, who is a member of a Country Music band called “Bakersfield” (you can see a video of the band and our first Bakersfield strap here). Since then, we have crafted a number of straps with either hand-painted or engraved sterling-plated lettering.
Our Bakersfield strap features hand-tooling along the strap length, a hand-painted tooled background panel, and hand-laced buckstitch edging. Adjustment can be provided either with a rear buckle or, like Merle’s, an extended “tail” section with several strap-buttonholes (we refer to our Bakersfield strap as a “tribute” model, not necessarily a dead-on exact replica)
El Dorado’s Bakersfield strap is a great way to add classic Western craftsmanship to your favorite guitar, and to celebrate a giant in American music who was a prime mover in creating the “Bakersfield Sound”.

I have 1 of your straps. I bought it guitarlington a few years back.I was wondering how much the tribute to Merle strap is? Extended tail & painted lettering. I would want Merle on it as I would like to pay homage to his life & music. I would also like to see if there is a padded version of this strap.
Thanks in advance, and I hope we can do some business.

I recently placed an order for the “Merle” Guitar strap so that it cold be
presented to my Son-in-Law, Ben McPeak, upon the release of his new CD,
“Better Off.” I recently received the guitar strap, as promised, and it is simply amazing. Ben loves it and has received many favorable comments about the strap. Thanks Bill for a fine job !!.
