99ster Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I've just got an [url="http://www.eldoradostraps.com/"]Eldorado[/url] strap - a 'Vintage' style one: [url="http://www.eldoradostraps.com/products2.htm"]http://www.eldoradostraps.com/products2.htm[/url] and it is absolutely fantastic. Hand-made from really high-quality leather, with a sheepskin shoulder pad - it looks like it will outlive me it's so well made!!! It cost me $98 USD (incl. shipping) & took a week to arrive. So that's less than £50 at the current exchange rate. It came really well packed, with great email comms - direct with the guy that runs the company. Highly recommended!

MB1 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 MB1. Eldorado was quite possibly the worst soap the BBC have ever produced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they all hastily written and badly acted tripe with trite plotlines to push the right buttons for the great unwashed with the single intention to get ratings? Soaps aside, the eldorado straps do look like a good deal I quite like a Durango one. Did you get stung by customs + vat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say that Mr Eldorado was very 'helpful' with the customs declaration so there was no duty/vat... A top guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theosd Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I bought a Harley Benton suede bass stra[. It was extra long and I had to make an extra hole to play it higher up my body, but for £10 it's fantasticquality and ain't never gonna snap or anything. Comfy n wide too if y'allz are after a budget strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
