Action Custom Straps has been privileged to make the guitar straps you see Jimmy Buffett wear in concert since 2002.
- 2002 -
The first strap we made for Jimmy was a strap he wore at a Birthday bash for Jerry Jeff Walker. It was a little wide, a little loud, but he was going to Texas!
The original Hula Girl
Then we made the original Hula Girl strap to go on his (then) new PRS. Here is the original Hula Girl before being shipped. The Hula Girl was hand embroidered and then hand beaded.
Here is a picture of Jimmy wearing the Hula Girl strap in 2002. You can still see it in action at his concerts!
The Hula Girl strap is available and it is exactly the same as Jimmy’s. Price is $400.00 including shipping.
Later in 2002 we made the Pirate strap that Jimmy wears for his song, “A Pirate Looks at Forty.”
The original “Pirate” strap was auctioned off in 2015 to benefit the Bryan Brothers Foundation.
The winning bid was $3,550.00
Jimmy is now wearing a newer version.

And who could forget the “somebody” strap that went so perfectly with Mac’s “NOBODY” strap.
