    Sorry, I thought everyone knew this old trick. People have been using Grolsch stoppers as strap locks for a long time. They work great...

    I also found some black ones that are similar at the hardware store that work well, and are a bit less visible. Works great! Kinda fun to collect the red ones the old fashioned way though!

    Just stick them over the strap pegs after you have your strap on. They then help prevent the strap from just slipping off the peg, especially after the straps loosen up a bit.

    Plastic tags from bread bags work the same way but aren't as durable.
    Electric: Fat strat > Korg PB > TS7 > DS1 > DD-20 > Cube 60 (Fender model)

    Acoustic: Guitar > microphone > audience
