Reply With QuoteI've opted for a mighty tasty set of straplocks on all seven of my electrics.
put the strap on, then slip the washers on over the strap buttons. Never had a problem, and the beer was mighty fine.

When it comes to either Dunlop or Schaller, does anyone know if you can buy just the parts that install on the guitar? Eventually you will have a lot of the belt portion or have to go out and buy a lot of belts. That would get pretty expensive.

The Dunlop lit seemed to indicate that was possible, but I have not checked for availability of individual parts.

I've never seen individual parts for sale for either locks.Originally Posted by just strum
One note of caution on the Schaller locks (don't know if I mentioned this here or not already) - use a dab of LocTite when you tighten the nuts on the strap clips. They have a tendency to loosen up if you don't. I always check mine prior to playing.

Yep, I use these straplocks too. They're my favorite because they come with free beer.I've opted for a mighty tasty set of straplocks on all seven of my electrics.

I found these at GC. I do not rememeber the manufactor's name. You have to look for good ones. Some are loose and some are very tight. I guess there is no Quality Control when these are mass produced.

I just bought a couple pairs of these from Stew-Mac to try out:

I figured I'd give them a try for the price and see how they hold up. Since I'm just playing at home for now I thought these might just fit my needs.

Dude, you must be a jinx! Maybe you should be the "voodooman" around here...The worst stage dive I ever saw was a Les Paul, and the funny thing was that I was talking to the guy about strap locks on the band's break - "Don't need 'em. I'm careful and they're too expensive".
Lo and behold, he took his hand off the neck when he started singing, and the front peg let loose. The guitar hit that hard floor and off came the headstock. It was painful to see and the guy just froze and started shaking. I was almost as freaked out as he was.:
