Favorite Strap Lock solution?

[PLX]

Almost 2 pages in and @FuzzyAce hasn’t come along and illustrated how he secures his strap on. Gotta be some kinda record…

Is he throwing the guitar like Phil X ?

Schaller S locks on half and a mixture of Cliplocks and old Schaller on most of the rest. Some vintage pieces have stock.

It was skunky iirc? Many, many, many moons ago!

Drank a lot of it (and numerous others!) in college. Don't remember much now...

Mostly old Schallers or clones, some new S types, Zeppelin locks (don't care for them, they unscrew and come apart too easily), Dunlop, and some of the clip lock ones on my SGs that stay on as they are pita to remove. I believe that's it...

I install PRS strap buttons (Fender string trees) on all my guitars and use standard straps.

I have the other D’Addario strap locks.

What’s the consensus on something like this?

I use them. Love them. I hate those clanky, big-ass options made of metal or
some ginormous plastic.

These fucking work. I have about a dozen.... because you know..... guitars.

I invested in straps for all of my guitars so I don't have to worry about removing
them. I also play standing up 90% of the time. Great Cardio!

If someone doesn't like them black Ernie Ball makes them in almost
every color.

Basically the same here, but when sitting while playing, I often just don't like the burden of a strap flapping around.

I’ve been using Schallers for about 30 years now, I still have the strap I used back in my 90s bar band with the locks on it that I installed in 1994.

I didn't know strap locks were a thing back when my LPC Silverburst was new, until it slipped off the strap and dropped straight to the floor!

I almost had a heart attack!

 

[TVvoodoo]

Did I not send you a pair of Pro-pins? Is this what you referred to as not workable?

 

[OrganicZed]

I exclusively use the old style Schaller locks.

All it takes is that one close call (or an actual drop) and you’ll forever be anal about it. I know I am.

Yes you did, but I need to be able to remove the strap. :)

@Iron1 hmmm. hundreds of users seem not to be suffering similar issues... in fact the re-order factor on these is quite high. Is this a problem on one favoured strap or several? I have personally had no issues with a number of famous brands ... One trick you can try is to screw a Pro-Pin into a fence post or door jamb if you are feeling it's too much pressure on a guitar. Once a strap goes on and off a few times you'll likely find it properly trained. It may slow your roll seeking more complex solutions

As you can see, lots of options work.

I use Dunlops mainly, but I have a couple of guitars with Schallers on them. Both work very well.
