i use locking, just in case... it's nice to know that your fav axe isn't going to hit the floor

that's basically what i do, i unscrew the post from the body, thread a washer bigger than the strap hole on to the screw, thread the screw washer strap post assembly through the strap and screw it back in

routing my old stratocaster pickguard for a pair of humbuckers with a dremel tool, wasn't a very good idea, i destroyed the pickgaurd and had to buy an aftermarket one heh
