Makes live so much easier---- :sweet: |

All Gibsons and Fenders get Straplocks. Everything else gets Dimarzio locking straps. I like the Dunlop Straplocks a little better.

i use a normal strap on my les paul, but put a big assed washer (like froma bolt) on the neck strap post to hold the strap on, my bass i use just a normal strap, the straps seem to stay on the bass fine without a straplok

Well I use strap locks on MY Epi LPC but my Jackson and PRS SE both have big strap buttons stock so a regular strap seems to fit really snug.
I dont like the look of the detachable strap ends on on some brands clip lock systems. But they do work well. |

hey there another jackson guitar player....... :w: and yes Jackson's have nice fat buttons so straps stay on...

Dimarzio cliplocks are the ones I use, they work and they are comfortable enough for me :sweet:

I use the Schaller straplocks, they are hard enough to get off when you are trying to get a strap off, I've never had a guitar fall with them. Spending $15 is worth the piece of mind.
(Especially if you are trying to keep you new strat with a floyd safe) :jumpgrin: |
Re: anyone here use locking straps.. or just regular ??
never thought about trying Schaller straplocks, i may have to look into these.....

I make my own home-made straplocks.
I cut a disk of plastic from those fake credit cards people send you in the mial, cut an X in the middle of the disk, then press it down over the end of the strap onto the strap pin. Eventually these may beak but so long as you take a glance at them from time to time and replace as necessary, they're a lot safer than a strap alone. |

i used to use coffee can lids for straplocks, but they never really worked that well and looked like crap lol
|
Re: anyone here use locking straps.. or just regular ??

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

Credit cards and similar thickness ID-type stiff plastic cards work well though. You can make emergency picks out of credit cards too. |
Re: anyone here use locking straps.. or just regular ??
I personally don't have strap locks, just because I've never had problems with my strap falling. One of my friends also uses washers though, and they work great as an effective inexpensive straplock*
*(I'll post this in the tips and tricks thread too if it hasn't been mentioned) |
Re: anyone here use locking straps.. or just regular ??
I have always used regular straps on my acoustic. Never have had a problem with them.
