homemade strap locks.....
any of you use homemade strap locks...... if so what do you use and how...
for me i use two metal washers... and one plastic one... i put a metal washer on each side of the strap... then on the bottom goes one plastic one... then i put the screw threw and screw it into the guitar... works great and cheap cost me like a buck total for everything..:) |
I just use a Planet Wave strap that comes with 'locks'. there is a dial that rotates and it locks onto my guitar. No issues with it at all. Then again I'm just a beginner and not doing much besides sitting or standing while I practice for about an hour every other day.

I make them out of old credit cards. or the fake ones one gets sent in the mail offering new credit cards. I cut a disk about the width of a strap, put a hole in the center (punch through with a scissors and then turn like a drill bit), placing two cuts outward so that the hole can be "stretched" for a second while forcing it over the end of the strap pin, like so:
-O- These will eventually wear out over the years, but I keep an eye on them and replace as necessary. I haven't had one fail yet. |

Also, how deep do you put the screw? Can you damage anything if you put it too deep? |
