Do any of you use strap locks I'v been looking at getting some, but i'm not sure which ones to get, are they all basically the same, would i need to drill the holes bigger for the new screws ?? or will my old screws fit, or what ? i was been thinking of getting the Schaller Strap Locks, Any feedback would be good My guitar came off the strap last night at band practice, luckily i caught it before it hit the ground, but i hurt my wrist by catching it ![](http://foolstown.com/sm/bur2.gif) so i dont want that to happen again, that why i'm going to get me some strap locks, never had that happen before,

The same thing happened to my son. I got him a set of Dunlop Dual-Design Strap Lock System. He has a Epi LP and I installed it in less than 10 minutes with just a phillips screwdriver and no modifications at all. Works great. First thing out his mouth was, " Now I can do guitar spins".

Hey Sparky these are what i use, they cost me £2.50, a set. which is about $4.00, or there about They're made out of plastic, they just slip over your strap, strap button, then just twist/turn the front part, and Bingo there you go, there no way that strap's coming off, (unless i break them) ![](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c142/goghead/dude.gif) Then twist them back, and they're off, i find they work well I got them on line, from Strings & things, over here in the UK, ![](http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t276/lonesome_02/Straplocks002.jpg) ![](http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t276/lonesome_02/Straplocks004.jpg) They work well on all guitar straps that I've tried them on, from thin straps, to thick leather straps, cheap and easy to put on and take off

The straps I used have the locks built right in. They fit on all my guitars. I found them at Guitar Center. I can't tell you how many times the old worn straps would slip off. These new lock on straps are great.
Mine are "Planet Waves" straps. I tried to get a link on the planet waves web site. But couldn't find the straps. Sorry.

Yeah Punk, they are pretty good, and the straps are OK as well A couple of student's have these straps, and they dont break the bank, they are good for the price ![](http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t218/greenbro/coolp.gif)

Thanks Punk, that's another option for me to think about, So i could use one strap for all my guitars, (i'v only got two elecis, at the moment ![](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c142/goghead/sign0020.gif) ) save me buying a few straplock,s, yeah that's cool Thanks to y'all,

Sorry about the double post. I have a couple of those straps, but there's no reason why you couldn't use one for all your guitars. They snap on and off quickly. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
