Yep it looks sturdy it won't fall even If I do a backflip while holding my guitar, but i can't do a backflip anyway so I shouldn't be worried about that.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Coolnama https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/what-is-a-straplock/paged/2/#post-334285 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/what-is-a-straplock/#post-333814 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 06:08:25 +0000 http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Planet-Waves-PWSPL200-POLYPRO-GUITAR-STRAP?sku=501561 I had one of the Planet Wave's locking straps about 2 years ago and it worked ok but it can rub the guitar finish. You're also limited to whatever strap those special locking ends come on.

I stopped using it and have switched over to Schaller strap locks. The plus to these over Duncan's version is that if the locking mechanism fails the strap will still stay on the guitar due to gravity (there's a little u-shaped cup on the strap end) and this isn't the case with the Duncans.

The only thing to be careful of with the Schaller's is that the nut that holds the strap lock to the strap can work loose over time especially with thick straps. I find it best to crank the nut down with a socket wrench over a few days - the leather will compress some. After a couple of days I loosen the nut, drop on some low strength lock-tite (in case I ever want to take it off), and then re-tighten the nut.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Hyperborea https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/what-is-a-straplock/#post-333814 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/what-is-a-straplock/#post-333804 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 03:23:32 +0000 http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Planet-Waves-PWSPL200-POLYPRO-GUITAR-STRAP?sku=501561 I can't find them, which I hope means they're no longer made, but like the PW's you linked to, they attach to the strap allowing you to use one strap on several guitars. But the design was crap, and they snapped straight in half on me mid-gig. :evil: :evil: :evil:]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Scrybe https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/what-is-a-straplock/#post-333804 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/what-is-a-straplock/#post-333787 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 21:27:37 +0000
try this........more mechanically sound..

http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Schaller-Strap-Locks-and-Buttons-Pair-?sku=360389 Cool! Those are exactly what I use on just about everything. Schallers. Fender started the trend for me, as I mentioned.

Here's a Splatter Tele which I built - it's got them Schallers. There's no slippage compared to the vintage Trucker's Tele. :lol:




I also built this '65 relic replica Strat, but added new hardware including secure locks.

Not very authentic, but the new chrome stuff works, keeps in tune and nothing slips.

So it's pretty well one strap (with locks) fits all, specifically electrics, and GGH's link to Planet Waves locking strap seems like a good idea, and there you have it, another version - it is in the strap, wow, and not as much dependent on what kind of guitar or buttons you use. :D]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Blue Jay https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/what-is-a-straplock/#post-333787 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/what-is-a-straplock/#post-333785 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 21:05:57 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance TRGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/what-is-a-straplock/#post-333785 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/what-is-a-straplock/#post-333783 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 20:35:33 +0000
Anyhow, guitar stores are just wonderful in Toronto, such as the Twelth Fret, and that ubiquitous chain Long & McQuaid have been really good to me over the years - they know that their customers are their reason to be?

I think I know where all the other Music Stores and Pawn Shops are, but for some reason, have never bonded or connected - in nearly 40 years, what's up with that, I wonder? 'Scuse me, except for Tundra - vintage guitars. :wink:

As of now, I'm in the middle of nowhere, or at the head of the big lake, so far away, Thunder Bay. :|]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Blue Jay https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/what-is-a-straplock/#post-333783 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/what-is-a-straplock/#post-333771 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 15:56:15 +0000 http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Planet-Waves-PWSPL200-POLYPRO-GUITAR-STRAP?sku=501561]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Gabba Gabba Hey https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/what-is-a-straplock/#post-333771 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/what-is-a-straplock/#post-333753 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 06:15:19 +0000
