How To Install Strap Locks? | Guitar Strap Lock Comparison 

Love those! Fun fact, the first time I googled for one of those, I came across strap-ons... I was like "wtf?!" XD

I just serching a video of lock starp and yours was the first hahaha I love that dude...and yes...i love your Ibanez and still waiting for the changing tunes video dude haha

11:08 haha yes I did the same recently, I also switched to that same new position and with a strap, it just feels more similar to standing.

The systems where the piece that is on the strap is just screwed with a hex nut like the old style Schaller, Ernie Ball and Gotoh are prone to fail. They get lose over time and the strap can slip off if one does not check the hex nut regularly. The only ones that are usable in my opinion are the new Schaller with the locking thumb screw and the system from Dunlop. A downside of the Schaller style ones (also Fender for instance) is that the U-shaped part starts to rotate on the strap, especially with the pin position of a Les Paul style guitar. This happens on all my leather straps. The "teeth" that should dig into the strap to avoid rotation do not work for my straps. I also don't like to have to enlarge the hole in the strap. I like to have the option to put the strap on another guitar that does not have dedicated strap lock pins. That all in mind leads me to Dunlop being the only option (for me). The rubber washer also works great by the way. It's just annoying if one often removes/attaches a strap.

Great comparison and detailed explanation. What I dont like about Gotoh is you have to cut the hole strap. I almost died when you put the screws over the RG550 Body 😅

What’s your favorite strap lock system?

Greta video, personally I wouldn't even have bothered with cutting away the strap, I'd just nip it up a bit tighter with a spanner, it wont be moving then, and with the extra grip even cheapo straps should have a decent lifespan, although I do like a nice thick leather strap myself!

I still prefer Jim Dunlop Straploks and have never had a problem with them.

Thanks

Does it matter the kind of straplock? Can I just take off the factory strapholders and screw on any straplock I want?

you know what grinds my gears? J customs have locking straps but no locking tuners!

You don't have to pull the pin on the Schaller system when attaching the strap.... just hook it on.

What about the sound during moving Scheller system?

I Aldo like Ernei hall brand guitar lock strap locos better

Very good thanks for that.... Dont drop it !! Haaaaaaha
