Strap Locks

I like the Dunlops

Very easy, use a screwdriver to swap them out.

I like this http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--DNP7007SI But at my local music shop I can get this for less then a buck.
Its simple it has 2 parts to it.  you turn the top piece until the hole is matching the back piece.  You put it on your exisiting strap peg after you already put the strap on the guitar.  This fits over it.  Now you take the top piece and rotate it 180 degrees.  It has an egged shaped hole but when you close it up the egg turns into a very tight holding hole that will not come off your peg.  YOUR DONE.  No screw drivers, no mods, and a great product that works!

I prefer Schallers but the Dunlop strap locks that come with the JBLP are just as good. Or, you can use the old tried and true method of the Grolsch beer bottle rubber washer. You can find them at any beer & wine making store or via the internet. Or buy a rack, enjoy the beer and save the washers.

Hi All,

Thanks for all the good tips, I like the Schaller strap locks a lot  but the Gibson LP's the screw on the back is bigger than the ones that come with the Schaller locks i guess you would fill it and re tap it??

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

here is the best tip for installing the Schaller strap locks on the Bonastudio that i found on the forum.
The problem is the Gibson screw is larger than the Schaller.

1. use the Gibson screw.
2. Drill out the Schaller button to fit the screw.
3. now take a dermal and grind head of the screw to fit the Schaller button.
4. you can use the dermal to enlarge the holes in the strap to fit better.

took me less than ten min.

Why all the expense? Here's how it should be done. Put ur strap on the guitar and lock it in place with 2x tight fitting rubber gromets. I have 2x sets of schaller and 1 dunlop. The schaller I had to cover with lock tight as the screws kept undoing the dunlop is easily the best bit it came with my 90's strat. All my other guitars use a rubber gromet to lock the strap on. Unless I could get the same dunlops I wouldn't bother using anything else.

Hi. Nothing wrong with the Epiphone ones that come with the JB les Paul. Just push the straplock through the strap. fasten it on tight with the nut and washer with the open end on the inside of the strap pointing upwards. You then put it below the pin on the guitar and pull up till you hear it click into place. Mine stay on like glue. No problem.
