Hey Everybody!
Great board and site. I want to put strap locks on my 3 year old Celebrity CC 026. I searched and found a couple other threads on this subject and saw where someone said that it should already be ready to accept Dunlops, but mine is not. I bought some Dunlops, but they come with a wood screw and the thread insert on my Celebrity is for a machine screw. Also the existing machine screw head is too big to fit down into the Dunlop. If there aren't any that I can buy, I may end up machining down the head of my existing screw to make it fit the Dunlops, but I hope to avoid that. Any other ideas out there? Your help is greatly appreciated.

The USA guitars come with Dunlop sockets, the imports have regular Ovation buttons. Take the machine screws from your Celeb & file the head a little smaller so it will fit into the Dunlop socket. They're only slightly bigger so it doesn't take much to make them fit. I've done this a few times when I've put Dunlops on my older Ovations
