Location: UK - Canterbury Kent | I visited two local guitar stores in Canterbury(UK) in the hope that I would be able to pick up a set of strap locks for my 1778 LX, which has gold hardware as standard. No luck at all.
I saw recently on this web site, that the Ovation range is fitted as standard with the female Jim Dunlop Strap lock connection. What is the part number for the male connector, or do you have to buy the complete kit.
The Jim Dunlop web site says part number SLS 1034G for the complete kit, but it does not show the male connctor on its own.
Any advice gratefully received.

Location: NW NJ | I think you're stuck with the kit ... at least I've never seen the male pieces sold alone. I thought that Stewart MacDonald had 'em, but they only list nickel and black. Musician's Friend has them in black, nickel, brass and gold. here's a link:

Location: Warren,Pa. | I've been through this a few times myself...you gotta buy the whole set. Not to worry, though; sooner or later you'll buy one of the older Ovations that don't come with these, and you can put the spares on. |

Location: East Wenatchee, WA | Actually, I was thinking of buying a set and installing the female on my 1537, since I use the same strap on both my Adamas and the 1537 would make swaps easy and cheap. |
