Seriously my only complaint with Dunlop's is that you MUST (Hope Al is reading this).... I repeat you MUST insure the lock is fully in. I always insert, release the button, then push and pull once to insure it's locked in.
I have tried other locks over the years... but managed to have guitars come out of them all except the Dunlop StrapLoc's
But that's just me... your mileage may vary. |

But when I want to take a guitar out I like to already have the strap on it. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Problem with strap locks is that they're just plain ugly. I guess not as ugly as a busted guitar.
If I played standing up (which I usually don't) I think I would just use a washer and screw the strap "permanently" into the strap button screw hole of the guitar. If you think about it, as long as you have a dedicated strap per guitar, why do you ever need to remove it at all?

Toby I went that route initially but soon realized I had a small fortune invested in straps....that's when I had the big guitar strap sale about a year ago. Sold off about 10 or 12 of them and I still have like 10 sitting around on various guitars and cases.
Good comfortable guitar straps are not cheap! |

I do have a strap on my Koa Celebrity without the locs, in my case.
And to clarify my earlier statement...

Location: Round Rock, TX | Dang, Al. I got that cold gut-clenching feeling just reading about the fall. Even though, in the grand scheme of life, it seems very disproportionate, watching a beloved guitar fall, just beyond one's ability to rescue it, is a true bummer. I've had wrecked cars that cost me less emotional damage than a dropped/fallen guitar.
BTW +1 on the Dunlops. So what if you can't put the strap in the case? That's what gig bags are for. |
