dhanners623 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Played a gig tonight and as I was taking my strap off afterwards, I noticed the endpin jack collar that screws on was loose. It's happened before. So my question: Is there any reason why I shouldn't put a drop of Loctite or some other thread adhesive on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Blue Loctite, yes.......not a problem. Blue can be broken loose without much effort if necessary somewhere down the line. I have always done this with guitars that have an endpin jack, but recently have decided it best to separate the jack from the strap button. The strap is not twisting around on the jack, inevitably loosening it...........works quite well in this regard and I don't need to wrestle getting any old strap I want over an oversized jack.

I really like Buc's idea here. Sensible solutions to ongoing pains-in-the-butt are always welcome in my opinion! Also, a strap button (1960's variety) will work fine if you don't want to use the friction fit kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Dadarrio makes this awesome $12 strap doohickey that is also a great solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Not a dumb question at all. I never thought of using Loctite.....Good question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
