wonderman Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 I am a prowdly user of schaller strap lock!!! shhhh.. don´t tell this to my gibson, but it came as a fender product! ahaha (i don´t know if this is only in my country, or in europe, or so, but fender strap lock´s are schaller ones (in the piece itself, you can read schaller, and in no place at all you have any kind of reference to fender) so, what i´ve done: i simply took off the original screw, and put two "little black sponge discs" with the strap button, AND the new screw... it´s a little bigger, and a little (veeeeeeeeeeery little) thinner than the original one, but when i´ve started to tighten the screw, i felt it was forcing like the original one; so... the new screw is all way down. I feel the button is really tightened! mission accomplished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 don´t tell this to my gibson' date=' but it came as a fender product![/quote'] My 1993 Strat came with them. I went to the shop to get a set of Schallers and the guy who sold me the guitar asked what I was gonna put 'em on. The Strat he sold me, I told him. He said nothing as I handed him the cash. I got home, took off one of the "Fender" pins and set it on the couch beside me. Opened the Schaller package and dumped them on the couch too....... DOH!!! Later I asked him why he didn't say anything. "I thought everybody knew that!" was his reply. He assumed I was buying them to get the Schaller locks for my strap, which I had to do anyway.....

phil_104 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 When I am going to by my standard this summer, I am going to request that a tech installs dunlops on it before I bring it home. Just a quick question...Woud the standard gibson screws fit in the dunlop pins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dleib34 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 This is just my personal opinion, but I've never found the need for straplocks. I've owned 3 LPs now and I've never had one fall off the strap. Granted I don't do a lot of jumping around and acting crazy. And I'm a bit of a fat boy so maybe my gut pushing the guitar out helps keep tension on the strap I support the idea for straplocks, but personally haven't had to use them. Just my opinion... Plus a lot of people on here swear by them so you should definitely take that into account. If I were you, I'd buy a set and see how easy they are to install and how much (if any) they'll alter your guitar. If your uncomfortable with making those changes, then just return them.
