Luap Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hi. I see that the neck strap button on a Casino is on the back of the guitar. Isn't this very dangerous (more chance for the strap to slip off) and very uncomfortable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 dot and sheri are that way, too.. feels good to me.. I use straplocks on everything.. esp like them on anything that could get hurt falling as easily as a semi hollow. TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luap Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Thank you. Any other opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Salina Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I get concerned about the strap slipping off as well. I tried the little red washers from the Grolish beer tops as strap locks and they do work. That inexpensive idea was suggested by someone on another posting. The contents of the bottle are also worth considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luap Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 And does it "feel" comfortable? It looks like the strap is turned 90 degrees too much when the strap button is on the back? (second question: are there any more strap lock models available?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennW Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I like 'em that way as long as the guitar stays balanced. With the button on the back you can change the angle you're holding the guitar and the strap remains perpendicular to the button and is much less likely to come off.

pohatu771 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I like it there. When you attach the strap, you attach the back to the endpin, and the front to the neck pin. It's actually more comfortable than my Strats, to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelake07 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 The Casino is well-balanced, light in weight and comfortable to hold. The neck strap button doesn't touch your body and isn't in the way. Straplocks on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icantbuyafender Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 meh... straploks all the way. No chancing it. My frankenpaul jr took an ugly fall during a late drink and jam session. had to replace the machine heads. luckily GFS sells some wallet friendly and quality stuff! for larger bodied guitars like the hollowbodies, the back of the neck placement is key to their balance and playability as bluelake said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
