Holydiver,

 

That could be a tough one. I don't think they have been on the market very long to begin with.

As it is, Epiphone Brand replacement parts are pretty hard to find, unless someone is parting out a guitar.

(Ask anyone that has tried to get an exact replacement pickguard.)

 

You might have some luck by sending Gibson Customer Service a Email and asking them.

(oops...Pete.R beat me to it)

 

If the original "broke", are you sure you want to replace it with one just like it? You might be better off just replacing both with one of the many high quality brands that are more easily obtainable.

 

Hope other forum members are of more help.

It broke and you want one of the same type to replace it with?

That's just asking for trouble!

Do yourself a favor and buy some straplocks that aren't forged from cheap pot-metal (Dunlop/Schaller/Fender)

they are bound to hold up much better and way longer.

Thanks for all the replies!

 

I sent a mail with a copy of my bill saturday to Service.Europe@gibson.com and they are already sending me a new one!

That what I call service (:

 

Well they aren't that great, but they do the job for now.

FYI ... I have these on my Les Paul Traditional Pro. With a thick leather strap, there is not much thread between the nut and the end of the post, and the nuts can come off. I suggest that you use a little bit of

Blue Loctite

to keep the nut from spinning off the end of the post, defeating the whole purpose of a strap lock.

I didn't use those, I went with the Schallers..

 

I'll have to put these on one of my other LP's and see how they are

They're a very crude copy of a Schaller -
