Dunlop Straplok System

I use the black and the chrome finish ones. The screws are a bit larger than stock, so you have to make sure you drill an appropriately sized hole...they sould be permanent...if there is a strap button that you find yourself either screwing in again and again, or replacing...then that aint no good! I have had the same exact locks on some of my guitars for more than 10 years! No rust, no chipping, no damage at all. These aint fancy, they're just tough little buttons that hold on and don't let go. Some of the strap pins have even been in the same strap for several years with none of the rattling issues mentioned previously. Perhaps the leather tabs of the strap were not thick enough to press against that large circular washer. I'd reccomend buying a nice, hefty, high quality strap, drilling a correct sized hole, make sure the little lock washer goes, 'click' and you'll be solid for years.

I installed the Dunlop Straplok System on a Les Paul a few years ago. The screws were a little longer than the stock items. After removing the original hardware, the holes should be drilled a bit deeper rather than forcing the Dunlop screws into solid material. Don't overdo it! A small bit that slides comfortably into the existing holes and modeler's pin vise are the right tools for this job.

I love these things. I think the Schaller's are just as good but I prefer the mechanics of the Dunlop. Dropping your guitar sucks. Dunlop Straploks stop the drop.

Just installed these on a recently acquired guitar - I wouldn't think of taking it on stage without them. They NEVER release unintentionally, are fully reliable, simple to use and bulletproof. The gold-standard for strap locks.

...knowing my guitar isn't going to separate from the strap while moving around and fall to the floor. Easy to install and easy to use.

This is the first time i tried straploks and i never thought i would. I love 'em! install was simple and straight forward after i found instructions on the web!

These straplocks are easy to fit but there is a rattle from them. The finish too looks suspect.

These are the ones that other companies copy or try to improve. It can't be done. These are the best. There are none better. Easy to install and use. Everything that is needed for a professional installation is included. They take away the worry of straps slipping loose and damaging your favorite instrument. I highly recommend them. I use no other straplock system for my own personal instruments or those of my customers. I am very satisfied and will buy again. As always, expedient shipping is the word with Stew-Mac. Never made a purchase that was less than exemplary. Thanks again!

It functions as a strap lock. At the same time it rattles creating a reverberation. Noisy.

Between the various straplocks available, this is easily the best. The buttons are the same size as standard, so your axe will still fit in it's case ... and the chingas have a post you can fit through your strap without cutting a larger hole. Just be careful to really get them locked! It's no fun to get snapped in the face by one slipping out that wasn't really in there ...
