Locking Guitar Straps

[Philly Q]

... perhaps when I get an SG, as I don't think the Schallers will be comfortable sticking that far out of the back of the guitar.

I find the Schallers are fine on behind-the-neck strap buttons, there's enough room to get your thumb/hand under the strap at that point.

My straplocks. Idea stolen from EVH. Carabiner  through the strap holes and your guitar is going no where.

+1 I use this in both my Les Paul Trad and Explorer, I think it just works very well. I don't know how active you'll be with the guitar, but if there was one way to make sure your guitar does not go ANYWHERE, it would be this. And it looks pretty badass too!

I've used the Dunlops forever. Tried the Schallers once but found them too fiddly to switch guitars in a hurry.

Without a doubt Schaller strap locks are the absolute best out there!

I've had schallers come out of the body before.

The ONLY ones I'll use are dunlop flush mount.
The look great, work great and the only instance where they can fail is if the mechanism becomes rusted.
Generally I change the buttons on my strap every 6 months or so.
Besides this they're foolproof and unless you play sweat sauna venues like i do, you'll be fine

Dunlop (the flush-mounts kick-ass but, scare the hell out of me to install!) and Grolsch gaskets for me.

Schaller ones for me, have 'em on all my guitars.

And to any Grolsch-haters - I recently saw none other than Mr. Jeff Beck using 'em!

Got the Planet Waves strap and it works fine. Saves screwing around changing the hardware of the guitar. But - they should make two models of the this strap - one for Strat types (button on the horn) and one for Gibsons (button on back of the neck). With my Firebird the Strap is a bit twisted which it wouldn't be if the fitting was reversed on one end of the strap. Having said that, it's not really a problem and I feel much safer at gigs.
