I've owned fancy straplocks like Schallers but usually resorted to bag clips, the kind that keep your Wonderbread fresh. Look in your pantry, you probably have a couple. They work great!

Yep, bread bag clips work great, although it's a good idea to keep a bunch of 'em in your case. They break pretty easily....so you gotta keep a bunch of fresh ones on hand.Fedaykin wrote:I've owned fancy straplocks like Schallers but usually resorted to bag clips, the kind that keep your Wonderbread fresh.

I've always used the DiMarzio Quick-Loc straps. Other manufacturers also make knock-offs of this strap system. I haven't had a failure with the DiMarzios yet. The straps themselves are very soft and slick.
Just for the record...I'm a Seymour Duncan pick-up user but DiMarzio makes a great locking strap system.

Re: straps and strap-locks
I like the Schaller ones because they're solid and easy to use.

Re: straps and strap-locks
I "love" that picture of JAKE his basically dressed dark coloring/shades of green, brown & black with a Classic ESP alien green Guitar strapped to him with the most "serious" look on his handsome features. I also love the cover of this heavy Hard Rockin' space album/Cd recording: that "Fine Pink Mist" image is Jake E. Lee inner Soul. Very touching & seriously moving 
Peace.
Peace.
