Premium Strap Locks (3 Pair) - Black

For years I used detachable metal strap locks on my guitars. These are the kind where you have to replace your existing strap buttons on your guitar with one piece and attach the other piece to the ends of your strap. They do the job well enough but they offset the attachment point further away from the guitar body, increasing mechanical stress in that area. Here's how I know:Some of my favorite guitars have a slender build, where the cutaways are maximized to allow better access to the higher frets. The area where the strap attaches to the guitar (the tip of the horn) is quite slim. A few years ago I noticed that the front strap button on my favorite guitar kept loosening up. A closer look revealed a small stress crack parallel to the screw. I immediately removed the strap locks, reinstalled the original buttons and, shortly afterward, installed these rubber strap locks. The strap and the screw have remained in place ever since with no adjustment. I now use them on all my guitars.I highly recommend these rubber strap locks as they are inexpensive, install/uninstall easily and should last indefinitely without any added mechanical stress.

the guitar savers premium strap locks fits perfectly ,you put the guitar strap on the strap button/knobs ,then put the strap lock(s) on after strap is on ,put strap lock on and it goes on strap button against your strap and against the raised part of the strap button , it goes on nicely ,it is flexible so it goes on easy and locks the strap snug tight perfectly stays in place stays locked in , it stays tight you can play your guitar in confidence , its not moving until you yourself pull the strap lock off the strap button yourself , its supports pfectly and I realize that with out this strap lock that the strap rides the wall of thestrap button , in which putting on this strap lock pushes the strap up to center and botton of strap button neck and this strap lock stays on button neck and stays there the strap lock holds the strap tightly snug and when you push the strap lock over the strap button just make sure the strap lock is completely over the raised wall of the strap button and the strap lock stays secure between the inside side of strap button wall up against the strap it pushes the strap futher down the neck of the strap button and the strap lock fills that space and prevents from your strap riding the side wall of the strap button ,the strap lock is a firm cushion its firm yet soft feel and will not damage your strap or guitar button , easy on and stays on secure until you remove it your self , I myself leave the guitar strap on the guitar strap button with the strap lock left on it and because I leave the strap with strap lock on it , I ordered 2 more sets for all my other guitars as each single pack of this strap lock has three (3) pair in the pack so now I have a pair for each guitar I own and if I get another guitar I will order these strap locks again , buy it you will be glad you bought it ,5 stars out of 5 stars . buy it.

I have no idea who first thought to use heavy rubber washers as strap locks (I like to think it was some roadie in a frantic backstage move).Regardless, it's the kind of solution I love: effective and simple.The pieces are 1/8" thick with about an inch outer diameter - enough material to lock down a strap over pins of various sizes and shapes yet still allow some rotary movement for the strap. Unless you remove straps often (I don't) you'll probably only need a lock on the bottom where there's often more movement that causes strap holes to wear and widen more quickly over time.Unless you're jumping around a lot and applying some serious torque to your strap you just don't need the locking force of metal strap locks. And if you play vintage instruments you may not want to drill and mess with the existing pins.I only need a lock on the bottom, and usually just on heavier guitars like my Ibanez Artist from the late 70's. It weighs a ton and the strap often pops off while I'm slinging the guitar on. After fitting one of these over the pin (which takes seconds), the strap hasn't slipped once and feels as though it never will.The rubber is malleable enough it's hard to believe it would ever dry out and crack under normal temperatures. But if you're concerned you can moisten the pieces occasionally to keep them pliable.Bottom Line: Great deal. Wish I had these years ago - I would have avoided some conspicuous dings and dents!

I love these things and have since removed all the clanky metal strap lock devices I have and replaced them with these, only ones I like better are the newer ones with a lil tab to make getting a grip on them easier

I use these on all my bass guitars. Don't risk your strap coming loose and dropping your instrument on the ground.These are super simple and cheap. I prefer them to mechanical strap locks because you don't have to unscrew the strap buttons from your guitar body and deal with possibly stripping the screw hole and having to use toothpicks and wood glue and whatever else. Just keep it simple.I use these on my 12lb bass with a 4.5" thick leather Levy strap, and they work perfectly. Haven't had them pop off even once.
