Questions & Answers
If the strap and the strap locks are attached, my Les Paul will not fit in my case. As a rule, I roll up the strap with locks in the storage compartment after I have removed it.
Doing that is a sure-fire way to damage your guitar!
There is no "made in China" label on these, I am confident of that. It's impossible for me to tell whether these are produced in Germany and then imported, or if Schaller has a facility in the United States.
It did not matter to me what color they were,

Straplocks from Schaller are perfect, not only because they're more secure, but also because you can hot-lock them to my bag if I need to. With ease and speed, you can change the strap on any guitar. **This is a new design, which has an extended thread length through which the lock can be threaded. In the positive column If you have a really thick leather strap, you can screw down the locking washer MUCH easier with this model. Negative The extended length also means that strap buttons on your guitar will extend further than the stock or normal ones. You can play your guitar with a case that looks like this The stems of these guitars will extend past the guitar body's mold once they're fitted. Furthermore, they have a very unusual look Attached to a strap, this is a long garment. Apart from that, these things are something I really like. The number of guitars I own is eight, and I have three straps. It is quick and easy for me to switch out a guitar strap when I use a different one. IF YOU ARE INSTALLING FROM A CD To screw them into the guitar body, you will need an allen wrench. In order to prevent splitting/cracking of your guitar body, be sure the length and thread size of the new strap buttons matches your original strap buttons.
The improved versions are definitely a step up from the original versions. In the original design, a nut and washer were used to attach the lock to the strap, but we replaced this with a knurled and threaded ring with a locking screw, so that it cannot loosen and come off (or get lost!). Besides being longer, the threaded shaft allows it to fit more comfortably into thicker premium padded guitar straps. There's also the issue that some sellers claim their 'Schaller' straplocks on Amazon are actually Chinese knockoffs, despite some claiming they're made in Germany. In one pair I ordered, the bag marked 'made in China' claimed to be German, yet it actually came from China. It turns out that the company that sells them on Amazon is neither a distributor nor licensed by Schaller. Additionally, I have also tried a Fender knock-off (which does not claim to be German or American made), but they weren't snappy until I used a file to straighten them out. This newer design is the real deal and currently the best available, according to me.
Schallers is a brand I have used for at least the last two There are a lot of products that claim to be "Made in Germany" so how can we possibly be certain of that? Over the past 6 years or so, I've had to change out two. Whenever you remove your guitar for the first time, you should immediately replace it! It was laying face down on a hard floor when it went down. You should heed this warning, even if the strat turned out well. I am a returning customer because I cannot find a product that looks like the one I have, i. e. , I already own one, and nothing for sale even comes close to it. My new shutters, however, appear to be built a bit differently from past shutters, and I hope they last for a long time to come. Look near the cylinder and if it is rounded off to me, it is on its The new ones can just be put on now. The new ones appear to be more durable than the older ones.
After the first time using this strap lock, I had disappointing results the second time. Locking straps with Schaller devices has always been my preference. The design of both sets they sent me was changed, and both sets had defective components. The Schaller products I used in the past cannot be used.
It should go in the A major flaw exists in the design of the new website. This part of the strap resembles the shape of a U and fits so tightly on the pin that it unscrews the pin from the instrument body. The old style Schallers have never had this problem in the dozen or more that I have installed. My first step was to unscrew the pin, clean out the original hole, insert a dowel using some Tightbond II, re-drill the pilot hole for the new Schallers with hex screws, and reinstall It took three days for these screws to come In my opinion, the new design cannot be put into place in the right manner, and needs to be changed This is a product I am not satisfied with.
For a 12 string Dean Boca guitar, I got these strap locks. A small screwdriver and an allen wrench are required for installation. They are mounted on the guitar without having to drill holes in it. If you want to use wax on the screw threads, you need to use a little at this step. It is important to remember that wax is your friend when it comes to screwing in wood. In order to use the system, you have to When I was inserting the S-lock in the strap, I had to trim a little around the hole in the strap so that the locking mechanism would fit easily This lock lets you through. I am very pleased with the quick and clean In my opinion, it is bigger and clunkier than I would like. It is for this reason that only 3 stars are given. Since I used LOXX strap locks, which have a much smaller profile, I was able to hold a guitar with no problems. While they may not be as strong as Schallers, they will still hold a guitar just fine.
A straplock system of this kind is the utmost quality on the market. I'm pleased with how easy it is to install, how safe it is, and how beautiful it is. There are no sharp edges or uncomfortable shapes to it. Almost all of my guitars have Schaller straplocks installed since forever, and I am always satisfied with their performance. The store gave me a pair of Fender straplocks that are copycats of the Schaller model at no cost when I bought a Fender American Professional Stratocaster. They are junk. The strap keeps getting loose from them, and they are difficult to pull in and out. As far as size and shape go, they're exactly like the Schallers I used on all my guitars up until 10 years ago (I hadn't bought any other guitars since then). The guitar parts look the same, but they are not the same product. So I got off those guitar parts and upgraded to the real thing, and to my surprise Schaller has improved the set, they were easier to install and have a better shape so there is less chance of damaging The functionality is as great as ever. As far as I can recall, I have never had to use a lubricant or sealer on a Schaller straplock, but I did have to use some WD-40 to keep my strap locked. It is 1940). Very well worth its price, this is a great product.
