Strap Locks Are a Must!

Time for another Quick Tip, and this one is super important! I've seen some beautiful guitars badly damaged in real time because they didn't have strap locks. Not pretty. Let's look at how you can avoid that. :)

What Is A Strap Lock?

A strap lock is a little piece of rubber or metal you put on the strap button to stop the strap from coming loose. Simple, but they can save you hundreds of dollars in repair bills! You can find them cheap but at more risk. If you pay for the best, I can guarantee your guitar strap won't come loose.

Which Strap Locks Are The Best?

My favorites are the Dunlop plastic locks, Schaller metal locks, and… Grolsch beer bottle tops! (See links below.)

The Dunlop plastic locks are cheap, strong, and easy to use. The Schaller metal strap locks are more expensive and tricky to fit but are effective and my favorite ones! The Grolsch option is less reliable but still works great. :) I recommend you try them all out and see what works for you.

Whatever your choice, make sure you use one. It's crazy not to. Invest a little bit of money, and your guitar will be safe and sound. :)
