Straps & Straplocks

Straps and strap locks

A guitar strap is a useful and important accessory to have for you and your musical instrument. Guitar strap must be chosen carefully, taking into account many details and nuances: the mechanism of attachment, size, and even manner of performance. An important factor is the material from which the accessory is made. The most common are leather and fabric guitar straps. You should also make sure that the strap is soft, doesn't rub on your shoulder and keeps the instrument in the right position. A leather guitar strap is the most comfortable. Among the well-known manufacturers of guitar straps are Dunlop, D'Andrea, Planet Waves, etc. Length is another essential feature to look for in your search for a guitar strap. If you play your guitar at arm's length, you'll want a longer strap to accommodate your reach. With such a wide variety of options and features available, you're sure to find a guitar strap that best suits your image and the style of music you play. After that, all you need to focus on is playing.

The strap buttons that come pre-installed on many guitars are typically very solid, however when it comes to using a strap for your guitar, you'll encounter that the holes that go on the buttons will wear and get bigger over daily usage. The last thing any guitarist wants is for their guitar to fall. Even if you typically have a fast reaction time, often it's too late and you'll be headed to the repair shop to fix your instrument. To prevent this situation, you need to purchase strap locks. There are many different brands out there from Dunlop, Schaller, Ibanez and more. A wide variety of types are available, ranging from simple rubber washers that help hold the strap onto the guitar’s strap button, to spring loaded metal clasps that can withstand hundreds of pounds of force. There are versions available for electric guitars/basses, and for acoustic guitars. Having strap locks on your guitar can make you feel a million times more secure that your guitar will stay in place, no matter what. Finding the best strap locks that will hold your guitar securely and still look cool can be a difficult task. Some strap locks replace the entire button on a guitar, while others are simply an addition to an existing system. Plastic strap locks may seem unreliable at first glance, but they do their job. Plastic strap locks also have the added bonus of not requiring you to modify your guitar in any way (no need to change the strap pins). The negatives of this basic style are that they obviously don’t offer the quick-release functions that some of the other strap locks do, while they also look a bit conspicuous. If you are willing to spend a little more, you can find metal strap locks that offer excellent security, style and a handy quick-release system. To install it, unscrew the standard guitar button and screw in a metal strap instead. The benefits of these systems are that they are very convenient when you want to take the strap off quickly. While made of metal, these systems tend to come with felt washers, that are included to protect the finish of your guitar.
