QuoteI have straplock buttons on all my instruments and I wouldn't want to stop using them.

I'm using these new Planet Waves Locking Guitar Straps  - no mods to the guitar required, and the Strap stays right where I want it.

Planet Lock:
Planet Waves patented Planet Lock system fits virtually any guitar and stays locked in place until you release the side pin. Unlike ordinary strap lock systems, the Planet Lock is designed to fit securely on your guitar's existing end pins, eliminating the need to change the hardware on your guitar. Plus, you can use the same strap on different guitars.

The Planet Lock is safe, secure, and easy to use.

Another fan of the Planet Waves locking strap here!   8)

I have one of these also.  It works great, but I'm not 100% sold on it, because I feel it could scratch the surface after extended use.  The plastic is hard, and I feel it could become any issue over time.  But if you're not worried about something like that, it's a great strap.

I picked up these for my ESP Lynch:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006ZXFWO?

They work as well as the PL, without the (admittedly unnecessary) worry.

Very cool!  I'll have to try these.

Interesting, but for two reasons;

1 - All my guitars have Dunlop pins - which means I have invested in around €200 worth of straplocks :)

2 - I have a particular strap (which I really like) and I can't see how the PW bits would fit on it.

I use the planet waves one too, went and bought one when someone told me he was walking downstairs with his acoustic and his strap fell out and his acoustic ended up in pieces at the bottom. :'(

Be sure you have the grey, rubbery side facing the guitar and not the black, hard plastic side.
