Schaller Security Locks

Feature:
I droped two guitars before I got these, and have never droped another. The first guitar I droped with no strap locks at all, and the second was with Dunlop Strap Locks, which are terible. Don't ever get the Dunlop strap locks unless you plan on taking out insurence on your guitar.

Quality:
All things concidered, this product isn't that hard to do wrong, which makes me wonder how Dunlop got it wrong.

Value:
I think after you compare the price of repairing a broken guitar to the price of a set of these you will see the value.

Desirability:
They look awesome on my guitars. They come in all of the same colors as the hardware on my other guitars, (I own Black, Gold, and Chrome/Nickel hardware guitars,) and you can not realy ask for more than that.

Ease of Use:
These things are so easy to use, you will think they read your mind before making them, so they would know how to make them just perfect.

Overall:
I will be puting these on all of my future guitars, so long as I am buying more guitars.

Feature:
I love these strap locks -- I'd never buy another brand. They are really intelligently designed. First, they 'lock' in just like most strap locks, but even if the lock mechanism broke, your guitar would still not fall on the floor, because the thing holding it up is the 'cup' or 'cradle' that the strap pegs sit in. And that brings me to my next point -- when you attach the strap, you do it by just putting the peg in the cradle, and the weight of the guitar causes it to sink down in the cup and engage the lock. With other brands, such as dunlop straploks, actually putting the strap on is much more tedious (though admittedly doable). But the main thing is, the whole weight of the guitar is resting on these stupid ball bearings in the lock mechanism, and after a while the springs wear out, and your guitar keeps falling out of the lock. I used to have the dunlops, and luckly my guitar never fell without me catching it, but that really was just luck. If you're thinking of getting those, get these instead -- it's worth the extra 3 bucks. By the way, one of the negative reviews below is definitely about the Dunlops, and NOT Schaller Straplocks (Schallers don't have the little balls he's describing). I have a feeling the other negative review is also about the Dunlops also...if you droped your guitar using these it's your own fault (with the dunlops I could definitely see that happening).

Quality:
These things are top notch. The gold plating on mine has not rusted or worn off at all, and I've had these for a while. They look nice, and they'll withstand the test of abuse and time.

Value:
These are a really good deal, especially when you consider it's the only thing keeping your guitar from falling on the floor.

Desirability:
These things are a major turn on. Seriously, though, it's really sweet to be able to switch one strap between guitars quickly and easily, and know that it's gonna stay put.

Support:
You won't need support. That's what makes these babies great.

Overall:
Nothing more to say, really. These things rule. If I lost em, I'd buy em again, even if the price was higher. Just go out and buy em.
