SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Well they keep your guitar from making that extremely disheartening sound when it falls off of your strap and crashes to the floor. Feature: They come as a pair. Each one consists of two parts: one you screw into your guitar and the other goes on your strap. Thet're very similar to the concept of Schaller strap locks, if you're familiar with them. The strap nut has a unique wing nut profile which makes it a breeze to retighten them on the fly. They also include a small wrench for tightening the wing nuts, but I found that I really didn't need it. Ease of Use: Very simple to use. Just pull the spring loaded pin out and put your strap on your guitar or take it off. Sure beats wrestling with trying to push on or pull off your strap without strap locks! One thing is worth mentioning though. They come with generic screws for fastening to your guitar body. Usually folks find that these screws are smaller than the original screws that came with their guitar. What to do? Very simple, actually. Get some thin toothpicks and some Elmer's glue. Coat a toothpick with the glue and push it all the way into the hole on your guitar, then repeat this process one toothpick at a time until you can't fit any more toothpicks in there. Allow to dry, preferably overnight, cut off the excess toothpick wood flush with the body, then screw in the strap lock screws. Quality: They seem pretty sturdy and well made Value: Great Value! Especially if you buy them from zZounds. They've got a great price on these as compared to "Those Other Guys". Not much coin to protect your cherished axe from one of the most common causes of cracked headstocks. The Wow Factor: Every guitarist should seriously consider investing in straplocks. Not only do they go a long way towards keeping your guitar safe, they also have the added convenience of making it very quick and easy to remove the strap from your guitar. Overall: I've always used Schaller straplocks for their simplicity and durability but I've encountered several issues with them that made me switch to the Hennessey's. Number one is that Schallers are not always that easy to find and second they're about one and a half times the price of these. Of course all of this means absolutely nothing if your strap is a POS to begin with, so I'd highly recommend upgrading your strap when you install strap locks (I use Kepur straps, the toughest, most comfortable straps out there).

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: NA Feature: It could be the best product, but it matches a very certain brands in terms of the screws. Ease of Use: It is easy to use. Quality: I have used it for one gig, and the black color is starting to come off... Value: I think it should cost about half of the price it goes for. The design of the strap heads (not the locks) does not allow it to match the screws of most of my guitars(Carvin, Stromberg, Ibanez). I suspect these straplocks were made with Strats and Tele in mind. Manufacturer Support: NA The Wow Factor: It looks kind of sharp after I matched it with my Heritage after using the original screws of Heritage which luckily fitted these one of the strap locks. Overall: Again, the strap-lock's factory screws are not going to fit all guitars, so do not try to use them on your guitar unless they are identical. It can damage your guitar if they are not. The idea is pretty cool, but the design is not well thought off in terms of too many models. I should have gotten the Dunlop straplocks which should fit just about any guitar strap holders

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
