Fender® “F” Straplocks are designed for simple, no-hassle performance and reliability. Design features include: A secure and simple release action system which holds up to 100 pounds. Simple, removable fastening cap allows you to change straps effortlessly.
I looked at a few strap locks before buying these fender ones. So just to compare a little, these use a similar pull mechanism to the Hennessey locks. However, the fenders are a few bucks cheaper. The dunlop design uses a press button, which could be pushed by mistake. The pull design of these fender locks requires you to reach to the inside of the strap to release them. I liked this because they cannot really be unlocked any other way. Also, compared to the dunlop and schaller designs, the fender lock is larger. The male side is wider than the schaller and longer then the dunlop. The female end is larger, respectively. However, I do not feel like they are "too" large, but this is a matter of my opinion. I believe the ernie ball locks are even bigger (not completely sure). The lock is not as easy to operate as the schaller because the schaller can be operated with two fingers, and the fender can be operated with three at the least. The only downside to these is that they rattle slightly when the weight of the guitar is not pulling on them (which is basically never). The locks seem very sturdy and Im not at all worried about them coming out. I am currently using them on my schecter 4-string. When attaching them, I realized I got more screw engagement by using the existing screw instead of the ones supplied with the locks. Overall awesome product.
If you own a thick strap, do not buy this lock.. the screw length is too short to go through and get fastened... i own an onori strap and this strap lock is useless coz it wont fasten onto the strap...
I bought black pair of these to go on my Olympic White American Strat. I know strats are not the heaviest guitars, but recently it started coming off the strap during play. Installed in 10 minutes with no hang ups, they work perfectly, plus look very cool with the "F" logo. The guitar feels so much more secure, it really allows me to get after it, without the slightlest worry of the guitar dropping mid solo.
