Dunlop Dual-Design Straplok System

Comments about Dunlop Dual-Design Straplok System:

These straplocks work great and are the only ones I buy. However if your the kind of person who likes to move around A LOT, like me [ex. jumping, swinging guitar around yourself] . . . you'll run into some problems. I put these straplocks on every guitar I have, and after enough jumping/swinging/w.e. the bottom screw strips itself out, and or bends. I fixed this problem by using glue and jamming little pieces of wood in the hole, so far this has worked, but who knows for how long. My friend plays bass and had the same problem and the glue/wood thing failed. he eventually was forced to drill new holes. So if you like me, be careful, and if you just need the locks simply prevent little accidents get these straplocks.

So I got the gold strap locking system for my Epiphone Les Paul Custom and i am amazed! It took me a little bit more effort than i thought i would have to take to put it but for good reason. The screws that it came with were a bit bigger than the stock screws so if you've got the same guitar (im not sure about other guitars) then be prepared to do some work. Its really cool how it all stays in one piece! No need to reassemble it every time...or at all :) They pop in and out with ease and they are so far extremely durable. It gives my guitar a more professional look plus its more comfortable to play standing up. I am so glad i bought this!!!! Im planing on attaching a set to all my guitars and straps PS- I have an Alpine White Epiphone Les Paul and i had to use a drill to make the hole bigger and get the new screws in.

I use these on 3 guitars, an ESP KH-202 (Light Weight Guitar), B.C. Rich Bronze Series Warlock (Light Weight Guitar), and an Ibanez RG7321 (Medium Light Weight Guitar) and these are amazing! As you can see none of my guitars are heavy, so i cant speak for heavy Guitars. But anyways these are fantastic, The screws are a little big for most guuitars, but its all good. They are sturdy, and come in universal colors, Black, Chrome, Gold. Plus if you put these on all of your guitars you can use one strap for em all! My strap has not fallen of my guitars since i got these! Pick some up, you wont regret it!

The one and only!! I would not even touch the next closest strap locking system out there. The Dunlop Straplok System is durable and can take any type of abuse. I have had mine on my guitar for over 3 years and they are like new. Buy these strap locks today and never fear of dropping you guitar again!!

For me, these are a must-have. I automatically buy a set of these with every new instrument, and have them on every one I own! Easy to install and haven't failed me yet.

Nice and secure feeling now. Use them on my Beatle Bass with excellent resaults! A little hard to install on my Levy's Padded Leather strap, but well worth the effort and expense. Now I need to get some for my acoustic!

I dropped a Fender Stratocaster once, and vowed I would never do it again. A friend turned me onto these and I would never use anything else.

these locks hold well but they are soo awkward looking on my guitar, maybe its just cause mine is an lp, but they stick soo far out away from the guitar, almost unbalancing it, they hold well though, i trading them for shallers

After using Schaller straplocks on one guitar, I decided to give these a try. While they have yet to let me down, I personally feel these are less secure. The design places the center of weight further away from the body of the guitar, which means that there's a higher possibility of the screw snapping out of the body of the guitar. I also noticed that it is much more of a hassle to take the part that stays on the strap off of the strap (i.e.- to change straps) than with the Schallers. Not a bad product,but not the best out there.

I have a 1957 Gibson Black Beauty Triple Humbucker and I decided I needed to get some straplocks so I wouldn't loose my precious guitar. A week after i got them i was walking to change the volume on my amp and the locks failed leaving my beautiful guitar with major dents. It needed a 400 dollar repair at a local guitar shop. I would never trust these ever!

I have 2 sets of these straploks now. The only thing negative I have to say is make sure the straplok is fully locked into place before you let go of your guitar. I snapped one end in place, but I guess it hadn't latched. The guitar neck bounced off the floor (no damage luckily). Now I tug on the straplok every time I lock the strap onto the guitar.

with these strap locks you will never ever drop your guitar (if you have the strap on) now you can feel more comfortable trying to throw your guitar around your back! :)

Comments about Dunlop Dual-Design Straplok System:

These are really good strap locks. I had concerns about some other locks being accidentally unlocked. These have a recessed button that you have to push in, while at the same time pulling out on the lock. Won't come off accidentally. Nice. This is my third pair. Easy to change strap from one instrument to another.

I have had these on an Ibanez (first gen RG) for over 25 years and never once have they failed to hold or jammed up. Installation was easy enough for me when I was thirteen that I have never had to tighten or provide any maintenance to the unit. I have seen where others state they do not hold or they failed while walking maybe they got a hold of a bad unit. As for me I will be purchasing these to replace the Fenders (also five stars) that come undone with the slightest bump on my daughters Jackson. I was actually very surprised to see that dunlop still makes these after so many years, for me 25 years proven I wouldnt put anything else on my guitars.

I just bought these locks for my 1990 U.S. Telecaster. The supplied screws are larger in diameter than the stock screws. If you don't mind drilling slightly larger holes for the strap pins, then these locks are for you. However you can opt to use your standard screws and just change the pins only. That is what I did. The new pins; because of their design allow the standard screw to dig a little deeper into the body making for a very secure strap pin. If anything bad happens as a result of not using their hardware I'll re-post. So far everything is feeling very stable and secure.

I got a set of these a little over a year ago and they are the best investment for a guitar or bass you can ask for. It's easy to put them on and figure out how they work, the release button makes it fast and simple to take them off or put em' on. And when you put them on and in place they stay in place go get some and try them you will be glad and not have to worry about damage or breaking your instrument.

I have the brass locks, and they look great on my cherry SG. At first I was hesitant to install any strap lock system on my SG, as one of the buttons is located on the back of the body and I worried that it would dig into my stomach while playing but in reality they are just as comfortable and go unnoticed while playing. Installation is a snap (pun intended) and my strap is totally secure whether I am using it on my SG, tele or my Heritage. If you want that extra degree of security for your guitar while gigging, this is the nifty little chunk of metal you need.
