I am currently looking for strap locks to put on a Strat.
Could you suggest me some that works well and looks good?

Cheers

None of them look that good, IMO

But I like the Schaller's best.

Schallers, I'm never too bothered about other people checking at how my straplocks look, and they have never failed me.

i've used dunlop and schaller. both work great and i've never had a problem with either. the dunlops neede some WD40 after a while but that was it. If you are looking to put them on a strat keep in mind that the american fenders come with schallers (if you want to keep your guitar more 'authentic' i guess)

The Schallers work for me.

Schallers rock

They all look like **** IMO

I always recommend Schallers unless you want them recessed or have a tendency to forget your strap... in that case use Dunlops

1 Schallers

dimarzio cliplocks.. i like them! less bulky and just as secure!

failing that? yeah, schaller

go for schallers. But if you want a better looking ring on the strap try some from q-parts. They cost the saem but the holding ring is styled out a bit and the rest is the same like the schallers.

That's good to know - I've used Schallers for years, and never realized there are better-looking strap-side units for them.

I usually just buy black ones - they kinda disppear into the strap better. (Assuming the strap is black.)

Mechanically, I think the Schallers are best. Their design is such that gravity holds the guitar in the strap, and the quot;mechanismquot; simply allows it to be released. None of the fiddly mechanical bits are load-bearing. Germans.

Yeah, quot;pimpedquot; Schallers would be the right term....

I like the schallers... if you want a pair of Qparts i have a silver set. $15 shipped. They're brand new never used but i don't have the box.

dunlops have worked for me with no trouble whatsoever for the past 3 years.

1... they're obviously the most fool-proof design.

I was devoted to Dunlops for the better part of 15 years. I had a few malfunctions due to wear on the quot;malequot; end. After almost dropping a very expensive guitar due to a straplock failure, I switched to Schallers. The big issue with Schallers is to use Loc-Tite or clear nail polish to secure the nut to the strap end of the strap lock.

i like the look of schallers but dunlops are just as good too i just prefer schallers.

Schallers. Dunlops just look retarded IMO.

Schaller is what I've been using for the past 23 years. Never had any problems.

I have a set of Schallers on ebery electric guitar I own that is together and working. I was looking for Gold ones for my Performance, and I couldn't believe how hard they were to find. I almost bought Dunlops just to be done with it, but the Gold on the Dunlops look like cr@p. I'm glad I waited and got the Schallers, they look awesome and the Gold is gorgeous.

Schaller all the way. I also like that Gravity holds the guitar and the pin jsut keeps the strap from falling off... Much better looking than the Duct Tape we've all seen on those quot;grungequot; guy's guitars...
