These things look great, but the screws seem to be smaller that most guitars are made with. If you want these, expect a trip to the hardware store.

I have had similar problems with these strap locks as other reviewers have noted. I bought the fire wheel model and love the decorative touch they add to my guitar, but the washers are very weak, and broke under normal wear and tear. I do not swing my guitar or go crazy on stage, I'm pretty easy on them, but they broke nonetheless. Also, the screws didn't match those on my strat, so I had to fill and redrill the holes with epoxy. That being said, I still like them and think I might buy the aztec model which should be stronger due to the increased mass of the washer.

Before I bought this Straplock, My little brother tried the Dunlop Dual-Design Straplok System. He hasn't had a problem with it, but my Les Paul is heavier than his Rogue SX100B. So I was looking for something that wouldn't extend off the body as much. This system is more compact and thats basically why I chose this one. I got the Straplock in Chrome Standard. I have also found out that it's much easier to take the strap off and put back on. However, the screws didn't fit so I had to modify my guitars srews and the strap button so it would all fit. I haven't had a problem with it yet, but I don't jump around or anything like that. It will definately protect my strap from falling off.

I put a lot of abuse and stress on my strap locks and have never had a problem with this. I bought the aztec one and it looks pretty cool, and looking cool is important. Anyway I would get it casue it looks cooler then those little chrome plain things. And nobody wants to look like eveyone elses strap lock.

I've been using these locks for a year now...and they work great.

They only problem is you have to be careful, because if you heavy a heavy guitar (like my BC Rich) and not a super strong guitar strap, these things will rip right through the strap and your guitar will come crashing to the floor.

All in all...one of the best things I ever got for my guitar.
