Make sure you get Schaller's that are made in GERMANY, those are the only real ones. And when it comes to protecting your expensive instrument, yes, that matters. This is an interesting, albeit not extremely necessary twist on the old strap locks. Instead of needing a wrench to put on a nut, you have a disc that screws down tight. It has a little set screw to make sure it doesn't come off. As well, the threaded area is longer for thicker straps, and the strap button itself is one piece. Yeah, that's everything you've heard from marketing. If you're the type that cares about your guitar being as original as possible, you might be miffed that the strap button is one piece. That's right, the screw is incorporated into the button and requires a hex wrench to screw down. This is technically awesome. But what was better about the old buttons is you can use the original screw your guitar came with, thus not needing to affect the original cut in the guitar's wood. The new screw won't match exactly, sadly. That won't bother most people, but bothers me. I actually only bought a new set of strap locks just to get original buttons and have the locks as spares. The idea is cool and I'm not returning it or anything, but I'm going to have to buy Scahller-type buttons so I can use the original screw (Fender's knock off Schaller buttons should work fine). This new set is compatible with old Schaller hardware, btw. I imagine the main reason Schaller came out with this S Lock is to make it harder for Chinese companies to rip off of them. The old Schallers have been copied to infinity, taking away sales due to thrifty consumers, and this new design is actually quite a cool improvement that will take a while for Chinese copy cats to catch up on.Read full review

I recently purchased a new Gretsch guitar for my collection. As with all my guitars, I wanted to install strap locks to prevent the possibility of sending this beauty crashing to the floor. I purchased the latest version Schaller S-Locks and couldn’t be happier! Installation was simple, easy and only took a few minutes. This new design has a beveled locking pin, allowing straps to be put on without having to retract it first. Another great upgrade is the locks no longer “rattle” when you move. This is huge if you perform with higher amplification. Schaller locks have always been quality locks, but these are the absolute best! I highly recommend these locks to anyone wanting to enjoy their instruments without the worry of an unfortunate accident destroying your investment.

I have been playing bass guitar for over 30 years in working bands. I have used other brand strap locks but nothing beats the functionality of the Schaller locks. One nice feature is that your stock screws will fit through the Schaller hardware so you won't have to drill to accommodate their supplied screws like most other brands. Once you use these you will NEVER use a different brand.

I have a Fender Strat (used Fender strap locks which are rebadged Schallers), Gibson Studio and PRS2 Custom 24 and each has these strap locks. Simple to apply; just unscrew the originals and insert these. Then attach the buttons to your strap. My Strat has the chrome ones and the others have the nickel style. They are secure and look great.

The quality of the Schaller guitar strap lock never ceases to please me with its durability and built quality. I've throw my guitar around with my strap and I'm surprised that it never snaps. Glad to call myself a lifelong Schaller user and will not switch to a different brand.

Being from Schaller I was assuming I would put them on and forget about these in confidence but I have 2 sets and they don't like to spin freely. They bind on each other and the lock spins on the strap into a position I'm not expecting and then I have to reposition it on the strap. They do click together nicely and hold on very good. I thought the 1st was a fluke but 2 sets doing the same. I will purchase a different set next time.

Each of the components we see in the picture above came sealed in shrink plastic film. It was frustrating to remove. It took longer to free all the pieces from this ridiculous packaging than to install them on my guitar strap. While the female end pieces showed raised lettering spelling out 'Made in Germany' and the brand name 'Schaller' I have my doubts. Real Schallers come in a larger see-through plastic bubble pack. These pieces don't have the quality look of a real Schaller. I own several sets of Schallers so I know what to expect. Otherwise, these pieces installed without issues and have the proper appearance and function of Schaller strap locks.

Guitar strap locks. These are awesome. Took me a minute to find the set screw on the strap ends. I have Schallers on all my guitars, they have never failed me.

I really like the vintage old style Schaller straplock system in comparison to the new. The new style I think is too heavy & bulky. I own a few sets of the new style & a few times nearly miss hitting the straplocks on my instrument cuz of how heavy they are. I've been using the old style Schallers since 1980 up til they discontinued making them just a few years ago. It's too bad. So, whenever I see the vintage old style Schallers for sale, I buy 'em up.
