Yes. Loaf fasteners or plastic bread bag clips. By far the cheapest and easiest to install. :-D

My Suhr's Dunlop straplocks have failed me. One of the contacts slipped and my Suhr Modern fell to the ground. Now my guitar has several deep dings. It's so frustrating.

Ernie Ball Superlocks and Schaller are much better than Dunlop.
yung Schallers aren't failsafe din. you have to regularly check if the nut is still secure kasi thats the only thing holding your strap in place. but, yeah, they do feel sturdier than Dunlops.

Gamit ko GROVER sa superstrat. nabili ko kay sir R.Chino. so far so good, easy to retract and draw in.
HENNESSEY naman sa acoustic. both are best for me.

nawala yung washer and nut ng Schaller straplock ko.. nakahanap ako ng washer, stainless din medyo maliit lang compare sa orig. Pero yung nut parang walang pag-asa makahanap.. huhuh

I use both cliplocks and straploks, I like cliplocks more, when using straploks make sure to double check if its secured, sometimes it slips.

I'm now thinking about abandoning both Schaller and Dunlop locks, and then go back to the cheaper Dunlop Lokstraps.

I purchase Dunlop Strap lock last month and one of the contacts slipped very frustrating ‘’no return no exchange’’ charge to experience.

I got Dunlop strap locks. So far okay naman sila.

The button screws on guitars/bass are not standard, at least from my experience. Sa LP, iba size ng neck button screw sa bottom button screw, plus you have to drill a few mm's deeper sa neck button kasi maikli yung stock ng LP.

Try to do some research if you need to make adjustments depend sa guitar/bass mo.
