Imiss85 Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 So I added Schaller strap locks to my new LP, thinking I'm doing a good deed to myself. I've used them on all my other guitars with zero issues. On my LP, the Bass side keeps coming undone ( the strap lock on the strap comes undone from the piece on the guitar). Anyone else have these issues? Is it because of the weight on the guitar, or do I have a bad strap button? the part on the strap has been good on all other guitars, but on my LP it keeps coming undone.
serial Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 I often had issues with the Schaller locks although some people swear by them. I was swearing AT them too often. Of course this comes within about three days of suddenly having problems with one of the locks (the strap part with the little bearings) on a set of Dunlops...Maybe there's something to that EVH dog chain thingy.
silentman Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 I've had no problems with my schallers. How are you placing the "cup" on the strap? I always put mine on so the guitar's weight is in it, not upside down with the open part of the cup facing down.
Nathan Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 Ditto on the "cup" thing. Nevertheless, I am an avowed Dunlop convert after buying a guitar with them already installed. So mush easier to deal with, and they'll work in a pinch if I need to use a strap that doesn't have the corresponding mate attached. Wouldn't try that with those Schaller nubs.
Imiss85 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Posted August 31, 2005 The cup is probably a little sideways, so I'll try moving it. My other three guitars (Blitz, strat and a tele) I've never had this problem with. Not sure why this one is giving me so many fits. I'm also going to try to oil the inner of the strap side to see if maybe its not catching all the way. Thanks for the replies.
