How the hell do you sew your strap on?

masterofdisaster 05-30-2006 10:59 AM

you take floss(or something similar) and you sew the hole so its smaller. if you want you can also take off the buttons and put the strap in between the buttons and the body. aes is right, they dont go anywhere

can someone with bottle cap or washer 'straplocks' post some pics? i don't see how it's the easiest thing in terms of removing the strap.
are there straplocks out there that will let me take my strap off in 5 seconds without having to unscrew the strap pins? because i put my strap on the actual strap pin, not the screw, meaning that the strap goes around the recessed part of the strap pin.

I tried putting straplocks on my epiphone les paul standard,
The schaller ones, and the pin was too small because the utter twat who owned the guitar before me put HUGE screws in it. so The smaller screw kept ripping out
So i went rummaging through my old toolbox and found Much bigger screws
but with the same size head as the schaller screws
And i screwed em in uber tight and now my strap is LOCKED FOREVER! MUhahahahahaa
AND when i was finding new screws i found this wierd screwdriver that can screw/unscrew screws that have been completly threaded. i used it on my old epi SG. i was like :O

It's my opinion that the Schaller straploks are the best. They have the best system, and very high quality.

Before that I had washers on one of my guitars for awhile, it worked alright, considering I didn't care about the looks of that guitar.

I like the grovers, they are so damn simple and they look badass.

I had the same problem when installing the Schaller's on my LP. I didn't even put the new screws in, instead I used the original screws out of the LP and sanded down the heads so the were smaller, then I had to bore out the straplock so the original screws would fit through.
