D'Addario Dual-Lock Strap Lock

I got 10 to cover my 8 guitars and have some hot spares. I wanted it mainly as Cable Holder and secondarily as Strap Locker. They fit all well to all kind of my guitars, LesPaul, Strat, Tele. The fact that it catches exactly at the "button" of the instrument and not at the strap, as other "dedicated cable holders" do, is very convenient for me. Being a dual-practicality item, Strap Locker AND Cable Holder AND also at this price is a Win-Win purchase for any guitarist (at least an amateur like me, I don't know what the on-stage ones are doing). Thank you D'Addario.

Good one

One of the plastic t-ends that fastens it to the tag was broken. The Amazon packaging was sealed, so it was lost during packing. The strap lock is excellent.

Dissapointed as material type is not metal as indicated in the spefication and i received only one not pair as indicated.

Excelente producto. Cumple su función al 100%

Questo blocca cinghia e cavo jack per chitarra acustica, elettrica ecc. e' in metallo, quindi solido e affidabile. La marca D'Addario e' comunque una garanzia! Sono soddisfatto e consiglio l'acquisto.

The strap locks are called Planet Waves, but the packaging and strap locks are actually branded D'Addario - the parent company. Tested with a Squier Strat (14 mm diameter strap button), Epiphone Les Paul (14 mm diameter strap button), Gibson Les Paul (15.3 mm diameter strap button), PRS Custom 24 (15 mm diameter strap button). Worked on all of them, even when combined with a very thick leather strap. Very nice indeed. By comparison, the twist-style Dunlop strap lock could only work with a thin strap on the Strat or Epiphone, but not the others. Hole for the strap button to go into is 16.4 mm wide, but the button then needs to fit into a cup with a diameter of 15.5 mm (so 15.5 mm is the maximum diameter of your strap button). Hole for the strap button's neck is 9.3 mm (so that is the maximum width of the neck of your strap button - the part where the strap sits). This means that it will even work with some electro-acoustics where the jack and strap button are combined, but you will need to measure the neck of your button to make sure that yours is narrow enough. (This also sets the minimum width of the strap button, but that measurement is more complex, since it would need to be the width between one side of the button's neck, and the far side of the button's head. Quite simply; very few standard strap buttons are small enough to be a problem.) Plastic is 1.7 mm thick, so you need that much free space for it to fit between the strap and the button head. If you want to use it for holding a guitar cable, the cable slot is 6.4 mm wide at its narrowest point, so that's the maximum diameter of the cable. A 7 mm thick cloth-covered cable could be forced through with difficulty, but any thicker and it would cause the clip to remain open, allowing it to unclip from the guitar. Easy enough to fit with thin straps. Needed a bit more care to fit it with a thick leather strap (but even coped with a large, padded strap). Easier to use than the Dunlop twist style strap lock, and cannot accidentally be twisted off either. With thicker straps, it can press the leather strap onto the guitar finish, and over time may cause rubbing. Locks very well, not brave enough to test swinging the guitars over my head, but it doesn't feel like it could ever come off by accident, so it's much better than the Grolsch-style rubber washers. However, it is important that you keep the wire-slot side of the clip facing down towards the ground when you are holding the guitar; away from the guitar strap (the direction it would naturally be if you have a cable going through it). If you rotate it the other way up (so that the wire slot is aimed upwards towards your shoulder), then pull the guitar strap outwards, the stress from the strap gets put against the wire slot, which can cause it to unclip. Attached a picture to show this.

These D’Addario Dual-Lock Guitar Strap Locks are fantastic. The design is simple yet highly effective—perfect for band rehearsals or live gigs without worrying about your guitar falling. The best part is the smart, straightforward design: no screws, no drilling, just snap it on and you’re good to go. And the price is definitely a highlight, making them a very affordable option. Overall: reliable, easy to use, and excellent value for money. 100% recommended.

Çok kullanışlı ürün kesinlikle fiyat ve kalite olarak tavsiye ederim. Tek dikkatli olunması gerekn şey askısız kullanmayın az da olsa gitarı çizme ihtimali var.
