The Schallers were first going back to the 80's or 90's, it is Fender that are the Schaller clones. The Schallers use to be exactly like the Fenders, until they improved them. Fenders are the old Schaller's. The Fenders first attempt at original strap locks were monstrous and cumbersome. The original Schaller's must have come off of patent or something.

im german so there might be a tidbit of bias lol but literally anything german made is top quality.. Why? idk but SennHeiser headphones,Schaller locks,tuners, No but all seriousness i prefer the horseshoe shape on the schaller as its more secure and in the i/1000000 chance the inner mechinism breaks its still being held by that!, Plus the new design of the S-Locks are updated to be more secure and tighter, but alot of people do love dunlop locks and swear by them, and there about 10-15$ cheaper!

This video would benefit from a section that shows how to safely enlarge the holes in a new strap, which I’ve had to do every time I buy a new strap and fit locks. It’s a very fiddly process (most people don’t have a leather hole punch of the right diameter sitting around) which, in my case, ends up with me cutting the leather with the end of a Stanley knife and nibbling away just enough material to accept the lock. Don’t cut away more than you need to.

My Schallers failed, tolerances wore after a few years. Luckily I caught the Les Paul neck with my foot before disaster. I use Dunlops now.

Dunlop are only locked in place by two little nubs that fit into the barrel on the guitar connector. If/when one of those little nubs fails, you’re screwed. Relying on those little nubs to hold all the weight of a guitar is risky. With the Schaller the guitar sits in the U shaped tray on the strap. If the small part inside fails, at least your strap is still in the tray. The Fender is a copy of the way Schaller used to make theirs.

I got the schaller ones after looking at them in the guitar center web. After i got them, i was told that they are the rave on the internet. I think they maybe a bit too detail to install. You need a 3 mm allen wrench, a very small flathead screwdriver…Dont you think?

Schaller screwed up by making the strap button and screw a single piece. You used to be able to use the stock screw when swapping them out... now you'll most likely be doing wood modification in order to use them.

Why wouldn’t you place the strap onto the guitar and then put the button on with the Dunlops? If the button were to break, the strap would remain on and the guitar wouldn’t fall on the floor. You’d also be able to get the strap closer to the guitar that way. Has anyone tried that?

Hi, thanks for the reviews. I bought a Fender strap lock set to go on my Fender Squier Jazz Bass and the screws that came with the set are smaller than what's on the Squier. I heard of people using toothpicks and such to rig the locks to work. I was wondering if you had the same issue with the Fender locks on your Fender bass? I don't know if there's a difference between American made and Indonesian made Fender basses. I just want a lock that will have the same screw size. Thanks for any help.

Be very careful installing the schaller locks to acoustic guitars. You can't remove the screw from the button and use the original screw, the supplied screw is too long. It is a problem with Taylor 814 guitars, it can result in damage to your guitar.

I find two things with all of these solutions. First, you need to swap out the stock button. Second they all stick way out from the body. I opt for the D' Addario which has a locking mechanism that accepts most standard stap buttons. My favorite was the Planet waves, which was one of the easiest to use. I can't see buying a system like this and retrofitting all my guitars if I want to use the same strap on them. Unless you're going to swing your guitar around your back, then by all means use the locks listed here. I'm not sure I would treat a guitar of any value that way though.

I used to love and be obsessed with the Dunlop Straploks for years but after a brand-new set failed and drop my guitar straight to the ground I'm never buying them again. Just seeing them on the video makes my heart skip a beat. Yeah, I know it might have been a faulty unit in like 10,000 that left the factory, but I don't care. If I pay for a product that is intended to lock my strap in place and I trust my very expensive/favorite guitars with it, I expect it to do its job and do it well, so failing one time only is really all I need. Anyway, my cat-like reflexes were, fortunately, quick enough for me to catch the neck of my favorite guitar right on time and avoid the tragedy about 3 inches from the floor, but I feel for those who may not get so lucky. So, since that incident happened my advice for all my fellow guitarists has been to ditch those Dunlop abominations out of your beloved guitars, and instead switch to Schaller S-Locks because the mechanism on those is designed in such a way that even in the remote possibility that it fails to lock the strap (something already pretty much impossible to happen because it is spring-locked tightly and strongly) it will still secure your guitar in place because of the way the lock connects to the guitar from below. You would only notice that it "failed" if/when you took off the strap yourself, basically. So, what this means is that with this straplock, your guitar is literally always secure and protected from a disaster, I mean even gravity itself is on your side and helping. A disaster just can't happen even if you wanted to and so it's absolutely perfect. Sorry for the rant, but friends don't let friends buy Dunlop Straploks. Stay safe and Rock on \m/

The new Schaller design all the way (not the old design like what Fender uses). I have these on all 30+ of my guitars and basses. Only have had issues with the Fender and old Schaller locks. The Schaller strap buttons are also superior as they make the bolt thicker and longer so it bites into new wood. The fender buttons get loose over time since the bolt is roughly the same size.

The fender strap locks are basically the old Schaller design. A major drawback (and potential danger) of this design the securing nut can come loose if you don't use some sort of thread locker and/or semi-regular tightening. Because it's one the outside of the assembly, when it does come off your guitar and nut both hit the floor. On a dark stage that means the nut is lost forever. Ask me how I know! BTW, the Ernie Ball superlocks are my personal favorite.
