Ernie Ball Super Locks Nikkel

So I have played guitar for many years and have only just started mucking in with some rhythm guitar in the band that I sing in. My lead guitarist suggested I needed these or risk a very expensive drop involving my original Les Paul Gibson and a solid wood stage floor.These were the ones I opted for. Super easy to install. The instructions talk about drilling holes but I simply unscrewed the existing strap clips from my guitar and screwed these ones in. They went in with no problem at all. The other end just screws onto your strap and you are good to go.Really handy for changing guitars whilst using the same strap. Plus your guitar is less likely to come away from the strap and end up on the floor.They look good too. I’m really happy with this!

I really like the simplicity of these locks and they look awesome. Remember they usually require the next size hole up to be drilled and then screwed in. Work a treat and super easy to swap guitars with favorite strap. Just wish i didn't have to buy the whole thing for the extra strap buttons :D

Love them

Just changed the strap buttons on my new Ibanez bass for a set of these. I wanted a set in black to match the other hardware on the guitar, but I think there is no justification for having to pay £5 more for black than the nickel chrome set. Other than fashion. Anyway, fitting them wasn't as straight forward as I'd thought. The screws supplied were longer and narrower than the Ibanez stock screws, which wouldn't go through the centre hole of the Ernie Ballbutton, so I had to use the screws supplied with the set. This mean't plugging the hole screw holes in the guitar body with some thin slices of wood, to make a tight fit. No problem with the depth of the hole, which seems to be about 10 mm deeper than necessary for the screws used by Ibanez. Also, I noticed that the original button on the horn of the body wasn't very tight. as the screw hole was too wide, so plugging it has been useful anyway. Ibanez aren't on their own with this, the same thing happened with my Fender Mustang: the button screw was loose in it's fitting due to the hole being too wide at the top, and had to be plugged.I really like these strap locks though as they lock with a positive feel, don't stick out 20 mm like the Schaller ones, and I have four sets now, which means I can swap straps around as I like, and I just don't trust the ones that the manufacturers fit to stay in place.Shame on the industry that there isn't a standard size of fitting for these, so they could all be interchangeable.
