All user reviews for the Schaller Security Lock

I use the Schaller Straplock for several years. They are mounted on my Jazz Bass, Stratocaster and a Yamaha bass. I also installed these on a strat Straplock of 1981 and Squier, 1982. They are made in Germany.

In my case, I never had a problem with these straplocks. I never had any problems either with screws or a problem of wear etc. ...

On the practical side, these are very reliable straplocks, even if the system works well, the U shape that your guitar is kept (they are people who have installed the U upside: bravo les gas, it seems logical! !).

<strong>
Tip:</strong></span> - always keep your strap on your guitar, do not remove it ever like that, you avoid the "wear out" the system (if there's wear).

-Furthermore, before playing, make sure your Straplock are well covered, so, its save me hear some say that the strap loose. Do not be afraid, it is normal that any system, in time to deregulate (the case of your rope, handle, or straplocks of your brain).

-For the screws, re-use the screws that came with your instrument, what I did on my Jazz Bass, my Yamaha, my strat etc. ... it avoids many problems with the screws, the diameter of the holes etc. ...
For the price (about 12 €), the price / quality ratio is very good. Me, I'm happy, and without hesitation, I would buy.

I use it (only!!) For 3 months ... how did I could do without it before!?
That's cool, it holds, we can twist his guitar or take ds positions not possible without fear: a freedom! Especially on my home that has a Mockingbird a little "bias" in the Horn multimdia, which has the effect of the strap a little wiggle and it can sometimes be a false move with Detach (users SG, V or Flyng Mockingbird understand me!) But to clear the scene, it's essential! And they are very much the case, making use of less expensive for a quality equivalent to those 25-30 (j'hsitait at beginners with Erniball 25, the only thing as changing dclipser In the way of the locks).
Installation is quick and easy! But beware, as with any strap locks, screw provided may not always be the same diameter as the hole, but GENERALLY the screw is larger in this case is no problem regrooved screwing me, I was lucky c'tait exactly the same diameter!
So I would do without hesitating that choice, I also likely to take over for my 2nd guitar!
Ah what is the price for a 15 chromium, 18 blacks (the ones I use) and 21 the gold

I use it for 6 years.
(Since my bass made a mchante fall on the floor because the strap fixed silent evil ...)

+ What I like:
is its System. It really inspires confidence, I think I can do anything with the guitar or bass: never detaches the strap does!

What I like -:
Its price ... the era I pay 2.5 times the price of Warwick ...

I also availing oneself of Straplock and Dunlop Warwick home

Is what I would do this choice:
No and it simply because of price.
I chose the Warwick team almost all my basses and guitars.
It must be said: the warwick really inspire less confidence than Schaller!

Technical:
The systm is DIFFERENT for each straplocks: Schaller must be shot at a stem for free while in the strap and Dunlop Warwick have to push ...
However, it would (conditional ^ ^) easier accidental free strap systm with it ... (But has never happened to me!)

In comparison: Schaller and Dunlop are approximately the same price ... So I chose the eyes closed Schaller.
The Warwick is 2 times CHRE.
Question: do they take into 2fois worse? - Answers to: No ...

I recommend this product, it is probably the most sr's march ... but it does justify the price?
(And since I'm stingy I put only 8 ^ ^)

For how long have you been using it?
- The rst pair I bought in 1999 I think at the same time as the EPIPHONE LP, the 2nd pair I've made the offer in 2006 with the purchase of my RGX420S

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
- I had other Shaller who do not deserves this dsignation. I caught my flight several guitar until the day o the tie broken adfinitas which resulted in the purchase of the product that is much more reliable.

What is the specific feature you like best, the least?
+ If you have a strap for 2 guitars change is really super fast there's no photo
- When the guitar is rocking the tie would tend creak / squeak a bit but it really is to find a minus.

How do you report qualitprix?
With exprience, you do again this election? ...
- One does not regret buying it and redo it if necessary (even a guitar in my collection .... I may be good)

No

What thing do you like most/least about it?

Please do not be too thick strap, otherwise it can be very galley or impossible to screw the fastener on the strap ...

# What is your opinion about the value for the price?
# Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

Frankly, for the price (8.90 €), do not hesitate, since I have it, my guitar has never stalled, but hey I'm not upset that jumps around either ... but my bass player, he has much more on the move and at home either, she has never taken down ...
For me it was very simple to assemble: remove the hooks dema original Les Paul, put in place the sucrity locks, mount on the strap and other parts of hooks (which go to clip on those mounted on the instrument The always blocked by a group that really unlikely to part ...), and voila
Be careful though as I was lucky: the vis security locks were almost the same as that of my Les Paul, but on some instruments, the security lock screw is found smaller than the original fasteners, so it AC is the game does not screw into the wood, and the system loses its reliability ..... avoid the trick of stuffing the hole with paper mache or match, according to my luthier is more bad than good in the long term ... The best way is to drill a bigger hole (but really bigger than the original, and insert a pin to pierce through it ... then fill in the ankle appropriate diameter hole for the screw acueille security locks ... if it feels not to do, do not hesitate to consult a luthier who will do it in 2 shots ladle for almost nothing or nothing at all ... ..

How long have you been using it?

No

Which feature do you like the most / the least?

Pay attention to the thickness of the strap: if it's too thick, you'll have problems attaching it, it might even be impossible...

# How would you rate its value for money?
# Based on your experience, would you buy this product again? ...

Considering the price, don't hesitate it. My guitar has never fell down ever since I have it. The same applies to the bassist of my band who moves a lot...
It was very easy to install: I just had to unscrew the original pins of my Les Paul, screw the security locks, attach the other piece to the strap and that's it.
Watch out: in my case, the security lock screws were almost the same as the pin screws of my Les Paul, so I had no problems. But it is possible that they are much shorter, in which case they won't be tight enough and the system will lose its great reliability... In which case, don't try to fill up the hole with wood paste or matches: my guitar tech says it's not reliable in the long term. The best solution is to drill a much bigger hole and fill it with a fitting plug. Afterward, drill directly into the plug with the right diameter. If you are not sure if you can handle this on your own, just ask a guitar tech to do it for you: for such a job, he will charge almost nothing...
