Planet Waves D'Addario Auto Lock Guitar Strap - Acoustic & Electric Accessories - Easy to Use Locking Straps - Uses Existing Buttons - Polypro - Black

My favorite strap! Very comfortable and securely locks on. Easier and cheaper than putting strap locks on all your guitars. Combines the feel of soft leather with the quick adjustment of a nylon strap.

What a great strap!

Best strap on earth

It feels terrible to purchase a new guitar and then have to immediately remove the factory installed strap buttons and install some locking strap buttons. I am always concerned it will strip the wood inside the drilled hole and the new strap lock button will not tighten properly.I have also had some guitars that had sentimental value and I felt concerned modifying them in any way.This locking strap could be the answer for home use and maybe in a very calm performance environment.Positives:You can quickly pull on the plastic ring and hook the strap over a standard strap button. It will click into place and lock on the button.It is very convenient and overall works great. It's a pretty convenient option to have a locking strap without any modifications.Negatives:I cannot give this 5 stars for a few reasons.1. It is possible for this to accidentally unclick by having something catch underneath or around the mechanism and accidentally release the locking system. This has happened only a couple times so far and I was able to grab the guitar but if you cannot feel confident that it will work then it kind of defeats the purpose of a locking strap.2. For reason number 1 I would not recommend this for gigging / live performances unless you don't move around much.3. This is a minor issue and less common, but in some cases some guitars that have the front or back strap button located in an abnormal spot can cause an issue with the way the guitar naturally hangs from the strap. I added a picture of a Gibson SG where the front button is location on the back of the guitar and not on the end of the top cutaway like normal. Since the strap is desiged to only work the typical way you can not flip it around to connect it backwards on the front to prevent the strap from twisting as much and to keep the guitar better balanced.Conclusion:If you are trying to perform live or have a very expensive instrument I would opt for another option for added confidence that your strap will stay locked. It is a good idea but it is a bit overpriced for what it is. I wish it had some kind of additional security clip to stop the spring loaded locking ring from moving.Since a variety of low cost strap lock rings can be used to secure a regular strap to a regular button this strap kind of misses the mark.

Works great. I bought more for my other guitars

Love this strap. Not having to install strap locks is a game changer. You gotta try one if you haven’t.

Best strap I've ever had hands down

As a musician, I loved this new design after I broke my old one.
