2 EFFECTIVE and CHEAPER straplock alternatives.
In this video I show 2 alternatives (Grolsch straplock & flat metal ring/washer) after showing an official branded one, both alternatives are CHEAPER and in my opinion MORE EFFECTIVE. Apologies for my sometimes lacking english. The only reason I can think of to use expensive straplocks would be to use one strap with multiple guitar, which on itself seems unpractical to me because you would have to change the length of the strap everytime. If you’re like me and have a strap for every guitar which will never have to come of, DON’T BUY EXPENSIVE STRAPLOCKS.

You won’t need to wrap the strap around the headstock on an electric.
well i have dunlop flush mounted strap locks and it sticks out less then a standern strap button and only 20 dollars to buy not much at all
Brilliant!
Fender washers bro! What a fitting name for a piece of hardware!
I know excellent band, they sound so unique and unlike any other band
“Beer is also a good thing.”

Hi, could you rephrase your post? I’ve read it a couple of times now but I can’t make any sense of it, try using a bit more interpunction. That way more people might be able to help solve your problem.
some one plz tell me i was playing my acoustic guitar (washburn) high Quality my brothers he gave it to me i had a strap on it and a shoe lace around the head under the string and the metal bit its plactic on this guitar which the strap goes on which is on the back. it pulled out but i caught the guitar and im was wonder would this ever happen to my first electric guitar because im getting it for my birthday soon and it Medium quality (CORT Z42) Some one plz respond
Just so everyone knows…Gibson endpins, at least on basses, are too thin and long for the Grolsch seals to work on them. They slip off way too easy and do not close around the endpin. I shall try the washers tomorrow. How have people’s results been for the washers?
I tried this with Bernard beer bottles and the tops wouldn’t break. How’d you remove the plastic/ rubber washer?
nice..very useful )
awesome tip! maybe in your next video you should crank that guitar through that little orange amp at the end! thanks bro!
i love how your guitar is damaged
Oh jawel hoor, die werken dan ook wel. Hangt meer van de breedte van de strapbutton af, als het ‘hoedje’ van de button lekker breed is; is het moeilijker om het grolsch rubbertje eraf te halen (en dat is dus goed nieuws!).
Ja dat zal ook wel ja , maar nog even over de straplocks , de grolsch rubbertjes werken dus alleen goed als je geen dikke gitaarband gebruikt en geen zware gitaar hebt ?
fisheye’s maken alles ook groter hoor :-p
