"So if you decide to use this for an acoustic you may want to consider moving it to a more ergonomic spot on the heel of your guitar."
"good old Schaller locks, I don't trust my guitars to anything else."
"The screw that actually goes into the guitar is thinner than the OEM And makes me question the security of its hold."
"Only downside is that the bolt that goes on the strap is wider than most strap holes so you have to make a hole in your strap to fit the lock snugly."
"The strap just snaps right on."
"They are holding fine, but look a little strange because they stand off the bass a little higher than the normal strap studs."
"One problem I encountered with my Fender acoustic bass was that they provided a normal strap button at the top, but at the peg end they used a traditional plastic peg, matching the bridge pins."

"One caveat, the supplied screws are wood screws, Ovation uses an insert molded into the fiberglass bowl, that accepts a machine screw."
"They lock in securely and I feel comfortable that my guitars are safe from hitting the floor."
"I also put on new Felt Washer made by Fender which I bought on Amazon too. I installed the Reliece Part on a Walker & Williams Learher Strap."
"I really like the thicker leather straps which can be difficult to pull on and off the instrument and doing so makes the connector less and less secure."
"I got a D'Aigle slider strap to use for the autoharp. If not for the slider strap and the strap retainers, I would not have even tried to play the autoharp."
"I installed it on my MIM Strat (~'98) without having to pre-drill because the screw that comes with the set is a bit longer than the stock screws that comes with the Strats."
"No guitar should be without some sort of strap lock system, Dunlop is the best!!"

"They also work great for guitars...as long as it's not a huge chunk of lumber, like a Les Paul...then, you might want something a little wider."
"As they say, this is a $5 strap all day long."
"I recommend leaving the strap on the guitar at all times as too not wear out the leather holes."
"But I can see that if longer than an hour or so, it does press hard into the upper shoulder where the neck meets."
"Nothing fancy, but if function over fashion is your gig - this is your strap."
"The slits in the leather fit tautly over the guitar's strap buttons. I fell out of love with this strap because the part where the leather met the nylon was a bit rough and scuffed the finish on my guitar right around the strap button."
"A passable strap should at least prevent a guitar from falling out of its loops."
