D'Addario Planet Waves Auto Lock Guitar Strap

I got the black cotton strap. Feels really good quality. It’s soft. It’s comfortable. And I really like the locking feature! I’ve only had it a week or two so can’t speak on its durability yet. I got this strap for a Taylor acoustic but it won’t even connect to it. The strap connection on the guitar is on the bottom back of the neck and it’s too tight for the strap piece to slide over it. So that one is not an option. (see in pics) Then I tried it on an Ibanez acoustic. It connects on both sides, but the placement of the connections on the guitar make it to where the strap needs to twist and be put on face first at the neck. This strap does not allow you to put on backwards, so doesn’t work on that guitar either. (see pics) So, I ended up putting it on a Strat. Works and looks great! I think this strap is more for an electric than acoustic. So if you need one for your electric I would recommend this one. If you’re wanting one for an acoustic, this is not the strap for you. Maybe it will work on some acoustics, but didn’t work on the two I tried.

I am a petite person. This strap adjusts easily to accomodate a wide range of heights. It is well-made, soft and comfortable. A strap lock holder is attached at each end. The holder is cleverly designed and is so easy to attach. The stap will stay lock in place to keep your precious guitar safe. The strap can stay on your guitar and fits easily into the case. It has a beautiful color! I am so happy that I purchased this!!!

At first sight , the strap looks very ordinary. But when actually put it on (it clicks on easily) and can see how the area where it sits on your shoulder is DOUBLED (always use the doubled area for your shoulder). You go well dang, isn't this the best strap I've ever tried? I actually bought one of those super foam padded straps, (KLIQ supercell) which was pretty heavy at least 3x the weight of this one. My guitar is pretty heavy so I thought that would help, but actually I was totally wrong. By using a lighter strap, even though it was less padded my shoulders, neck and back are so much more comfortable! A big part of the pain is the weight, and taking off more than half a pound makes all the difference. My leg no longer falls asleep with the guitar now that I can sit with it, or stand with it for long periods of time and it feels great! Now not saying KLIQ is bad, but i think u must match the strap to the guitar. more weight on a heavy guitar=bad news. I'll see if I can use it on a light guitar, if not I'll throw it in the dungeon. The lock mechanism is great, there's no way the guitar will drop, at least it seems to be very good and the material is great. But anyways I'm really glad I got this strap, I'll likely get another one!

Extremely comfortable and easy to adjust

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.

Absolut zuverlässig als Gitarrengurt: Top Qualität, super Verarbeitung, genial effektives Design. Das rechtfertigt den Preis 👍

I have 4 guitars. Including a Chapmen, Ibanez, Yamaha and acoustic. It fits them all. Not modifications. The strap buttons all fit easily. Some slight movement after fitting, but very secure. One Strap to fit them all! Works a treat. Oh - I went for the 'Skater' Material. I'm glad I did. Nice a soft and unlikely to harm the surface of the guitar. Had a nice natural (cotton) quality about it too, and I suspect it will also age nicely in time.

Excelente calidad y si funciona el bloqueo automático. Buen artículo y a buen precio.

Toucher soyeux, confortable sur l'épaule. Le système de blocage est satisfaisant et rapide. Facile de changer de guitare et c'est plus économique de d'acheter et installer des strap-locks sur chaque guitare.

buon prodotto
