Has no one ever used the big pink rubber things that are on the large Grolsch bottles as strap holders?

You could probably use any rubber washer as long as the ID isn't too big.

It's almost a ritual now. Before every gig I whip out the Phillips screwdriver and ensure that the strap buttons are cranked on good and tight. I'm not about to drop my guitar if I can help it!

I do the same every time I play--most of my guitars are fine that way--but I still check.

I have set of them and must admit I have not had a problem so far. However on account of them being light plastic, I would be al ittle weary.

Can someone recommend something stronger and perhaps a little more permanent?


I've heard of guys using washers and quarters they've drilled holes in and the they get attached directly to the guitar so the strap is on the guitar all the time.

I've got a set of the Dunlop ones on one of my guitars and they definitely do the job... but not as nice as schaller ones.

That's what I use and now I won't use anything else. I bought a set of the dunlops and didn't like how far the strap was from the body so I started useing the rubber washers and haven't looked back.

Those cheesy Dunlop sliding plastic things are positively great for when you do not have a set of real Straplocks on your guitar and strap.
