Ok my Epi Les Paul with pro line strap locks was working fine. Then one day the screw of the one closest to the back fell out. Is there any way to fix it? Liike with wood putty then put the screw back in? Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks

well if it just fell out the hole is most likely stripped, you could just drill a new hole just to the side of the old one make sure it's the right size but that should do the trick

That’s exactly how I fixed mine and it worked great and have not had any issues with it for over two years so far….used the Elmer’s putty with the saw dust in it… filled the hole and put screw with strap button on it in place… let dry a good week to make sure it was dried all the way through…… BINGO was his NAME-O


Cheers
Bill

Wrap your wood screw in a few turns of toilet paper and put white glue on it. Toilet paper "becomes wood" when ot dries. After all, that's what it started as....
