Schaller has introduced their new S-Locks Strap Lock system, a dramatically improved method for securing your guitar strap. Here Schaller have taken on and solved the few shortcomings the old straplocks had (too short thread for some thick guitarstraps, the nut coming off the thread once in a while, screw sometimes not fitting certain guitars etc) We can honestly say that this is now the ultimate straplock system!
