ALWAYS Verify Your Guitar Strap Ends Are NOT Twisted, And Use Strap Locks Just In Case

Always, Always, Always visually verify that your guitar strap is NOT twisted at either end, BEFORE you put the strap over your head, and hang the weight of the guitar on the strap.Show more

Your guitar strap ends will want to rotate around the peg almost every time you handle your guitar, and if you don’t verify (and correct) the strap ends, your guitar WILL drop out of the strap and it WILL hit the floor, probably while you are standing, and your guitar WILL be seriously damaged.

If you are lucky, and your left hand is on the neck, you might be able to catch the guitar as it falls out of the strap, but thats not a risk you ever want to take.

So, just develop some good habits, and make a small investment, and you’ll save yourself a lot of trouble and heartache.

Also, there are many strap lock devices available, so research them all and see what you think will work best for you.

Will you want to take your strap off frequently, to put the guitar in its case? Or will you probably just leave the strap on all the time?

I like the rubber washer style strap locks, because i seldom, if ever, take my straps off. They are cheap, easy to install, and they work well for me.

Strap locking devices are well worth the investment, and i would recommend making that small investment BEFORE you learn the hard way why strap locks were invented.
