I recently got a new EBMM Majesty and wanted to put strap locks on it. The only issue I’ve had with finding any is the snug fit with the Majesty’s case. I’ve seen raving reviews on the EB Super Locks but they look way to tall to be able to fit into the case. I keep the guitar in it when it’s not in use so it’s imperative whatever I go with fits.
So I guess my question is are the Super Locks able to fit inside the case, and if not, what other alternatives would?

Are you storing the guitar in the case with the strap attached? I don't remember the super lock buttons sticking out much more than the stock buttons.
I haven’t bought any locks yet, I’m asking if the super locks fit in the case before I make a decision.

Depending on how easy the locks are to disassemble, I may or may not take the strap off.

I don't recall 100% but I think the answer is "no" they don't fit in the case when on the guitar. BUT the strap comes off really easily when you need it to. There are two buttons on either side of the top, you just squeeze 'em and pull. It's just super convenient and way better (IMHO) than other designs.

BTW, the strap blocks are always an option too. Strap Blocks

My .02 cents. I wouldn’t want to risk the strap rubbing up against the guitar and causing unwanted marks, indentations, or scratches on the body of the guitar. So I’m not sure I see a real point or benefit of having the locks regardless of brand attached to the guitar without the strap also attached to the guitar. I would store those in the side compartments of the case, or better somewhere else where there is little risk for them to bounce around in the case.

If you want to leave the strap on the guitar then the locks will not fit in the case. It is incredibly easy to put the strap on/take off, and is as fast or faster than DiMarzio cliplocks, Schallers, Planet Waves...

I am not a fan of leaving the strap on the guitar while in the case/gig bag.

The benefit of the locks is that your strap ends don't wear out at the hole and suddenly pop off the guitar while playing.
