Dimarzio Cliplock

[Adwex]

If those bug you, then cliplocks aren't the way to go. I usually play standing up or in front of my TV, so it's doesn't bother me. I never liked the "clingy" sound strap locks make

It doesn't bug me on my Ibanez, since I can put the guitar in the case with the strap still attached, so I never remove it. But on my Les Paul, I chose Dunlop straplocks instead because the strap has to come off to put the guitar in the form fitting case. I actually prefer the Dimarzio cliplocks, but can't use 'em on the Les Paul, 'cause when it ain't hangin' from my shoulder, it's in the case.

I prefer Schallers, as they are a direct fit on an EBMM guitar.

You sure about this?

radrock, do EBMM guitars use the silver or black screws/bushings?

Not sure, I can't remember if I use the EB screws or the ones that come with the cliplock. Whatever fits will work. I just know I have a bag of screws.

Yes, you use the existing EB screw and plastic washer, and replace the EB strap button with the Schaller one. Takes about 2 minutes to do!

Does anyone know how to shorten the Dunlop straps properly? Do you physically have to cut off some of the strap before re-stitching?

I got a local shoemaker to restitch the strap a bit higher up, but it's still the same length.

Do you mean dimarzio strap? You would have to cut off quite a bit. Think of it like this, even at it's shortest setting, it's too long, so cut off a foot and it will be a foot shorter at the shortest setting. You could still lengthen the strap from there. Make sense?

Yeh I meant DiMarzio

Thanks!
