ryeisnotcool2 Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 yeah they are nice ! you should check out what some silly guy did with them exact ones on his guitar this month for the contest! he is sooooo silly!oh and vote for him! just kidding, these are the ones i use for my "inlayed" strap locks, i had a special bit made so i could inlay them with a perfect fit so they dont move. it works great! when you screw them to the guitar i personally think they suck monkey balls! you have no idea how many basses and guitars i had to fix because there is so much leverage from the strap that it bends the screw or worst yet it sometimes breaks! thats why i created my idea of reccesing them into the body, this way it looks freakin cool and it will never break or bend!

Snork Posted December 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 inlayed strap locks...... interesting. guess u could put like a button on top and inlay that. nice idea. too much metalworkin though at such a crucial point of yer guitar. yoy cant mess up cause yer guitar goes withit, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 i think he means he sunk them into the guitar.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 thats why i created my idea of reccesing them into the body, this way it looks freakin cool and it will never break or bend! Actually a few others beat you to it. I first saw it an a LAGG. And Dan Earlwine has a section on installing them this way in his book "how to make your electric guitar play great" I guess the only downside is that you're "Locked" into this system once you install it this way. -Sven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snork Posted December 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 yeah my idea for the straps was to have a screw on but indented into the guitar "jem jack" style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren wilson Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Dunlop actually has a model of strap locks specifically designed for recessed mounting. I tend to prefer Schaller strap locks. They just feel more secure to me than those ball pins. But i do have to admit that i love the look of the recessed strap locks. Just don't forget your strap!

ryeisnotcool2 Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 yeah ive installed them on a j-bass once, they dont have the beveled edge to them they are just like a round drum, i couldnt find them anymore though, everywhere i looked i just found the other style, but they are what i like, i use the shcallers on my prs, just cause i dont want to drill it out, lol that will kill the value!

Rand-O-Monium Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 My Blackmore strat has the recessed Dunlops,they actually do seem to work better without the "stress" on them. Wish I could put 'em on everything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
