First post here, stumbled across this on page 4. I have actually been using this system for more than a few years and it works great. I've never backed a screw out , and I have been known to do the " around the world" stage move more than once( when I was much younger in my formative Malmsteen-showoff-teenage metal guitar hero days). If looks are a concern, then I don't recommend it, because it looks totally ghetto. But my axes usually end up "Frankenstien'd" anyway so it doesn't really matter to me(the couple of expensive axes mostly go unplayed and never gigged-they do sound great though). Tone is of paramount importance, looks are a distant second (seems to me SRV and EVH's main guitars looked like total pieces of **** too). My straps are usually those aforementioned cheapo Ernie Ball nylons, one per guitar is not a huge concern, just have to adjust the strap when putting in the case. My own main axe uses this system, which is a swamp ash parts caster with tone to die for. It also looks like crap, mostly due to my accidental "relic" job. Note to self : Do not assemble guitar unfinished, play for a month, then try to hand rub a varnish finish without cleaning the wood first. The finish will not stick very well to the areas where it comes into contact with your skin/clothes/whatever. But at least in didn't cover so well in the right places. Still looks like crap though, but I love it.
