Members Vytas Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have googled and searched and can't find anything about this. Any guitar strap you buy has a small diameter hole in it. On an acoustic electric with an endpin jack, the strap has to be forced onto the strap button and it barely is on there. I am a bit worried about this. I was thinking of unscrewing the button off the post, putting the strap on the threaded post and screwing the button back on. But as I put on or off the guitar, the button will unscrew itself. Is there a product that accomodates for both a strap button, a strap lock, and an endpin jack? Or do I have to invent something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members missedmyexit Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 Interesting.. I have a strap lock on my strat (Replaces the original strap buttons with a locking system) but I haven't seen one for acoustics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this same thing with the endpin jack on my guitar. I thin the idea is that the electric guitar cord jack is supposed to help but what if you want to use the strap unplugged?... I now see this product by Jim Dunlop that Crab_Cake mentioned....looks good...I'll have to get a few. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vytas Posted March 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 Well, I must admit it looks like a fine little device, but I'm not sure what it does from that picture. A triangular plastic device with a hole in it? Maybe it is the long day of work but I don't get it. How does this work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members melandy Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 I use a Strapkeeper from Tapastring. Works great for me. -A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members halmot Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 I had to cut the slot just a bit longer in the strap to get it to fit over the endpin jack. I just leave the strap on all the time, and although it is pretty secure, it would be nice to have a quick-release straplock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rjoxyz Posted March 25, 2008 Members Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have the same Dunlop device, but on some guitars, there is not enough room on the jack for both the strap and the lock. I recently bought a couple of these and they work great in such cases: http://www.tapastring.com/strapkeeper0605.htm OOPS--I see melandy beat me to it!

Members DeepEnd Posted March 26, 2008 Members Share Posted March 26, 2008 You rotate the tabs and the opening gets bigger. You put it on the button outside your strap, cam it back to a smaller opening and Viola! No more close calls (or worse.) . . . Not to be pedantic but a viola is a musical intrument. Voila (pronounced vwa-la) is a French word that means "see," like when it says "lo and behold" in the Bible. A columnist for a local (St. Louis) computing monthly once spelled it "walla" so yours isn't quite the most egregious example I've seen but it's still annoying.

I have a bunch for electrics, but they don't work on any of my acoustics. It just doesn't seem to work with end pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Qengho Posted August 25, 2008 Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 Another vote for the Strapkeeper. I tried the Dunlop triangle first but it's too small for an endpin jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the Dunlop triangle first but it's too small for an endpin jack. looks like a solid device. but i have no problem with this end. i DO have a strap holder for the front end. when i twist and shout, long ago my geetar always used to come off the front peg.

Members Kap'n Posted August 25, 2008 Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 The red rubber washer from a Grolsch bottle works. Inexpensive, and you get to drink the beer, too. Or a similar washer obtained from the hardware store. Which isn't nearly as fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
