From the moment I installed the Jim Dunlop Strap Retainer on my guitar, its unobtrusive design and durable construction became apparent. The retainer's discreet presence ensures that it doesn't interfere with the aesthetics of the guitar or hinder playing comfort. The reliable build quality assures me of its longevity, with the durable materials withstanding the rigors of live performances and regular use.
The standout feature of this strap retainer is its quick-release mechanism. The button mechanism effortlessly detaches the guitar strap from the instrument, allowing for swift transitions between songs, instruments, or even quick adjustments during rehearsals and performances. This simple yet effective innovation eliminates the need for traditional strap locks or complicated maneuvers, streamlining the process of securing and releasing the strap.
The Jim Dunlop Strap Retainer's ease of use is particularly impressive. The button is strategically positioned for easy access, making it intuitive to operate even during fast-paced playing. This user-friendly design not only saves time but also enhances the overall stage presence by reducing downtime between songs.
Additionally, the strap retainer's compatibility with various guitar strap widths adds to its versatility. Whether you prefer a narrow or wider strap, the retainer accommodates different styles seamlessly, making it a suitable choice for a range of guitarists.
The retainer's unobtrusive nature and straightforward installation process further add to its appeal. With minimal adjustments required to the guitar, you can enjoy the benefits of quick and secure strap release without compromising the guitar's aesthetics or structural integrity.
In conclusion, the Jim Dunlop Strap Retainer is a game-changer that revolutionizes the way guitarists interact with their instruments. Its quick-release mechanism and user-friendly design redefine convenience and practicality, making it an essential tool for musicians seeking to optimize their stage presence and performance experience. Whether you're a professional guitarist or an enthusiastic hobbyist, this strap retainer offers a simple yet transformative solution that enhances both your playing and your connection with your instrument. With its seamless functionality and discreet presence, the Jim Dunlop Strap Retainer has earned its place as a must-have accessory for any guitar setup.
I must say I was less than enthusiastic about the idea of drilling into my guitar to install these as they old screws were a different size and I definitely didn't want to force them in and risk cracking the wood, so they sat with my guitar stuff unused for a couple weeks. Once I finally installed them though, I can say for sure that they are definitely quality locks. Installation was simple enough. You simply drill a hole, screw in the strap button, and assemble the other piece making a sandwich of washers around your strap end with a u shaped piece that holds everything together. It was a bit of a pain to get on, but acceptable for a one time deal.
Past that, you simply press a button in on the strap piece to put the strap on or take it off. After using it for a good month, it has always felt very solid and never shaky, but the strap always comes off easily when you want it to.. The button is also recessed a bit so it seems unlikely you'd press it accidentally. The only problem I can imagine is the little nub that locks the strap end into strap button wearing down over time and slipping but I haven't seen any problems with it as of yet.
On a minor note, the strap button you put on the guitar is also a normal shape and looks as though it would work as a standard strap button if you ever were using a different strap than the one you put the lock on.
All in all, it is a great, solidly built product.
I don't know how a guitarist can live without one of these.
The instructions mention drilling the guitar. I am assuming this is for a guitar with no existing strap buttons as I installed these on both a strat and les paul using the existing drill holes and they were fine. Don't forget the felt washer between the bottom of the mount and the guitar itself.
Note that installing the 'c' clip can be a pain. All 'c' clips are a pain so don't blame the product. I myself used my leatherman pliers to pop the clips on (and dropped them a few times trying). A higher quality of strap usually means a thicker strap which will make this thing hard to clip. TRUST ME, it will work.. just keep trying.

Die Vorteile des besagten Dunlop Straplock Systems:
Kein lästiges Klappern der metallenen Gurtschlösser,da die Verbindungen faktisch exakt aufliegen. Der Dunlop Schließmechanismus läßt sich sehr leicht durch das Gurtloch schieben. Dieses System ist genial!
Falls die zwei Gitarrengurtenden mal nicht mit dem originalen Schließmechanismus versehen,bzw. verfügbar sind,ist es auch problemlos möglich die Dunlop Gurtpins an der Gitarre mit einem Gurt,der nur die üblicherweise vorgestanzten Löcher besitzt,zu benutzen. Die robusten Dunlop Gurtpins sind konisch geformt,und erlauben es durchaus auch mit einer normalen Gurtlochung zu funktionieren,falls ein montierter Gurt mit Schließsystem mal eben nicht vorhanden ist. Der breite konische Dunlop Gurtpin wird dann einfach durch das vorhandene Gurtloch übergestülpt. Es ist dann jedoch nicht so optimal gesichert,wie mit dem vormontierten Dunlop Schließmechanismus,hält aber wenigstens wie ein normaler Gurtpin,da der Dunlop Gurtpin breit genug ist. Es ist aber wie schon bereits gesagt,nur eine Option,der vollständig umfassende Schutz,um die Gitarre sicher am Gurt zu befestigen,ist nur bei korrekter Montage sämtlicher beigelegter Original Teile gewährleistet! Mein Tipp: falls die vorgebohrten Löcher im hölzernen Gitarrenkorpus für die Gurtpins bereits ausgeleiert sind,genügt es,einfach ein abgelängtes und leicht gespaltenes Streichholz (gerne aus Kastanienholz und ohne Zündkopf!) oder einen auf die Länge zugeschnittenen Zahnstocher in das jeweilige Loch zu stecken,damit das ausgeleierte Loch wieder gefüllt ist. Dieser kleine,aber effektive Trick ermöglicht sofort wieder einen besseren Halt der Schrauben,und man erspart sich den ünnotigen Kauf einer speziellen teuren Holzpaste!
Wichtig: Bitte unbedingt bei der Dunlop Straplok Montage an den beiden Gurtenden darauf achten,daß die 2 beigelegten Sicherungsringe (so genannte Sprengringe) stets korrekt einrasten! Die genaue Montage der Sicherungsringe ist sehr wichtig,weil nur dadurch gewährleistet ist,daß das Schließsystem auch optimal funktioniert! Folglich müssen die Sicherungsringe bei der Montage (siehe Fotos!) bis zum Anschlag in die vorgesehene Nut geschoben werden. Der Sprengring darf sich dabei aber noch leicht um die Achse drehen,dies ist absolut unbedenklich und technisch so vom Hersteller konzipiert.
Resümee:
Die originalen Dunlop Straplok Sicherheits Gurtpins sind sehr solide und wirklich sauber verarbeitet. Die Handhabung ist bei korrekter Montageanleitung sehr einfach. Mein Fazit: dieses Sicherheitssystem ist de facto das mit großem Abstand beste Produkt,das derzeit auf dem Markt erhältlich ist!
Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist zweifellos absolut fair! Volle 5 Sterne in der Gesamtbewertung!
Unbedingte Weiterempfehlung!
