Good quality
German quality and worth the price even if that seems a bit high compared the copies out there. They have made the screw one piece with the button as opposed to 2 pieces, plus you will need an hex/allen key to screw them in. Also be aware that the screw thickness is a bit bigger than the previous models so you may need to widen the hole on your guitar/bass a bit first a little to avoid finish cracking. The latch that goes on your strap are a big improvement over the older version with a tiny set screw to hold the second piece in place, the old ones would come loose after a while but these will remain there until you want to remove them. They come in a fancy box which I am sure is not needed and they could do with supplying the allen key. Buy with confidence a very good product for sure.

Fits perfectly on a Gibson Les Paul
I searched if this would fit a Gibson nicely or if it would require for the original strap hole to be widen and couldn't find much information. The screws on my Gibson were nearly 4mm wide and the Schaller locks that come in this pack are 4mm.
I did not have to force the screws in, it was an effortless task altough I suspect that the original screws might not be as grippy as they were if I ever put them back on, for re-sale purposes.
In short, you do not have to widen your original strap holes with any kind of tool if your buying for a Gibson Les Paul as the screws are nearly identical. Do be aware that Fender and PRS stock strap screws are thinner as I have one of both and they seem more like 3,5mm rather than the Schaller 4mm.

Great strap locks!
The new version of Schaller's S-locks is now even better - more practical, secure and quiet. Both components are interchangeable/compatble with Fender's locks, while radius of the screw itself is a bit bigger than Fender's (some attenton is needed, when screwing to Fender guitar and you should grease the screw with hard soap). RECOMMENDED!

Sturdy and Safe
Super easy to install. A cheap but immensely valuable upgrade to any guitar. Personally, I really like this system. No cons worthy of note.

Just what you expect
Once installed, never bother again or worried about guitar safety.

Installed on Epiphone SG
The screw is a tiny bit bigger than the stock one, so no going back without toothpicks, but I expected that from the other reviews. Be careful on installation as it may slightly chip the paint when enlarging the hole (can be avoided by using a countersinking drill bit at the top of the hole).

Just really good
I've replaced my strap buttons on all my guitars for these Schaller locks. I'm never losing my guitar again. And because of the handy system my straps don't wear as much anymore from putting them on and off your guitars. Plus the fact that it's easier.
A small price to pay for comfort

Solid
Super solid and reliable straplocks. I had knock off ones for years and never really got what the fuss was about, but I don't regret spending a few extra dollars this time for something that feels a bit more sturdy and locks a bit tighter.
