Yep, thatâs what I have. Whilst Iâve never tried to swing my guitar around my neck with them the strapâs not budged!

Excellent. I am safe. Man these electric guitars are very heavy 
What have you got ?
Yamaha RSS02T
Suspect its just as heavy as an LP. Try before you buy, springs to mind. Just donât break it. Get them strap locks on asap.

Agree try before you buy OR get one you can return. Compared to an acoustic they are heavy.
In terms of strap locks I use Dunlop locking ones.
After seeing the pictures of Tobyâs misfortunes Iâve got S Locks fitted on my electric and acoustics.

S locks ? drilling my guitar ? No that is not my option I am not good with that.
What is Tobyâs misfortune?
The specs mention âinternal acoustic design chambers that lighten weightâ though. But strap locks are always a good idea, especially if you move around a lot while playing. A luthier can do the drilling if youâre not comfortable with that.
Iâve got ones like this on my Epiphone Les Paul (itâs on the heavy end of the spectrum) and they work fine: Stagg SSL1 CR Strap Locks
Strap locks âŠ

Wide strap. You can get some wide ones that are a little elasticated for heavy guitars too.
This is the short verion, the rest is in my Learning Log Roadcase.

S Locks = Straplocks. Who mentioned drills ?
Get out the tissues for this one peeps. There was a separate thread that led to this but for all newbies reading this, get STRAPLOCKS and get them now !!

Well as promised the much needed update to this Roadcase.
So some of you may recall back in January, after a wonderful 2 years together, my beloved Wine Red LP Studio aka Cherry had what I thought to be a fatal accident and with all the restrictions and limitations arising from the Covid pandemic, was pretty much consigned to history.
As the Red Queen said âOff with their headsâ
On that day the world fell out of my bottom, or so it felt. But every cloud has at least one silver lining.
Oh dear
This quote comes to mind as well.
Off with his headâ is a quote used by William Shakespeare in his history play, Henry VI, Part III and in Richard III . The quote is short but has become synonymous with royal executions and what can happen when one attempts to overthrow a monarch in similar fiction.
The king is dead long live the king or something like that!!!
Did you replace it?
@TheMadman_tobyjenner
Well Iâll say no more but if you want a bed time story its all in the LL. I quoted the Red Queen as Iâd not long covered White Rabbit.

Schaller Strap Locks. I got them fitted by the guitar company as part of the quality check and setup. No drilling was required. If for example the guitar did need to be drilled then they would advise so as it would be considered a modification and the guitar would become non returnable. One of the best decision Iâve made having them fitted. Easy to interchange straps and peace of mind guitars are secure.
LPs and broken head stocks, apparently sound better once fixed⊠Good work on the relicing

Great read
As I said âthe king is dead long live the kingâ what I didnât realise it was the same king!!

I use this on my Les Paul. seems to work well.
Think my Luthier sold his soul. He not only plays like a magician but his âwrenchingâ skill are incredible. Comparing Smokey and Cherry youâd not know the difference or the history.

Had another look at your luthier, looks to a bit of a character.
He is geordie, I will forgive him as he repaired your guitar, I am a Mackem (somebody from Sunderland and local rival football team, yes the word is in the Oxford English Dictionary)
His website is very interesting, just when you think these characters are no longer around, you excepted of course.
Cheers
Michael
