My Warwick strap locks have worn out and snapped off right in the middle of filming a music video…
Which strap locks did you find reliable? Afaik Schaller and Dunlop offer some, but I’ve never seen them in use.
This is sort of old but I always make a point to recommend DiMarzio because nobody else seems to. I’ve seen all of the typical straplock designs fail, but I’ve never seen a DiMarzio strap fail. I straight up don’t trust anything else anymore
I find these work great for me. I don’t get too crazy though.
If you’re on the market for more, these generic ones are virtually identical in quality for less:

Oh my bandmate uses these, yeah they do their job well enough. I use the same strap for several instruments so something else might be better.
I use Dunlop strap locks and they work well. I like that the buttons look just like stock and can hold a regular strap if for whatever reason you don’t have a locking one handy.
How did your warwick ones break? Can you share a picture?
Schaller style straplocks. Get Schallers if you’re feeling fancy but the Harley Benton version is just as good.
I have the Schaller ones and can definitely recommend them. They are strong and built to last. I recommend a dab of loctite on the threads for the strap side to make sure it doesn’t loosen up over time.
