  • Guitar Strap locks problem

    i was puttin my new strap lock in about a month ago, and i used my old screws, and it was fine for like a week but then it started to come out!!!!! so the peg was sticking out like 1/4 inch from the guitar held by the screw.... i put wood glue in it, iuno if this was a good idea but it worked.. so what im asking is what happened and was wood glue a good ideA?

    did the threads in the wood strip? that might be why the screws leaders aren't holding in...

        Are the screws that came with the straplocks bigger, i.e.thicker or longer?

        If they are, then remove the locks, put toothpicks soaked in wood-glue into the holes, and reinstall the straplocks with the correct screws (I personally use even longer ones than are usually supplied)

            I use DiMarzio Clip-Lock straps, and use these rediculously long (like 4") screws with them. One time of the undersized original popping out, and a Les Paul taking a dive into the floor was enough I can do the "spin the guitar over your shoulder" trick all night now, and know it ain't coming off

              But did you fill the hole with tooth picks and glue, let it cure and then redrill it, just putting glue in there and screwing it back in is taking a chance.
