Re: Guitar Strap locks problem
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)Zerberus Industries: Where perfection just isn't good enough.

Re: Guitar Strap locks problem
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“I can play the hell out of a riff. The rest of it’s all bulls**t anyway,” Gary Holt
