Re: straplocks?
I recommend it.. for only a very small price, you prevent the guitar from dropping on the floor and getting damaged and the peace of mind.
I'm a lot less cautious with my guitar with straplocks now (because it always used to come loose) and can work on the right posture for playability.

Re: straplocks?
Let's face it, if you have a Les Paul you need to worry about the headstock. LP headstocks have a notorious reputation for weak headstocks. If your LP slips off of the strap and it goes down head first your going to have some serious repair costs ahead of you. :22:

Re: straplocks?
You could go for a locking strap by planet waves, it locks onto almost all guitar pins and your guitar will never fall out of it, its handy if you want a secure strap but dont wanna put strap locks one your guitars.

Re: straplocks?
I prefer the Schallers to the Dunlops and have used both.
The Dunlops stripped out the head of the screw. Now I know what you're going to say, "It doesn't matter because you don't need to be taking it out." But a product shouldn't ruin another. The Schallers are just as reliable and, IMO, harder to detatch inadvertantly.
The only guitar I own without Straplocks installed is my Franken-Tele, and that's only because I've opted out of strap pins for it. I screwed in some eyelet hooks and use a chain. If that guitar ever hits the floor it's because I'm swinging it around.

Re: straplocks?
If you've never had a guitar come off the strap, you might not need 'em. That can vary based on how old your straps are and how much you move around while playing.
From a cost standpoint, if you can't afford straplocks, you really can't afford repairs that might arise from the strap coming off the guitar.
