Planet Waves Quick Release Attachment

I have had this strap attachment on my guitar for quite awhile now, and I am completely happy with it. It makes removing the strap from my acoustic simple and quick for string changes and cleaning. One end of the loop slides under the strings just above the nut, then back through itself. It lays flat and stays out of the way. The other end is attached to my regular nylon web strap. No more irritating knots to look goobery near the headstock or untie and retie every time. The cord-lock piece is rugged, heavy plastic and snaps securely into place. When I need to remove the strap it's off in a jiffy. Love this thing! **Update 02-02-2015** I am still using this quick-release attachment on my Fender acoustic. It's still like new and working great. No problems or apparent wear; the plastic is still quite strong and the ends snap shut tightly. No worries about dropping the guitar Also, it holds the fat part of your strap up out of the way of your fretting hand. I've got a new VoyageAir acoustic and am going to order the exact same QR attachment for it. Great little piece of gear!

Works as expected. It's very convenient if you're the type to take off the strap before returning the guitar to the case.

I have several ukuleles, and use one of these for each one. It makes it easy to attach the strap, with no loose lace ends. There si a clasp in the middle, to detach the strap, if you need to. Also, if you separate the parts, it’s easier to set it up. (Then, just reclose them) The connector seems sturdy- when it should be closed, it stays closed.

Background: I am a classical guitarist with back problems, so I use a strap to hold the classical playing position. Had been tying the strap to the headstock with a shoelace until I found this. The good: The product delivers what it promises, it's super easy to attach to the headstock with less interferance than some of the leather headstock adapters, and the quick release works perfectly. I have mine in a bit of an unusual configuration (tied to the top tuners) to acheive the position that I want, but this little thing is very versatile, you could even tie it to a strap button if need be. What to improve: The only nitpick I have is that I can't adjust the lenght of the string in the same way a shoelace can. It's not a big issue, but I had to adjsut my strap and seating a bit. In short: Very elegant and versatile solution to attach your strap to the headstock! Recommended 4.9 stars!

They work!

I use this device to attach straps to my acoustic guitars. I have a few, and I've come to trust them more than my own knots. It makes it easy to attach and detach the strap at the headstock end, and saves me having to add a strap button which damages the guitar. The product attaches easily to both slotted and unslotted headstocks, and there is plenty of cord for either arrangement. The squeeze lock is very stiff and secure while being easy to release when it's time to put the guitar away. Great product, great price, and the peace of mind is invaluable!

Fit nicely as a replacement for my 12 string guitar strap's original shoestring! Much stronger, has a quick detach to make removal easier, or to quick change straps for those with more than one.

I have one of these on each of my acoustic guitars. I leave my straps on my guitars so one of the major benefits of the product I am not taking advantage of. For awhile I had straps beefy enough that I had to remove the straps before putting them in the hard case. These are a good idea for doing that. The real advantage I find besides them being more secure than the shoestring is they move that strap end away from the fretboard. I find this knot and strap end a distraction. The three advantages of this product are: 1). Eases removal of the strap. 2). More secure than the "shoelace" 3). Moves the end of the strap away from the fretboard. It is a great idea. It is well made. I have purposely tried to pull them apart to test it before I put it on the guitar and they are very strong.

When purchasing a Planet Waves quick-release guitar strap (reviewed separately) I also bought a couple of these so that I could add them to other, normal guitar straps if the need ever arose. If you have a guitar that lacks a top strap button and you don't fancy your chances at being able to fit one yourself without damaging something, these are ideal. Simply tie one end around the neck of the guitar above the nut as normal (you can just pass the lace around the neck, pass the clip through the loop and pull it tight for a secure fit) and then tie the other end to your favourite guitar strap (again, just pass the lace through the normal button-hole on the strap and then pass the clip through the loop and pull tight). Job done! When you clip the two halves together, you have one end of your strap securely fastened to the head of the guitar while the other end can then be fastened to a bottom strap button as normal. Of course, if your guitar also lacks a bottom strap button, then this doesn't solve all your problems and you're probably going to have to resort to a bit of woodworking anyway, but at least you'll only need to fit one rather than two.

I've been using a shoe string for decades, and only recently decided to see if there are any alternatives. I found this option and decided to give it a try. Installation is a breeze, and the buckle feels very secure. The buckle is similar to the typical chest strap buckle of a backpack, but more slick looking and narrow. Others here said that they struggle to open and close the buckle, but I've had no issues like that. Maybe they had defective units? Mine works great. It's easy to use and also feels secure. Assuming that they keep making these strap holders, I will never use a shoe string again.

Usavo anch'io i lacci, ma con questo articolo tutto è più semplice e inoltre la tracolla non intralcia la mano, come accadeva spesso con i lacci.

Excelente para quem deseja tocar e não fazer furo no instrumento. Funciona muito bem com violão, cavaco bandolim, etc..

D'Addario製品は大体腐ってますがこれはオススメです。あいみょんも使ってるみたいです。利点は複数のギターを使っている時に本製品を複数ギターに接続していればカチっととめるだけですむからです。
