Planet Waves DGS15 Acoustic Guitar Quick-Release System, Black

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.

Useful gadget for acoustic guitar strap when you need to fix it to end of guitar neck

I nearly didn't purchase this item due to the 1 star reviews saying it is anything but quick release as it is impossible to unfasten. I just have to say that despite my arthritic fingers I have had no problem detaching or attaching it so don't be put off.

The best guitar headstock strap I've had. Easy to put on and remove. I use for my electric, and acostic guitar. can't fault

My acoustic doesn't have a strap peg at the neck end so this enabled me to use a strap easily and securely

Nice product and a very practical way of removing the guitar strap from a classical where most often it's fixed at the headstock.

Great little accessory for your guitar strap. I use this on the strap for my ukulele bass. Because it doeasn't have a strap button at the neck end of the body - I was going to fit a second strap button but found that this was a better solution. One end goes under the strings at the headstock just behind the nut and the other end loops through the strap button hole. I can then easily and quickly detach the strap and because my U-bass is very short scale having the strap going to the headstock gives a nice balance. The 'clip' mechanism is basically the same type of thing as you find on a camera strap or ruck sack. It seems perfectly strong enough for the job and has worked on my strap for over a year.

Good quality but the spectating clip is quite big
