Ernie Ball Strap Locks

[heath_r_91]

Does anyone have these? I have been holding out for these for a while and haven't heard anything for a long time. If you do have them could you send me a picture of them on your instrument?

What is your general feeling on them? Good, bad, or just regular straplocks?

Any idea of pricing? If anyone has a link to somewhere I could buy them offline that would be awsome.

Thanks guys!

bump? surely someone has heard of the status of these straplocks or has them.

Have they actually come out? I remember on their message board last year, when I used to stop by and check things out, they were saying the release date was yet to be determined.

Honestly, while I'm sure they are/will be nice, I don't see the big difference on them versus any other quality straplock, other than that nifty Ernie Ball logo...

I read the post about these in the Ernie Ball Forum the other day. They are basically Vaporware. Theyve been promising a release for about a year.

After reading through numerous Ernie Ball forums and some vigorous internet searching, I found somewhere that sells them!

And for only about $20 bucks, I don't think the price is too bad at all!

I heard that they are like the Dunlops only smaller and they don't have an E clip which I guess was a problem with Dunlops? They have some different kind of holding... Sorry I can't be more informative, that is all I remember from the forums I read.

Boy, it would be nice to have a picture of the units instead of a pile of bags...

 

[heath_r_91]

ha ha, yes it would.

But at least we have found something on them right?

We know they actually exist!

That was a very difficult task even finding out they are in existance!

I ordered 3 sets yesterday,and should have them Friday.I'll try to get some close up shots for everybody.

Awsome!

Do you mind me asking where you got them? (for price comparison reasons)

Definitely let us know your initial impressions. They seem to look a lot smaller than normal straplocks. May just be different angles, though.

Darn, i was hoping that they'd be a Schaller style lock. I've got 9 instruments with Schallers and they're becoming harder and harder to find.

I just bought Dunlop's from MF and I saw them there. Try this Link Removed

Thanks man, it must just be my local places.

The last time i bought a few sets of buttons-the ones i prefer [black] were on back order everywhere but All Parts, so i stocked up.

I've never had problems finding Schallers.
