Realistically I don’t even need straplocks but I’ve got em and I use em...
One thing I like about strap locks is you can easily remove the strap before putting the guitar back in the case.

Absolutely. But mine go into their cases MAYBE a couple times per year. Tops. So, not an issue for me...One thing I like about strap locks is you can easily remove the strap before putting the guitar back in the case.
Ditto, bro! That’s exaxtly my reasoning. As much as I like the PRS design, I find it clunky and slow. The only time I’m nervous about using them is when I’m at Markie’s and I’m schlepping some insane Private Stock with a perny neck and unicorn tears inlay where a mistake would set me back a year’s college tuition+room/board!...Part of the reason I chose Schaller over Dunlop to begin with, is if the pin part of the Dunlop fails or breaks, there's nothing to keep your guitar from going down. The Schaller at least has the U shape part that the button is cradled in...

and I’m schlepping
Well, I ordered off amazon and received the old version. Back they go, guess I’ll have to wait.
One of the few places that seem to have actual stock is stew mac. I was trying to avoid shipping charges as I don’t need anything else from there right now.I went right to the horse's mouth and ordered direct from Schaller. We'll see how soon they ship. I ended up on the GC website somehow. It said July 21st for an ETA. May have been the finish I was looking at though.

I dislike UK taxes! These are an extra $12 for me and they’ve only travelled about 300 miles!
Yep! I guess if they’re made in Germany it’s the tax grabbing country I live inSux! So much for a world marketplace!
IMO, yes, they are. If the old version doesn’t bother you at all, maybe not. Having used the old ones for a few decades, I like these better so far.Thanks for the update. Are the worth $$$$ over the older one?
