Thanks everyone!
Do you all strap lock your PRSi or use some other technique? I normally use them but I've been loathing messing with this beautiful piece of wood.
That is a very fine looking guitar you got there! Digging the black stained neck!!
As far as strap locks go, they were on every guitar that I ever had up until I got my first Core ('91 CU24). I couldn't bring myself to put them on it. Besides, the strap buttons on it work fine as opposed to the smaller ones found on my other guitars.
I had strap locks on my SE Tremonti Custom but ended up taking them off and installing a set of Core buttons on it. I like the low profile look better and functionally they are great.

That actually looks sharp with the black neck plate and control covers.
The Core strap buttons tend to be pretty big - I have no idea how you'll get the rubber stoppers on there. Heck, sometimes I feel sorry for my strap once it is finally on...I'm gonna try out a strap with the Fender rubber stoppers on, see if that's secure enough tomorrow.

I don't hear so much of it now but there was a commonly referred to trick whereby you disassembled the mouse-trap found on the top of a bottle of Grolsch beer and used a piece of that. Never tried it myself.
Congrats on your 1st PRSi - A beautiful guitar! Glad you like the tone. What will your next PRS be?Just wanted to follow up and say, holy crap this guitar is phenomenal!
Obviously, the visual pop is the first thing you notice but it plays like butter. However, to me, the pups steal the show. My cleans sound like I'm playing an amplified acoustic (and I say that in the best way possible).
Very very blown away by it. I bought this guitar thinking it would the last guitar in my collection (and the only PRSi) but no way will I not add a second one to the stable.
I just unscrew the PRS strap pins, put the strap on, then screw the pins back on and leave the strap on all the time... works better than straplocks for me (once had a schaller fail on me because I neglected to re-tighten the nut on the strap side lock regularly)... The only problem is I have to have a different strap for every guitar.... but that's okay because I like shopping for guitar straps almost as much as I like shopping for guitars!
Thanks for that link... some beautiful straps there... my wife's a Celtic harpist, and our wedding bands have Celtic knots wrought in white gold... might have to order that Dara strap I'm thinkin'...I use the same method. And, I like shopping for straps too! I've been digging these lately.

Me too! I started taking the button off, putting the screw through the strap hole with the button on it, and then screwing it back in.
I am far too cheap to spend that much on a strap! They do look beautiful though!.
