Looks like it. Twice the amount of room as the original.I used to use Schallers but got sick of the strap end not fitting on thicker straps. Did this new design fix that ?
Looks like some really cool upgrades. I wonder how well they'll work w/the existing buttons. I'll probably try these at some point - maybe only replace the buttons on my primary guitars.
I ordered one set. I have 2 straps that I use locks on and multiple guitars with just buttons. I'm gonna replace the full set on one guitar/strap, then see if there's much difference using old buttons vs. the new ones. I believe the button shape is the same, just that the new are steel one piece design rather than the separate button and screw. It's cool they seemed to address the issues that most people complained about. They sell just the replacement buttons separate as well. Will see how they fare, I should have them by Sunday.Well crap... do you know how many guitars I have to replace these on now?
Great updates though.
I'm going to give these a try. Looks like they've improved upon the design.

I've got a couple of sets of the older Schallers and they work fine. Strap thickness hasn't been an issue for me, but I think the lock wheels on this new design that can be hand-tightened are a real improvement over needing to use a wrench.
Strap thickness hasn't been the issue for me, it's hole diameter. I end up having to cut bits out of all my straps to accommodate the Schallers.Looks like it. Twice the amount of room as the original.

I'm not so into leather straps, tho. My collection is mostly darker seat belts from PRS, Couch, Souldier. Gotta mangle those leather ends myself.There are strap makers (the English company, Heistercamp comes to mind) who will make beautiful leather straps with any size hole you specify. I had one made for my son’s straplock guitars, and I had them make one with a longer buttonhole for my stock PRS buttons.
I think Richter (in Germany) will do the same.
Both companies do gorgeous work.
