So you case your guitars with the strap attached to the guitar? I feel like every strap has plastic or metal on it that I wouldn't want pressing against the guitar in the case.I have solved that problem by having a separate strap for each guitar. Each is adjusted to me, and they simply stay on the instrument all the time. Result: zero wear and zero slippage. It costs a few more bucks, but it's worth the security.
I use only leather straps. Except the one on my Conklin GT7 bass, which is sheepskin bonded to leather. Not a bit of plastic or metal to be found.So you case your guitars with the strap attached to the guitar?

My Schallers work with any strap.Dont forget your strap.
None on a PRS. I remove button, put through and screw back on (beeswax always on wood screws). On others, Dunlops. The critical failure part is stamped stainless and will bend, but very rarely fail. 55 years, never heard of one. Scallers are pot metal and will fatigue fracture at critical places. I have bored with this before.

I used to make my own leather straps. They do eventually age out, but I've never had a strap slip. I did, however, once have straplocks - and the thing popped apart right in the middle of a show. So under the KISS principle, I've never used them since.
Yeah, Schallers aren't very popular around here, but it's what I use. A failure means the guitar doesn't slam to the floor. Gibson's tiny buttons made me a believer.I don't think anybody has mentioned them yet, but I use Schallers.
