Default I love this silly attatchment for my strap

The the end pin pickup jack on my Guild D40E is one of the big ones. This little add on from Pinegrove Leathers solved the problem nicely. Easy to put on and very secure, really a strap lock like the rubber beer bottle washers I use on my Strat and Tele.

The Tapastring Strapkeeper is the same idea, except with a plastic "keeper" rather than the rubber washer (the keeper is also attached to the leather piece by a string, so you don't lose it). I have it on several of my guitars with pickups and it works great.

Rad, does it come loose easily when you want to take the strap off?

The rubber washer just pulls off and the leather attachment stays on the strap.

Yes, the Tapastring is was I have used for years. Simple, efficient and kind to my guitars’ finish. Great little invention.
Best,

At a number of festivals I would sit around the Pine Grove Leathers stall jamming with the team. And then I would steal the staff to come and be a backup band for the mountain dulcimer workshops I would be running.
