Cap-Locks.

Have you ever had your guitar fall off of its strap? I have, and I figured out a way to make your stock strap buttons a little bit more effective with just a few items that you can find around your household. I call them Cap-Locks. The Idea is to have a couple of washers and bottle caps put on your strap buttons. These help to prevent your guitar from falling off of its strap. This also gives your guitar a unique look, and helps you to save money. I am going to show you how to make cap locks.

Step 1 Gather Your Supplies.

If you wish to make Cap-Locks, you are going to need a few things to make them.

You are going to need:
1. A screwdriver.
2. Washers that have a hole larger than your strap buttons, and that are larger than your bottle caps.
(One washer per strap button)
3. Bottle Caps (Metal)
4. A drill
5. A guitar with strap button(s)

And these items are not necessary, but are useful:
A dremmel/pocket knife
Screws larger than your original strap button screws.

If you have all of these items that are needed, then please proceed to the next step.

I was playing a show once, luckly it was only rehersal, but both ends of my guitar strap came off. It landed on my foot. It's a BC Rich beast. If you have ever played this guitar, you'll know its heavy and painful to drop on yourself. Good thing its a BC, otherwise it wouldn't hae survived. I should try this next time i play a show. Great idea
