Easy Guitar Strap Locks made from Picks!

Easy Guitar Strap Locks made from Picks!
Here I'll show you how to make effective Strap Locks for your guitar, the simple and cheap way!

They also give a slight custom appearance to your beloved axe!

You'll want:

-(x2) Guitar Pick (The softer/thinner picks are better. Hard picks just break. .50 tortex is perfect)

-Scissors
-Dremel or similar tool.
-Drill with relatively small drill bit. (Optional, you could just use the Dremel to drill if you'd like)
