This listing is for the STRAP LOCK strap part only for the genuine Schaller S-Lock strap locks that are their latest design with a wheel nut that has a set screw. I requested this option a couple years ago when I first bought some sets to stock, and at the time they said they couldn't do this, but now they do!!!
With option to purchase only the Locks, you can have a finish that matches a new or different strap and not have to spend extra money on the hardware mounted on the guitar itself & have parts you don't need! It's not quite half the price of the full set, but a significant savings over a full set for just the lock buttons. But these only work if you have S-locks already installed. Please see my listing for the full sets if you need all of the hardware in the set.
Each package has 2 strap locks as received from the Schaller factory in Germany in their branded packaging intended for the front and back on one strap. I have decided to NOT OPEN any of these, but am using photos from my lock sets listing to show the lock parts in detail and against other leathers. You'll be receiving them as shown in their Schaller factory sealed bags.
My intent in offering them is as an option to matching the lock to your new guitar strap--but of course some options still look better with your instrument's hardware than what is normally found, too!
I also am offering four of the harder to find finishes that suit my many different leathers well. Schaller makes seven (7) finishes, and nearly all stores stock the basic Nickel & Chrome, but unlike the sets where I have 5 options, I am currently carrying 4 finishes:
>Ruthenium
>Satin Chrome
>Satin Pearl (more golden vs. satin chrome)
>Black Chrome
(Please note that I did not get the Gold locks only, but they are available in the sets. But if there are requests, I can add them!)
I may not be able to offer as competitive of pricing with many traditional retailers that can purchase & ship in bulk for deeper discounts, but they also rarely stock these finishes. My price on these harder to find finishes has a minimal margin for myself, but I try to ensure I cover my costs with conversion rates and fees in mind so I can continue offering these options along with my straps for you.
I have 4 styles images here in their factory bags, but using images from the sets, :
>The Locks their factory sealed bags
The rest of the images show the gold as they are copied from my set listing:
>Images of all 5 strap button portions of the sets on 1" wide black leather and brown leather with each finish noted.
>Wheel nuts from the lock sets on grey/silvery leathers--a random foil on black, and pewter color snake print as I have in different colors already listed (with or without a Nickel washer from an old set I have added for comparison of finish only--this, nor any Nickel finish lock set, is offered in this listing)
>Wheel nuts of all finishes across more colorful leathers--an iridescent dragon scale print over black next to a rainbow iridescent foil "grill" pattern on black, with the Nickel washer for comparison.
Pricing and ordering:
If you order the locks along with your new guitar strap from me, there will be no additional shipping for the locks, so if you've been charged additional shipping fee in the order, I will refund overage.
If the finish you want is out of stock, there is about a 4 week lead time for me to replenish, so please do let me know if you want one when you order a strap, and I can note to refund you the shipping when the strap locks are in stock and you order the set, or set up a custom order to capture that with ship date accounting for my time to receive these from Germany.
But if you order the locks on its own, and I cannot combine the items e.g. another order placed after you ordered a strap & before I shipped it, you will be responsible for the shipping as calculated.
