This listing is for genuine Schaller S-Lock strap lock sets of their latest design with a wheel nut that has a set screw. Each boxed set has 2 locks and 2 strap buttons as received from the Schaller factory in Germany. And you'll be receiving them as shown and factory sealed with 2 small tape dots, with the exception of the ones used in the photos that were reclosed with the tape dots intact.
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 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, so I am only carrying the other 5, which are harder to find!
>Ruthenium
>Satin Chrome
>Satin Pearl (more golden vs. satin chrome)
>Gold
>Black Chrome
On pricing I can't compete with many traditional retailers that purchase in bulk, but they also only have a couple finish options. I price on some of the harder to find finishes with 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. Alas since my last stock, not only has the price from Schaller increased, but the US$ to Euro has changed significantly, so I have to adjust my prices accordingly!
I have 5 styles images here:
>A boxed set of each of the 5 finishes I'm offering
>Images of all 5 strap portions of the locks on 1" wide black leather and brown leather with each finish noted.
>Wheel nuts from the lock sets, except Gold, 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.
Alas the factory doesn't sell the strap portion separately--when I inquired about this option, Dr Schaller himself confirmed that they want to ensure the customer always has their design locks and buttons together.
Pricing and ordering:
If you order a set along with your new guitar strap from me, there will be no additional shipping for the lock set if you've selected priority shipping for the strap. Otherwise the weight of the set will increase the price for first class shipping slightly vs. strap only, but you will get a full refund on shipping.
To accomplish this, I will REFUND the shipping charge on this listing when it's ordered along with a strap.
If the finish you want is out of stock, there is about a 3-4 week lead time for me to replenish, so please do let me know if you want one that's out of stock with your strap order, but you don't want to wait on getting the strap, and I will plan to ship it as if it was ordered along with the strap at reduced/no shipping charge.
But if you order the lock set on its own, or you've not made any arrangements with me prior to the order, you will be responsible for the shipping as calculated.
I am not offering these for any profit margin, but covering my costs to offer these to you, but since I am not a volume buyer, what I pay for shipping from the factory is higher per item than traditional retailers, so I cannot offer free shipping on this item by itself.
But do message me if you are interested in ordering 2 or more--I can look at shipping options, and likely save you more with another method!
And SOON will have listing up for just the BUTTONS in the above finishes, so you can buy a new button for your strap, and use the S lock base already attached to your guitar...
