Its true, Ive had these on my strat for years, never had the strap fall off on me.
Mind you, i dont fancy trying this on the les paul, it weighs a ton.

I've use Schaller straplocks for something like 14 years and never dropped a guitar and never had any wear and tear problems. And I move around quite a bit on stage! However, Apple's solution is easily the coolest so far

 Listen up folks as I'm about to give you the best possible solution to this problem...it's cheap, very effective and not ugly!
Go buy yourself 2 bottles of Grolsh Beer, the type with the re-sealable caps with the wire gadget thingy, I think it's dutch beer(?). Inside the caps you will find a perfectly formed rubber washer-seal thingy. Pull this off the ceramic cap, put your strap on your guitar and then put the rubber washer-sealer thingy over the strap button. Problem solved! I garantee your strap will never come off unless you want it too. I use this cheap solution on all my guitars and it has never failed me through hundreds of gigs! Oh, and final very important step...drink the beer! Tastes great!:D

I move to censure Shzbard for ungentlemenly gloating.

Good call. Let's slap him, or with-hold his pocket money.

Or ground him!

Or ban him from ever drinking Grosh beer ever again so that he drops his guitar!:D

I use Dunlop Straploks on almost all my guitars . I would recommend taking a Q -tip with some quality lube and cleaning/lubricating both parts of the component.

Oh and BTW the beer is spelt GROLSCH... Good call though Apple!

I also use the cheap plastic gizmos acorkos first mentioned - they work great too.

I use dimarzio straplocks. You have to take the original strapbolt off, but it's easy to install and will do it's job perfectly.
