WTB:Gotoh/Ibanez Straplocks.

[JTM45]

I'm looking for a pair of the Gotoh straplocks that came with some Ibanez Prestige model guitars.

I have the strap-button part, it's just the bit that fixes to the strap that i need.
I'm in the UK but would buy from anywhere as they won't cost much to send in the post.

Thanks.

Do you have a picture or a link to a specific guitar? I have some Gotoh locks, but they were an older design with a very small strap button.

[JTM45]

They are quite large strap-buttons on mine so they may be a different type.

I didn't realise until recently that they were part of a straplock but apparently they are.
You can see a recessed lip inside the button where the locks snap in (or something).

Somebody must have some of these sitting around doing nothing,surely?

Cool
Thanks for that. I'll keep an eye on those.

I wonder if Rich can get them also ?

I never tried, I actually hate them

Ibanez part #4EP1J3K. The part # is off my RG3120. I had my local dealer order them from Ibanez for me. They came yesterday. $20.00 USD a piece, or there on Fl**** right now for $33.00 USD for the pair.

Hope this helps

RICH.
What is it you don't like about them ?

Are they crap or do you just not like strap-locks in general ?

I've got Schaller ones on two of my guitars but i fancied getting a pair of these for my RG2027 as it has the strap-buttons for those locks (which it appears come with the locks anyway) on it already.

How do they actually attach to the strap-button ?

Thanks

I'm watching those on E bay already as it happens but thanks for the info anyway. Much appreciated.

They stick out way too far.
