Walker \u0026amp; Williams signature feature is their\nthickly padded straps, which are really comfortable but they are not easy to\nget strap locks onto. So they have developed this set of strap locks with a\nlonger, deeper barrel, bless their hearts. As you may have experienced, it can\nbe a real pain to get strap locks to screw down even on regular guitar straps.\nWith W\u0026amp;W’s double padded straps, it can be really challenging. The new XSL\nstrap locks are machined with a longer barrel that solves that problem nicely\nboth for the thick W\u0026amp;W straps and for many, many other brands of straps. I\nmanaged to get some Schaller strap locks on my own W\u0026amp;W C-22 strap only by\ngrinding down the washer until it was barely there and then smashing down the\nleather with vise-grips until I could just get the nut to thread on. It wasn’t\nfun and it looks pretty amateur too. With these new strap locks, it ain’t no\nthang. There’s plenty of the barrel showing through to use the proper washer\nand no problem getting the nut threaded on without a struggle. Nice. I like\n‘em. The new barrel is about 5\/16” longer than standard strap locks and that's\nenough to make all the difference between trying to wrestle your strap locks\non and having all the room you need. In addition, the W\u0026amp;W strap locks come\nwith full sized US screws, so they won’t pull out of your guitar just when\nyou're getting into the music like the wimpy metric Euro screws a lot of strap\nlocks come with. And since the screws are stainless steel, they aren’t going\nto break on you either.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eWalker \u0026amp; Williams XSL-2 Gold Extra Long Strap Locks\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eExtra long barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eFull US sized stainless steel screws included\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eIncludes 2 complete gold Schaller-style strap locks, with strap buttons, screws, washers and spring loaded locks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Walker \u0026 Williams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44866593652889,"sku":"B01LWJJFYC","price":131.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/3148\/7385\/files\/B01LWJJFYC.jpg?v=1727623931","url":"https:\/\/soundstores.net\/products\/walker-williams-gold-extra-long-deep-barrel-strap-locks-for-thick-guitar-straps","provider":"SoundStore Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
