Hi!


Looking for chrome-plated straplocks for by beloved Vigier!


I've been using Jim Dunlop Dual Design straplocks for a very long time... but they are nickel... and they don't produce chrome-plated AFAIK...


What do you use on your Vigier? I personally don't like Schaller/Fender and Marvel systems...


Thanks!

Schaller works perfect for me, but that is my preference.

Schaller, definitely. I used Dimarzio cliplocks for a while but the attachments absoluteley molest all the paint off your guitar which is fine if you don't care and want your guitar to look beat up like Malmsteen, but if you value your axe, avoid Cliplocks they're awful!

But the Schaller don't fit the Vigier? I specifically went out and bought Schallers for my SL Master, but they DO NOT fit... Would love to know how you use Schallers on a Vigier? Cheers

Use the screw that comes with the Schaller system and not the screw already on the Vigier - this will then fit ok. I have these on all my guitars.

Excellent, thanks Ben. I wasn't sure if I could do that because of the metal insert, but just tried it and works fine. Many thanks!
