End Pin Locking?

[Julian Hagenauer]

Hi,the description of the Indus reads: End pin:
Brass casing that inserts deep into the body and locks the strap button in place.Are those just normal end pins, or something similar to the schaller security lock end pins?Is it possible to get a vigier from factory with schaller security locks?

If you scroll down on the 'News' page you will see some pictures with a description.

Any screw will work with Schaller locks, you just might need to grind down the head some for it to fit.

Yes it is common to all Vigiers and you can use the screw provided to install Schaller Security lock. We can also install them for you if you special order them.

The brass insert is great, no more stripped screw holes from * straplocks! I've had to use matchsticks and glue more times than I care to remember!I installed Shallers on my Vig today and used the original screws but I had to drill the Schaller strap buttons a bit because the hole was too tight for the Vigier screw, the Schaller screw was thin and short compared to the Vigier screw.

Yes our system works well, since we use it no more tape to hold the strap on stage !!

I think every wood screw should have an insert - it may stop my guitar being a feather weight 6.5lb but good for us modders
