D’Addario is bringing the old “rubber washer” trick into the 21st century with Pad Lock Straps, a line of straps that offers hassle-free security.
Inserting a rubber washer over a guitar strap and onto the end pin of a guitar is an old trick to getting some extra strap security. The Pad Lock Strap improves this technique by making the rubber washer part of the strap end itself. No need to find rubber washers, replace end pins, or add any extra parts. It’s as easy as putting on the strap and pulling the rubber tab over the end pin.
Woven Pad Lock Straps offer designs for players of all styles. Available beginning in April, D’Addario has four new Pad Lock prints to choose from, including Phoenix Dream, Parallel Flowers, Monterey Black, and Lightning Black. From iconic themes to unique patterns and artwork, these durable straps provide distinct style along with hassle-free security.
