Using the D’Addario Auto Lock Guitar Strap is a breeze. First, find the strap buttons on your guitar. Slide the end of the strap over these buttons, and the spring - loaded grey latch will automatically clamp down, locking the strap in place. When you want to remove the strap, simply push up on the grey latch and slide the end off the button.
Keep in mind that while this strap works with most strap buttons on the market, it might not work with all designs. Specifically, it won't work with end pin jacks or plastic strap buttons.
To maintain your strap, keep it away from sharp objects that could cut or scratch the leather. If it gets dirty, use a soft, damp cloth to gently clean it. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they could damage the leather and the locking mechanism. With proper care, your D’Addario Auto Lock Guitar Strap will last you a long time and keep your guitar secure during performances.
