Nice touch on a custom instrument but once you install them there's no way back!
Installed a set of these straploks on a customer bass, for the first time.
I like the fact they're virtually invisible once the strap is off but they require some pretty big hole in the horn of the instrument... if you put them on a thick finish body you're probably going to need some very good forstner drill bit to avoid tearing.
You'll also need a caliper to make the hole as deep as requested and not more!
I wouldn't leave an unexperienced player install these straploks on a decent instrument for sure.
The finish is good, though, and if you're sure you can live with straploks for your whole life, they can be a good choice.
