Planet Waves 50CTPL00 Strap
This definitely has both pros and cons.
Pros
It's easily adjustable in length, taking just seconds to get right when switching from guitar to guitar, or for another player.
The locking mechanism is easy to use and very safe - in fact it's the only strap which I have from which I would lift both arms in the air and jump up and down without fear of it coming off and the guitar hitting the ground.
Cons
After 3 years it is quite frayed where the adjuster is - and I don't adjust it much. I can't really remember, but it was probably a bit like that when I bought it.
It is totally unsuitable for some types of guitar - like my Martin. It simply does not fit at all. The stud for it to clip on the Martin is on the underside of the neck and there is not enough room for the plastic end of the strap to fit on. For other guitars it works fine.

Does the job
This is a low cost strap, with lock. And it sure is OK. But the old planet waves lock system ( have a guitar strap about 10 years old ) seems to be more solid / firm.

solid strap
Makes a solid impression. The locking technique is unique and works very well. Overall a little bulky if that's the right word, but the price-value ratio is excellent!
