MusicNomad Acousti-Lok Strap Lock Adapter for Standard Output Jacks for Acoustic Guitars (MN270)

Great little item, the standard version fits my Tanglewood TSC8E with LR Baggs Bronze perfectly.

Fitted perfectly to my Alvarez Masterworks MD70e LR Baggs output jack. Looks cool too.

Much too expensive but great product

Does what it's supposed to and works well. You could probably put the black part of the adaptor with the logo on the other way round if you don't want to see the logo. I thought it looks okay, it's discreet, so I left it showing. It's nice that it doesn't fall down when you position it upright, this makes it easy and quick to get the strap on. Note that you'll need a Schaller lock on your strap to use this product or buy a separate button from MusicNomad. It doesn't rattle around and doesn't bother me if I'm playing without a strap.The positives:Fits well. Is nicely machined with no rough edges. Easy to install. Allows access to battery box without removing. Doesn't get in the way of guitar cables. Looks nice. Doesn't rattle. Moves freely but stays in place. There's a felt pad on it so that if it touches the guitar body it won't scratch it.The negatives:Expensive for what it is. Only comes with a Schaller button (if you want a regular button you need to buy it separately) so is only useful if you have a Schaller lock on your strap. Rubs slightly against the battery compartment (this isn't really an issue though unless you're regularly doing pyrotechnics with your guitar while playing). When putting the guitar away in a Taylor hard case you need to put it up facing the top of the guitar or there'll be pressure on it.

For owners of the epiphone J200 EC Studio I can conform that the imperial thread version fits perfectly. I followed the Music Nomad YouTube video, to guide me through the alignment process prior to which, as a precaution, I masking taped around the jack plug to avoid accidental scratches. My only criticism of the product is that I wish they'd made it a cm longer as the tab of my strap is tight up to the lead when inserted. Ridiculously expensive, but a great solution to a common concern about strap security.

The media could not be loaded. (£25 at time of review)It looks like a lot of money for what it is, but it is an exceptionally well made product that works perfectly... Definitely worth what I paid for it.This adapts my Fishman Matrix T-Blend endpin into something usable... The original Fishman component doesn't fit any of the straps I own.Very good value for money since you are paying for a great product that will last a very long time.I highly recommend this product 😎👍

Bought this for my Alvarez acoustic that has a LR Baggs system Thread fits perfectly but i had to adjust the output socket to get the acousti-lok to hang correctly - very easy to do . The Schaller S locks now keep my pride and joy safe. Music nomad have some good videos on youtube to help select the right lock and how to install them.

I've tried various different ways to keep my guitar straps secure over the years, but never been entirely satisfied with any of the solutions I'd tried on my acoustic. A strap lock would seem the best all round solution, however up to know, on acoustic guitars, it's been a choice of strap lock or end pin jack.Obviously not any more, the acousti-lok replaces the strap nut on the end pin jack, allowing you to use a strap lock while maintaining access to the jackBe aware there are a couple of versions of these and you need to ensure you have the version to match the thread on the end pin jack. I had to get the imperial version for the K&K end pin jack, but this won't fit my other guitar which has a metric thread - check the music nomad site for guidance before buyingOne other thing to be aware of is that, while it's fully comparable with Schaller strap-lok buttons, it may not work as well with other brands. In theory, you can swap the button on the end of the acousti-lok, or you could just invest in some Schaller ones...
