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

This is my second adapter as they are of good qualityand this type is necessary for an Epiphone acoustic guitar.You have to be careful which one you order due to thespecific thtread on the guitar. Ihad (imperial size thread)

(£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 😎👍

It’s expensive for what it is… however, I absolutely love it. It’s made for schaller strap locks which is great. However, it’s worth noting most straps will block the Jack input and have to fiddle around which on stage is not ideal. On the other end, using these strap locks on the heel servilely inhibits the playability higher up the neck!Fear Not! I have paired this system with the DiMarzio clip lock straps (which are awesome in their own right). At the heel joint it is perfectly flush using the clip locks screw straight into the body. But by adapting the other end of the strap slightly to fit the schaller locking part in by the Jack it uses the schaller part that’s integrated. Because of the design of the clip lock it means you have perfect access to the Jack input too!

The value of this product rests on whether or not it precisely tightens up to the correct position. If it’s not at the right angle then the advice by Nomad is to get your jack button re-fitted. Bonkers!Mine didn’t tighten up to the correct position. So I wrapped some PTFE tape on the thread until it did. What might be better would be if nomad supplied some thin nylon washers that you could put on until the item screwed on to the correct angle.The other issue is that if you want to plug in your guitar/mandolin etc then the strap gets in the way of the jack plug. This isn’t too tricky for me with my cheap fabric strap but with a thick leathery strap then it would be more troublesome.That said, I’m using this gizmo and making it work for me.

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

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.

Great but expensive

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...

Someday I’ll find the one of these that I bought a year ago and I’ll have a strap lock on another guitar, but in the meantime, I finally have a strap lock on my Martin and this adapter works perfectly. I’m very happy with it, it screwed on easily, and there is room for the guitar cable and RokLok on the end of my guitar. Best, my strap doesn’t randomly pop off.

Geniale. Risolve brillantemente il problema delle tracolle che male si fissano all’ingresso jack, troppo grande di diametro, sul fondo delle chitarre acustiche, causando spesso cadute anche fatali dello strumento

Aún no lo he colocado pero no parece complicado, eso si, habrá que ir con mucha paciencia.

I'm happy with it, but it does tend to twist and come loose a lot.

Une fois qu'on a trouvé comment le fixer pour éviter qu'il ne tourne c'est top.
