My ESP Eclipse has the Schaller strap locks. Nothing is stripped -YET, but after heavy gigs they need to be screwed back in, so its going to happen, no doubt about it. Anything i can do to prevent it. I know the whole dowel/toothpick trick when they are threaded but im trying to make it so that doesnt happen. and quick tips on keeping the actual strap buttons of the schaller Tight?! that bolt needs to be tweaked daily- Argh! thanks alot guys S.T

Most guys say "toothpicks"

I hear ya... Thinking maybe just drilling a larger/longer hole, Got help from a shop owner, said making like a superglue/corn starch mixture down the hole, wait to dry, then screw in gives a harder surface to fold ontop.

still figuring out what route i'll take

take a low e string are "a" string and cut two or three pieces just a touch shorter then the depth of the hole. stick those in there and screw the screw inbetween the three pieces of string.. that will hold and must likely will not come loose again. i find this method to work just as good if not better then the tooth pic..
