Farmingdale, New York — The new Auto Lock Swivel Strap, D’Addario’s newest innovation, is the surest way to keep guitars secure and straps straight.
Built atop D’Addario’s already successful Auto Lock technology, which gives players an incredibly easy-to-use, secure integrated strap locking system, the Auto lock Swivel is designed specifically for guitars with rear-facing strap buttons.
Many guitarists own an instrument with a strap button located on the back of the body. While this can be a cool feature, it can also be a challenge for standard straps. The rear-facing strap button leads to twisting, which makes it uncomfortable to wear and may cause the strap end to stretch, creating a risk that the guitar may fall off. D’Addario’s new Auto Lock Swivel eliminates this issue completely.
The Auto Lock Swivel Strap was forged from two great ideas from two big names in the guitar industry— legendary guitarist Joe Satriani and inventor Ned Steinberger. Steinberger designed the Auto Lock and Satriani formulated the swivel concept. Building on the ease of use and security of the Auto Lock, D’Addario created the Auto Lock Swivel, which rotates as the strap is pulled in different directions. This assures it stays straight and comfortable for the player—and with Auto Lock technology, you know it won’t fall off either.
