Rob, do you not think its crazy that people can talk to their guitar heros so easily now? Like imagine if you could talk to marty freidman or kirk hammett about things back in the day whenever you wanted! Now all i have to do is comment on something to have a conversation with you. You are to me what those guys where to you back in the day! Just a wee thought buddy

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I know bro... it's amazing. It's a wild time we're living in, and it's only going to get crazier and more exciting I imagine!🤘

[@IndependenceGuitar]

😂 I know right, I think that all the time. It’s so cool at least for now. His channel is newer when you compare it to larger youtubers, so one day there will be too many of us. I root for that though, and just appreciate that at least for now, we got access to our guitar hero 🤘

The best straps in my opinion. I have these on every one of my guitars and love them.

Dude my pleasure! Thanks for the content!

[@nolandisconnect]

Nice! My LTD SN-1 is showing up very soon with strap locks pre-installed. I 100% agree. Won't ever own a new guitar without them. Thank you for the content.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Awesome!!

[@XMetalChefX]

Just as a tip, keep the felt pad your strap pin has so the plastic washer wont mark your finish!

[@martrinshyde]

Thanks for that, was just trying to find that out!

[@euclidesanatolly6175]

I v been using this kind of strap for almost 15 years and never failed before... I v done tours and i still have it. Thank you for sharing another great experience... I like your content, and you've been a big influence for me, today i have a custom Viper guitar made for me, it's not from ESP because e. Mozambique does not exist the brand for sale. And this year I bought a LTD MH all this because of the Chimaira and of course your influence... horns up 🔥🤘🏾🔥🤘🏾🔥🤘🏾🔥 from Mozambique 🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Hey cheers brother! That's all awesome to hear!🤘

[@RedCGhost]

I haven’t had any issues, whether it’s recommended or not I use the original screws from the guitar with the strap locks but definitely I have these straps on all my guitars, as soon as I get any guitar new or used one gets put on order immediately. Been using these since 2010 🔥

[@martrinshyde]

Does the attachment on the guitar for the strap not scratch your guitar when on or in case?

[@johnmatthews5321]

I have one on every one of my guitars 13 total black ones purple blue red camo white just need a neon green one now! Its the strap I've been using them for over 20 years. Best strap all around!

I've been playing guitar my entire life and I've never seen these until today. Problem solved. One strap, easy day. Thank you! Great work too, Chamaira went hard man.

Glad to hear it bro!🎸

[@nuguyfieri]

The 3” DiMarzio straps are well worth it as well. I had an Ltd and a Les Paul that were heavy monsters so that wider strap really helped. Good content as always man! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Very nice guitar strap Rob. Easy to fit and will last for a long time. I myself had a black leather studded strap (VERY HEAVY METAL). Nice to see you do this video and something new.

Thanks Rob! I just ordered the 8 String Stef Carpenter LTD in the Red Sparkle finish after watching your last 2 videos and was wondering about these straps. Love these tutorial style videos and love love love the videos you do with Mark. Keep up the great work my man! Bring back the RA LTD so I can get one of those!!!!

[@grenade.turtle]

These are my favorite straps

[@AdoreYouInAshXI]

Great video, thanks!

[@ssb201]

Just attached this strap on my guitar. Loving it so far. I do wish the strap length was a bit shorter. Will have to keep an eye out and see if DiMarzio sells a shorter strap.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Glad you're loving it! But I must ask, you know the straps length is adjustable right?

[@ssb201]

@@RobArnoldWorld Oh yes. I've actually shortened it as much as possible and I still wish I could shorten by another inch or two. Just found today that DiMarzio sells a shorter version of the strap. So that's something I'm keeping on my wishlist. But weirdly, for some reason I'm liking my guitar hanging lower with this new strap. It's partly because with this strap I'm somehow able to keep my guitar a little more vertical without feeling like the neck's gonna dive down.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

@@ssb201 Well hey, if you're getting used to it, then maybe it's all good!

[@jpknievel420]

I like putting the buttons back on too as a backup, so in an emergency you can still use a normal strap, you just need longer screws. 😁

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Interesting! That's actually a really great idea!

[@reinkaoz666]

i got the white one on your sig ;) looks good with that pearl pick guard and the black on my esp 7 horizon standard! SOLID straps

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Ooh! That sounds purdy!

Started using them in 2004 and never looked back

[@MaxsilVonCarstein]

Is Jhon Petrucci's version the same or does something change for better or worse?

[@The_JustJoshing]

Cool video man! I like the Richter straps, I have one of Matt Heafy’s signature ones. Very durable and comfortable. I'll have to try out one of these straps!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I recommend it!

[@maxcady5287]

These cliplock dimarzio guitar strap are the best! though, they keep slipping down my shoulder cause i play LP guitar body, lol. Don't care, i wouldn't change them besides that "issue". I tried the traditional ones, never felt comfortable with them, they seem to get loose with time. These are so solid, i feel so sure they wont get loose besides looking "fragile" at first. Great video!

[@DenartMeyer]

Yeah these straps are really amazing, currently rocking the polyphia strap

[@withinskies1195]

These straps are so cool! I should really invest in a couple! On a second note, do you have an intonation video? Looking to setup a couple of my guitars properly instead of just tuning them and hoping for the best and you show the gear in a way that's easy to follow Cheers either way, you're the man!

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Cool man! And yes I do, but I need to make an updated one for Floyd's. Anyway, check it out! 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJnIm4aBhsRnjZo

[@ericsmith6633]

Ok Rob, let’s hear that 8 in a mix bro!!!

[@iskandartajuden]

Thanks Rob!! Is this strap the 2” or 3”? Was gonna pop a 2” on a baritone 7 but figured 3” would be safer.

[@RobArnoldWorld]

2"! That's the standard, and works well for me. But if you want something a little bit thicker, go for the 3"!🎸

[@majorlee1]

Great vid! I’m going to try it out. I think I’ll jam my 6505 today 🤘😎

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Sounds like a great start to the day!🤘

[@alexpintea]

Hi Rob, do you use the nylon or the cordura straps?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Nylon!

[@doodguy]

Do the plastic clips tend to scratch up the guitar finish?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

In my opinion, not at all! I had multiple guitars coming in and out of cases every night for years. And while they now show signs of their tours of duty, none of that wear and tear is from the Clip Locks. 👌

[@robcny74]

I like those straps but im ocd . My straps have to match my guitar aka my dimebolt has a lightning bolt strap .. my esp it purple quilt so of corse I have a quilt pattern purple strap .. so I just use strap locks on everything. They haven't failed me yet

Hey rob, Not sure if you have answered this question before but, is there a Riff or a lick or even a song you wrote, that still to this day blows your mind?? Like you cant believe you wrote it? If so, could you share it with us?

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I don't know Jonnie! If I have, my humility won't allow me to say!

[@obsg2650]

pro tip here from a young guy who has been using these straps for months now, go to your restroom & get a bar of soap you use to wash your hands or even put on a rag to wash yourself with & rub it on the threads of the screws, it makes it go in better & also minimizing your chances of stripping out your screws

[@RobArnoldWorld]

Cool tip!🤘

Where can I get padding to fit DiMarzio DD2800BK Cliplock Guitar Strap - 3" ?

Padding?

[@billk9799]

You know man, I want to try one of these for ages but I'm very concerned about the damage (if any) of the plastic clip, on the bottom of the guitar... I have seen a video of Jim Root, showing his favorite tele and it had quite a scar over there. Have you noticed anything like that? I'm not really babying my guitars but if i can avoid something..

[@RobArnoldWorld]

I don't think it's an issue to be honest! I've had these on all my guitars, coming in and out of cases every night on the road for years, and there were never really any issues. I think if you treat it like something COULD happen, then that extra bit of TLC will prevent something from happening.

[@billk9799]

@@RobArnoldWorld Thanks man! Gonna strap one on my 7string (finally!) and see how that goes. Thanks again for your feedback, solid as always!

I used to have these on my guitars, and they work fine, but I just really don't like the seatbelt aesthetic and prefer wide leather straps

Does anyone know if the plastic parts tend to break? I have broken through many strap locks before as do a lot of jumping and throwing around when playing. Also I do the throw the guitar around your back truck every now and then. Just gotta know if these things break.

@@RobArnoldWorld it's like how people pay so much for a "vintage" finish on guitars when you can just aquire a similar finish naturally. It's just like paying for ripped and faded jeans.

I started using these some years ago now, from seeing you and Steph Carpenter using them. I've never looked back since. I used to use the old Dunlop Grommet straps before that. I kinda wish they would make a Dunlop Grommet Cliplock version.
