Fender Strap Blocks
Fender Rubber Strap Blocks are the no-frills solution to strap slippage. These simple rubber washers fit between your strap and strap button, adding just enough friction to keep your strap from coming off.
At around $5 for a pack of two, they're the cheapest insurance policy against your guitar hitting the floor. They work with any strap and require zero installation - just slip them on.
For $5, Fender Rubber Strap Blocks are a no-brainer purchase. Even if you plan to eventually install proper strap locks, these work great in the meantime. They're the cheapest, simplest way to add peace of mind when playing standing up. Buy a pack, try them, and upgrade later if needed.
