Red D-tuna

EVH Wolfgang Special Stealth with Red D-tuna

I acquired a “used” EVH Wolfgang Special Stealth guitar in early April, 2016 and it came with D-tuna preinstalled. I noticed the D-tuna was rattling on the “drop” position. It turned out the D-tuna locking screw was too long. The second D-tuna locking screw provided with the guitar is identical in length with the one installed on the guitar.

I ended up buying a Red D-tuna kit to get the shorter locking screw.

After installing the shorter locking screw, the D-tuna no longer rattles on the “drop” position.

Dunlop Straplok

Dunlop Straplok Balck Hardware

I have just purchased a new electric guitar from Amazon.com and it comes with Dunlop StraplokI pre-installed. I’ll write more about purchasing guitar online later on as I am still struggling with a few issues.

I then decided to install Straplok on my old Gibson SG I which I purchased back in 1994; obviously it was used.

I also purchased an Ernie Ball guitar strap with the Straplok.

I realized that I should install the Straplok facing outward since Gibson SG neck strap button is on the back of the body. The same goes with my new guitar.

Install the retainer clip and it is done. Obviously, I installed Straplok the other end of the strap too; facing inward.

I’m ready to rock, with less chance of having the guitar to fly out when I spin it around my neck.
