I just got an Epiphone SG Standard. Do any of you nice people use strap locks on a SG?
Gotta pic?I use strap locks on most of my guitars. I find there are a few where I don't trust the Grolsch rubber washer method, and the SG is one of them. I use Loxx strap locks on my SGs, they are very secure but release easily, and they are also the lowest profile ones you can get.
Yep! I can't find Grolsch Beer locally, so the package of rubber grommets works just fine.

Ok, that's damned clever! But if you have different straps for different guitars I still recommend the ones I posted earlier, it's really all you need. Here's a better picAnother option is the Lock-It straps. Other brands have similar ideas, but I have a Lock-It strap on one of my guitars. And yes, it locks really well on a very normal strap button. Sweetwater has them, but I suppose they are available elsewhere.

I have this on two of my SGs and i am satisfied. They dont fit thicker leather straps.I have seen Fender offering "replica" Grolsch grommets, usually in packets of 4 for expensive.
I say expensive as just about any home brew shop will likely offer these for cheap. Here is a US store selling them in packets of 20 for $ 2.79: https://www.midwestsupplies.com/collections/beer-bottles/products/grolsch-gaskets
