[...] I’m sure the brewers at Grolsch didn’t intend this, but it turns out you can use the washers on the fancy fliptop lid as DIY straplocks. For details, head on over to the Play Like A Girl blog.-MJS [...]

I’m pround to say that I have now introduced Lori to the magical mechanical strap lock, a highly useful locking mechanism (and quite cheap, too), where one part replaces the strap holder on the guitar and the other part is mounted on the strap. You can then easily, just by pulling a small knob on the strap-part, remove the strap. But when it locks - IT LOCKS

This means any beer brand of your own liking will now do

not to mention the hidden trademark invention of fixing your volume/tone pots
with the inability to leave you some more lindors in your case, i thought those grolsch gaskets/gadgets would be a nice parting gift until the next time we meet

This comment posted below my previous comment links to a blog that has re-posted my last 4 blog posts without any attribution or linkback. rock.guitarsite.org is a spam blog trying to get search rank by re-posting lots of duplicate content.

The blog piece referenced is actually my blog responding to Lori’s straplock blog.

[Note from Lori: Sorry JP, I didn't realize. Deleted the trackback. Content-suckers suck.]

Priceless idea!! I’ve gotta blog this– I promise to plug you as source. Y’know, just last week I double sticked two Guinness caps on atop the vol/tone knobs of my ‘72 Thinline natural finish. The black with the little gold harps looks cool with that guitar, and the crimp points around the caps make the knobs easier to turn. Back in the 80’s, I stuck a Giraf beer label to that same guitar, but eventually removed it.

Now it’s Grolsch time!

Aaand Grolsch originally comes from very near my hometown :p and those rubber rings rule.. I used to have quite a collection of them (without ever drinking the beer though, but the rubber bands are ever so usefull)
