Thanks: Thats a good idea with the locktight. I am aware even Mica has pointed out the preventive where as to frequently check the connection of the strap to the pin... of which I am guilty of NOT checking! Got it on the BLUE stuff.

I had my strap come apart at a practice last week. I was lucky. I put in a lock washer instead of the flat washer but think I need to use some loctite instead.

Checking the nut on my strap lock is a regular component of my pre-flight check list EVERY time I play.  I only had to watch my friend's strap come undone and his Martin fall and bounce off the stage like a Bernie Madoff check once to learn my lesson about checking straps and strap buttons, etc.  It still hurts to even think about it.
 
By the way, you're going to LOVE the Moody straps.
