You should have slid the top of it up under your moobs. That would have held it in place.

I dont like to wear a guitar up that high. My moobs don't droop that much. :ROTF:

Who was it that mounted the strap on the rear of the body in one of the trem cavity cover holes? He said that worked great and felt more like a seatbelt strapping the guitar to him. He was using a standard nylon strap as well, IIRC, not a grippy-material.

I believe that was Dave (Moshwitz). There should be pics of it somewhere around here.

The strap over the rear horn seems to work pretty good except i don't want to wear off the finish. I think I'll just learn to deal with it if my pick arm doesn't lean and fix it. Like I said not that bad a problem.
I think spivonious said he has his KE3 with the button on the cover too.
And BTW - Just got Marvel straplocks for 3 of my guitars. Kelly XL, DKMG, and a Warlock so 3 different shapes and weights... They seem really nice. A little rattle if you shake it but no more than my dunlops on my strat. The design seems more solid going over the button as opposed to inside like the dunlop and it feels tighter. Has 5 balls instead of 3, not that I think that'll really matter but OK. Just in case anyone was looking for an option. $24 and change shipped on ebay for 3 sets.

Mine is where the neck plate would be if the Kelly Std had one.

For what it's worth, my Ibanez also has the strap pin in that location and it leans away from me too. It might just be something that happens with the pin there and not something unique to the Kelly shape.
