Dear forum members, I'm a big proponent of strap locks and was trying to come up with a solution for my Fender D'Aquisto Ultra. It uses acoustic-electric style end jack, which makes me quite insecure when I'm attaching a strap to it. At first I was really excited when I found Music Nomad's Acousti-Lok, which looks exactly like what I was looking for, but then looking at the endpin it seems like the threaded part of the pin would be flush with the tailpiece and I will not be able to install it. I have two question in this regard:
1) Does anybody know what brand of an endpin jack Fender might be using
2) What would you recommend to use to secure your strap on a pin like that.
I have strap-locks on my Godin with an end-pin jack, working just fine. Can't remember the brand, but a common one. Also, end-pin jacks generally larger than strap buttons, you may not need a strap-lock device.
The metal cam goes around the strap pin, and is held securely by Velcro. It's the most secure endpin strap I've found. I have them on two achtops with endpin jacks, and I reallly like them.

I think another issue with a track like this is whether the player can phrase with the implied clave. If you try to play swing style over it, you may conflict with the clave and add to the confusion.

TAL_175, I'm not informed enough to use these words:...
All Latin backing tracks tend to get tricky if one can't hear the bass clearly, cause, despite the claves, many times the bass is what's holding the groove together. And bass is often mixed way too...
You're almost there. I agree that this backing track is challenging. The ride cymbal is playing a tricky pattern that's hard to extract quarter notes from. On the original Art Blakey version, he's...
