No tremolo on my LP.
As for strap-locks, I chose semi permanent because well, I've simply tied the leather bit up with some string so that it can't come off the strap hook very easily. It will come off if you pull it in a certain direction but not will never come off while playing. I sometimes worry about the strap scratching the body while it's in the case but I am always very careful to lay the plastic buckle bits on top of the strap fabric so it can't touch the body. -------------------- Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day.

I prefer cases, as they're much more durable and take shorter time to open and close.

I take both, when i go to rehearse with my band i take a gig bag because its more handy. If i'm going to gig with all my equipment i take the case because the equipment in my car could damage my guitar if it was in a gigbag.

ever since I heard that story, I swore by gig bags. The higher end ones are damn near invincible. I never take my stuff anywhere at the moment - need to get into a band sometime when my job allows it ... In any case: - Hard Case always, Strap and Bar stay on until I move it I cracked a classical guitar at age 12 in a boisterous queue to get on a school bus (was a very cheap unpadded bag though) - ever since then its been hard cases all the way. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Whilst it's at home my main guitar sits on a stand and I only put the bar on if I'm using it. Strap is on all the time and strap locked.
If I move it anywhere it goes in a flightcase and stays there when not in use. I used to roadie for a PA hire company and for a few bands many years ago and I've seen too many accidents where guitars have had their headstocks sheared off whilst not in a proper case.
