Straps!!
So this has probably been discussed so don't slam me but here goes I have a new Martin that I installed a pickup in and have a narrow 1/4 strap button.
What is the best guitar strap to use with this application? These can be troublesome to attach and keep attached and I do not want some cheap looking strap on a nice guitar. Thanks for your kind advise. |

I think you may want to check out one of these Acoustic Strap Secures sold by Stew Mac.

Or alternatively, order one of Sully's superb hand-made straps, and specify that the butt-end of the strap should be made to fit an endpin-jack. Sully will cut the correct-size hole, and skive the leather to the correct thickness. I have five Sully's straps, they are excellent.

I get it, I have found a couple of things that work for me. I have a Levy's Suede strap (very beautiful, but kinda heavy), and a Walker Williams strap (also beautiful, and less expensive).
I use a Tapastring on one, and the Planet Waves "Cinchfit" endpin keeper on the other. I have had good results with both, the Tapastring is great in its attractiveness and simplicity, and the Planet Waves works with a drawstring closure that stays tight on the endpin jack and seems very secure when I have used it. For sure give 'em a look. And go to the Walker Williama site as well. Hope this helps. ymmv. |

I've been using this for a handful of years. Works great for me!

Daddario also makes a cinch strap lock. Great product for any strap.

This wil solve your problem without altering the size of the strap hole in a quality strap.

I'll second this. The Tapastring device also keeps the jack unobstructed. Plug or unplug at will. |
