Default Taylor 114e Strap Button

My plastic strap button has broken. Is there a good source for these sorts of parts for Taylor? It looks like I'll need to replace the entire battery holder for this.

Thanks in advance!

The whole battery packs are under 50 dollars from memory.

The strap button (aka input jack) on the Taylors are pretty robust, unusual to hear of one breaking.

Default Taylor parts

Not trying to be cute, but Taylor is a dandy source for Taylor parts....

And that was my VERY first thought. But their site is more geared toward purchasing guitars... not so much parts. And I would hope there are some after-market options for this. As for robust... they are plastic.

Default conversation a good idea

Dunno about Taylor's web site being parts-oriented, but phone calls these days are almost always free and Taylor's customer service folks are very good listeners.

They referred me to a local service center. I'm on track now. Thank you all for the prompt replies!
