...I'm stuck in a dilemma. I think all Martins come with very wide strap buttons where the instrument cord plugs in, forcing players to buy only the Martin brand leather guitar straps that fit the wide strap button.

Well, I wanna use other straps universally for convenience, and I've found that it's impossible to fit it on there. I've drilled a wider hole on one of my straps, and when I put it on the guitar strap, it fit well. However, after a few months, it started falling apart.

I've also noticed that the strap button is wider AND shorter than some other ones.

I've been trying to look to replace the button because the martin buttons can be screwed off easily.


So my question is: What should I do? Can I just get any new button and screw/twist it on there, or do I need to do something more specific?

Thanks.
