Detail 01
Elliptical head shape
The oval profile holds a strap slot more securely than a small round button, so the strap is less likely to pop off.

D'AddarioElliptical End Pin Strap Button Gold
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-finish strap button that replaces an acoustic guitar's end pin, giving a strap a fixed anchor point. For players adding a strap to an acoustic without one.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Acoustic players who want to stop tying a strap to the headstock
- Matching gold hardware on a guitar with gold tuners
- Replacing a plain end pin with a strap-ready button
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars that already have a working end pin strap button
- Anyone needing a locking strap system for heavy stage use
- Instruments with an endpin jack for a pickup — that spot is taken
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Gold finish
Meant to match gold tuners and bridge pins. Gold plating wears through at contact points over years of use.
Detail 03
End pin position
Mounts at the tail block, the thickest, strongest part of an acoustic body. That's why straps anchor there.
Detail 04
Single button
One button covers the tail end only. An acoustic without a heel button still needs a headstock tie or a second button installed.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One button per package — a full strap setup may need two
- 02Installation means a screw into the tail block; check the existing hole size
- 03No strap, screw felt washer, or locking hardware assumed — plan accordingly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my acoustic guitar?
It mounts in the standard end pin location at the tail. If your guitar has a pickup endpin jack there, that spot is already occupied and this won't fit.
02Do I need two of these?
For a strap that runs tail to neck heel, yes — one at each point. Many players use one at the tail and tie the other end to the headstock.
03Is this a locking strap button?
No. It's a standard button with an elliptical head. For a locking system you'd need dedicated locking hardware.
04Can I install it myself?
It's a screw-in part at the tail block. If you're widening or drilling a hole on a finished acoustic, a tech is the safer call.
