This is the default Fender Jaguar Special HH strap button which I dislike. It features the 'cup' design which serves to expand the strap slit over time.
Replaced it with a Planet Waves version with an additional felt inserted between the guitar body & the button itself.
It's not quite visible from the previous pic but here it is before going into the body. The benefit of having this in there is that it prevents the body finish from fusing with the button. This would prove damaging when you decide to unscrew deteriorated strap buttons for replacement; the button would lift off the finish & you'd hear this awful cracking sound only to realize the affected surface had indeed cracked.

Hi sub!
Been following your blog recently, and stumbled upon this which was exactly what i was looking for.
Would you mind telling me where to get these?
Thanks in advance!
Bro- thanks for dropping by, appreciate it. The strap buttons- bought @ Davis. It's the Planet Wave version & sold in pairs. The felt/cushion- also bought @ Davis, the price of which I can't remember. Should be $3 per pair or a figure close to this.
Thank you! The pleasure is mine bro! I've learnt quite a few useful tips from your posts, much appreciated!
I love how your bite-sized posts are concise and straight to the point. Every little takeaway summed together really gives me a much broader knowledge base.Will definitely continue following your blog!
