Headstock attachment options?
Hello, I do not wish to install a strap button. What are some options for a headstock attachment piece that will not marr my Collings?

thing J Patrick posted... I think you have to put it on with the strings off? So once the little dongle end is on there, it is on there until at least the next string change...?  In my imagination, I'd like one of these things, but I've never seen one in real life...  -Mike

I used the d’addarios on my guitars too. Keep one on each. Easy on and off tho I don’t take them off.

I normally just tie a leather thong above the bottom set of tuners (as in the above pics).
I also have a Walker and Williams strap on my Larrivee Parlor which seems to work just fine. https://walkerandwilliams.com/produc...-adaptor-copy/

I tried the the headstock loopy thing...it’s just awkward for me having the strap at that angle at the headstock. I just drilled a hole on the treble side of my heel and badaboom badabing it’s perfect. The loopy thing is inexpensive and easily removed if it doesn’t work. I can appreciate you not wanting to “marr” the guitar, but it’s not a marr, it’s an accessory.

But this Walker and Williams piece is interesting. Makes me wonder - do you feel the snap is secure enough? And would it be large enough to move it out past the E pegs? I dont think I would like it at the nut.

I used to use one of these thingies:
 Used it at many bluegrass jams, open mics, etc. never had a problem with it, but I stopped using it because it made me uncomfortable. Because of the little plastic button and the angle that the strap and the button interface, I kept imagining that it would fail. Now I have one of those D'Addario things, (though) I haven't really used it yet. Mostly I just tie a loop of paracord (or similar) to the end of the strap long enough that I can feed the strap back through it.
