I am about to install a strap button on my new Collings. And I saw some Ebony Strap button for sale at Steward Macdonald.
Ebony Strap Button The seems like a good match to the Ebony End Pin. Anyone ever try them? are they as good as chrome one??  |

Personally, I'd stick with metal. Ebony is wood. Wood can dry out and crack. I've never heard of a problem with ebony end/strap buttons, but I'm cautious about suspending my guitar from such. If the shiny look of metal bothers you, get a black one.
Having said all that, I confess that I have a bone pin on my CW.....  Bryan Kimsey http://www.bryankimsey.com |

Ed, my advice is to use chrome pin. Though end pins are ebony, but it seems a lot more pressure is exerted onto the strap pin, if u imagine that. Never mind about matching the end pin

I just installed a ebony button from Stewart Mc Donald on my new D3. It matches the endpin perfectly. I just could not bring myself to install a metal button on this fine guitar.
