Large Strap Buttons

[me wise majic]

Anyone know where I can get guitar buttons that are really large? Like once on, never off big. Some company used to make them and/or put them on their guitars but I can't for the life of me remember who. This is going on my V-type. All my higher end guitars have Dunlop Strap-Loks, I just want a basically regular setup on this guitar.

Thanks in advance,

The round string retainers that you find on Fender basses work really well as oversized strap buttons.

I've used these Lokstrap things that mount over an existing strap button. They sell in stores for around $3 a pair and work pretty well. Here's a pic:

Yep. Those Lokstrap locks work really well. The only problem with them is that they don't fit over the large Charvel/Jackson strap buttons.
