Do away with the button and use a flat washer and a felt washer and screw the strap permanently to the guitar.
Stand still.
I'll send you a pair to try if you don't believe us.
I thought people were being weirdly retro about them until I tried some for myself about 10 years ago.
They are simply the best engineering solution for this problem.
Get a bag of 50 from a home-brew shop and never worry about any of your guitars falling off a strap.
