  1. Strap button coming out on my Sam Bush model Gibson

    Recently the strap button on my 5 year old Sam Bush model Gibson has been coming loose and falling out at times. Any suggestions on how I can secure the end pin?

    Thanks.

    Does anyone know where you can buy longer leather mandolin straps for an F5? I've bought several in stores and the longest I've found are 42". Looking for something longer.
