I know that this topic has been beat to death with various posts and a slew of different opinions, so I'm really going to get very specific with this ask.
I have a new A style mandolin. It doesn't have a strap button, and I'm not interested in installing one at this time. So, the options are headstock (behind nut or between tuners) or around the neck/body joint & under fretboard. I'd prefer not to go with the shoe/boot lace tied option, which might further narrow it down to just the headstock options. I'm looking for a quality, comfortable leather strap. What I really want to know is will the kind with a fixed loop work for headstock attachment. I understand that it would need to go on with strings off and not be removeable without removing all strings. Has anyone done this with the Lakota leather strap like below? Did you put the loop behind the nut or between the tuners?
