Fender Strap Button Felt Washers

Fender Strap Button Felt Washers

Strap buttons don't exactly live glamorous lives. They spend their days supporting the weight of your guitar while being tightened directly against a carefully finished wooden body. The humble Fender Strap Button Felt Washers add a small but very useful layer of protection between those two surfaces.

These genuine Fender replacement felt washers are designed to sit underneath compatible guitar or bass strap buttons, helping cushion the hardware against the instrument's finish. They're especially useful when replacing strap buttons, fitting compatible strap-lock hardware or carrying out a restoration where the original washers have become compressed, damaged or simply disappeared sometime around 1997.

The soft felt creates a barrier between the metal strap button and the guitar body, helping reduce direct contact with the finish while allowing the button to be fitted securely. It's a tiny detail, but on an instrument you care about, tiny details have an irritating habit of becoming important.

Fender supplies these as a pack of 12, giving repairers, guitar techs and serial instrument-tinkerers plenty to keep in the parts drawer. They're suitable for most Fender instruments and can also be useful with other compatible guitars and basses where the dimensions and strap-button arrangement are appropriate.

At Musicmaker, this is exactly the sort of guitar spare we like keeping around. Twelve little pieces of felt won't transform your tone, improve your sweep picking or make the drummer arrive on time – but they can help you do a nice, tidy strap-button job without putting metal directly against your guitar's finish. We'll take that.
