Looking for a guitar strap

[rcker5150]

Does anyone know where I can find a guitar strap that has the swivel clasps on the end that would clip on to an eyelit screw? I see alot of pros using them and I've surfed the internet but keep coming up blank. If you don't understand what I mean, I would replace the strap buttons with a eyelit screw (like something you would get at the hardware store for locking the gate on your fence, with a hook) and then hook the swiveling clasp onto that eyelit.
Any help would be great.

You could always do it ghetto style if nothing else. Get some eyelet screw dealies from the hardware store and remove the strap from your laptop/messenger bag and clip that on.

If by "a lot of pros" you mean Eddie Van Halen and sometimes Zakk Wylde...

A carabiner like this should work. Just slip one side through the button hole on your strap and clip the other side onto the screw eye.

I have never seen a manufactured strap with those. That will trash your finish too around the eyelet. I say make one.

Some military rifle slings have that sort of thing. It's almost the same as the ones for guitar. They pretty much only come in black or green though. The Israeli ones are 2 inches wide and plenty long. They are almost like a seatbelt material with clips at the end. Check ebay or gunbroker.

Here's a sling for an M-60/M-249 machine gun that I've turned into a guitar strap:

Without being able to clearly see that, what's to keep the "hook" end of that from bending?
