The black plastic strap button on the end of my Taylor 310 guitar is secure and well fitted. The problem is that it can only accommodate a strap with a very thin leather 'end'. I have a Levis badged strap that is old and beginning to fray around the strap keyhole and I was wondering if a standard metal strap button could be fitted in place of the plastic one. Easy enough to try it but wondering if there are any pitfalls with this job. I prefer the Levis strap as it is soft and easy on my back. I have to use a strap every time I play guitar due to the effects of being hit by a car driven by a drunken driver. Thanks.

The best type for a thick strap are the 'Dunlop style' ones with a longer straight shaft and a fairly wide head, like this -
