Gretsch Country Classic - Strap Buttons

Does anyone have any recommendations for using the stock strap buttons, like the ones in the picture, and keeping them from slipping through the strap hole? Should I just use a washer?

Thought about putting a new set of Schaller's on, but the screw is bigger in diameter and I'm worried about cracking the hollow-body.

Thanks!
 
I have never had any problems with those strap buttons on my Gretsch guitars. But if the hole in your strap is a little large then I would think a big thin rubber or plastic washer would work. Where the strap buttons screw in to the body there is usually a pretty good sized block of wood. If you are changing to strap locks and the screw is larger I would just drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the new screw to avoid splitting anything.
