The vid shows an "X pattern" method for strap holding. What's the deal?** A: The video is showing a different model of the same product that rotates with the guitar strap. The version you're asking about is fixed in place and does not rotate. You mount them to the instrument the same way then just attach the strap and assure that the long part of the ellipse is across the slot in the strap to secure it. Here's a link to the rotating version. They're more expensive. https://www.amazon.com/Planet-Waves-Rotating-Elliptical-End/dp/B00ILWUW3Y **Q: Do the black buttons have a flat matte black finish, or a gloss/semi-gloss finish, or powder coated?** A: Mine is matte black. **Q: I purchased a set of the planet waves end pins and there were no plastic or felt washers in the pack? Thanks Russell Guy** A: Sorry to hear. They're easy enough to make from a neoprene washer. If you alter the hole and slit in your strap its a little easier to get on and off. Set the points on the pins perpendicular to the guitar and they never come off accidentally. I've now replaced all my strap buttons with these. **Q: Can these be installed on a ukulele or are the screws too long?** A: I installed these on a Tenor Uke and they are just fine. Not too long at all. Plus they match the ebony tuner pegs nicely and look really good. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product *by C***R on 13 June 2025* Excellent! Strap isn’t falling off in a hurry ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've been playing guitar for years and never knew ! *by P***T on 11 July 2025* Honestly you'll wonder why these weren't originally on every guitar in the first place ! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple solution to a frustrating problem *by J***N on 13 July 2012* Why are all end pins not made like this? So many times I've had a strap come loose while playing live. On one occasion I ended up with a chunk taken out of my bass (the only one I had at the time) when I failed to catch it. The elliptical end pin is such a basic adaptation, so much simpler than strap locks. I must admit that from the picture I thought they'd be a little bigger, but having fitted a pair to one of my guitars I can say I'm happy with the result. They're big enough that I don't think the strap is going anywhere, and that's what matters. It's likely I'll upgrade all of my guitars to these in the near future. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Accessories Elliptical End Pins, Black - Planet Waves PWEEP202 ELLIPTICAL END PIN - NICKEL - D'Addario Accessories D'Addario Elliptical End Pins, Gold, Large --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48689733-planet-waves-elliptical-end-pins-black](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48689733-planet-waves-elliptical-end-pins-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
