Hi there and a Happy New Year.I'm wanting to replace the two non genuine gold strap buttons on my old '90 Hollow T and was wondering where I can purchase two of the tapered type from with the rubber washer? All I can see are those with the felt type washer.The mix of the two types has been niggling me for years and I want to return her to how she left the factory nearly 19 years ago.
OR could it have left the factory new with two modern stubby sort and a vintage tapered on? They all have matching screws and washers? H E L P!!
If anyone could give the exact make of the factory originals or shed some light than that would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

we've been using the same gotoh fender looking buttons for ever. originally we had some black delrin washers made. but since they are hard, they didn't conform to the upper horn as nicely so we switched to black felt quite a few years ago.
