Gonna go back and read the whole thread but just saying I'm really excited to have picked up a mando after wanting one for like 20 years!
I played a ton of bass in my youth but have always been enamored with this instrument. Found a local Kentucky KM-150 and picked it up yesterday.




I do need some help with the strap button - should this be a peg or a screw in type like this
Looks smooth and tapered, no threading I can see.

My 150 is a peg. I can pull it out and take a pic when I get home if it would be helpful.

Thanks, figured it was a peg. My daughter's acoustic has one but its actually a bit too small. No pic needed but if you have a means to measure that would be great - if not no worries. If anyone has a source please let me know.
Edit - trying the unit from Waverly. I'm sure I can modify that if needed.
Conversely, beside modifying the instrument, any issues with filling it and using what I linked above?
