Location: New York, NY | Thanks, Dave, for the tip. I tried cutting the leather end to make the hole bigger, and although I was able to get it over the endpin jack, I found the fit is never quite right because the hole itself is just too small. I would be concerned about the strap coming off by accident, but it is an improvement.
FYI: I did find one company, John Pearse Strings, that makes a strap specifically for endpin jack guitars. It might be worth checking out, although from the picture alone, the hole still looks kind of small to me.
