Eye hooks. Slightly longer wood screws (as on my Swampy). Actual strap buttons (cheap on the Web). Big honking staples. Swivel snap hooks. Big Velcro strips. Piece of string and the curved head off a metal coat hanger (similar to a uke strap that hangs from the soundhole, and wraps around the lower edge and back). Friggin' Duct Tape, man!

For the cool factor guy's, for the cool factor!!!! On one of my cbg's I went to the hardware store bought a brass screw and a brass lamp finial, cost more than $.90 but it's original and I had to think about how to do it.

Lowes has a 1 inch - 1 1/2 inch  gold-tone coarse thread screw. I think used for concrete or timbers. It has a rounded head that requires a star tip screwdriver, exactly the size of a standard strap holder. May need a slight predrill to avoid splitting wood. I have used many times. They work great. Cost less than 50 cents and look as good as any high priced mount.
