Guitar Strap Hole Size Standard: 8mm. (5/16") & FREE Custom Adapting
The Standard Guitar Strap Hole Size You Need
This is about the Hole Sizes in the leather end parts of Guitar Straps.
Just comment that the Straps, normally, need a 8 mm. hole. 5/16 inches.
This is the most common size, and also the size that we use in Pardo Guitar Straps as our standard.

When and Why You May Need a Custom Hole Diameter
But this 8 mm. hole is not the unique hole size that maybe you need for your Guitar. Finally It depends of the strap locks that are going with your Guitar.
Maybe the hole, is smaller, such as 6 mm. Maybe you use strap locks like Schaller, or similar, that ussually need a 10 mm. holes, even some strap locks need a 12 mm. hole.
How to Determine Your Required Hole Size
For check the diameter of your Strap lock, the better way to do is using a caliper.

Considerations for Sliced vs. No-Sliced Ends
Besides, you maybe need the leather end part to be sliced, or not...
- As a Standard, the leather end parts are sliced. Then, It is easier to fix and unfix the guitar strap.
- But, If you use a strap lock button, such a Schaller, no need to be sliced.
