    I faced an issue where my Archtop would randomly lose sound. After investigating, I discovered that the jack plug was loosening from the end pin socket due to tension from the guitar strap. Despite trying a better fitting strap, the problem persisted until I found a solution:
    CinchFit | Accessories | D'Addario
    ... it solved the problem.

    From the D'Addario website: Note: The Acoustic Cinch Fit is designed to work with Fishman and Switch craft style end pin jacks. We cannot guarantee that the unit will work with all brands and styles of end pin jacks.

    It does not sit 'nicely' on my guitar as there is a screw head in the way. I need to sit the 'adaptor' on a slight angle - but it is still secure.

    Here's another option, one that I use: Strap Lock Adapter for Acoustic Guitars with Standard Output Jacks - Acousti-Lok by MusicNomad - Music Nomad

    They also offer a model for jacks with metric threads.

    That looks like a nice solution, I wish I had seen that earlier

    It's very strong, and works with Schaller strap locks, other strap locks, or no lock. I really like them.
