Hi Jody,
Too late to edit now, but thread titles like "strap button placement" or "strap button installation" would net more hits. (nothing personal, just encouraging efficiency, good etiquette, and quicker response) ![[:Y:]](./images/smilies/smiley20.gif "Thumbs Up")

Oh, BTW, as you drill remember to watch out for metal in the heel, with bolt on necks, IE: Taylors, etc, I like ot place mine on the underside of the heel arch. We've probably seen them attached to the heel cap ~ Don't like the way that looks really... |

Treble side of the heel. I don't know why anyone would bother with anywhere else. I don't even like strap buttons myself though. |

Treble side of the heel. Folks like Mario are wise enough to install it on every guitar (if I'm remembering remember correctly). First to avoid someone making a bad choice of placement later, and perhaps more importantly to save the owner the grief of worrying about (gasp) - drilling a hole in their beautiful instrument and altering the original condition. I wish more builders did this. Just remember to be aware of fastener locations if the neck joint is bolt on. There may still be a discussion on this that hasn't reached the archives yet. |

Thanks everyone I new it would be a good idea to ask the pro's before doing the task, being a 70's martin I don't think there is metal in there , but I will be sure to look for bolts first , if even only to develope the habit ! Jody |
