Martin HD28.... where does the strap button go.

[hotroad]

Just bought a new Martin HD28 Sunburst from LA Guitar Sales. Ted was very helpful as usual. But now where do I put the strap button and are there any words of wisdom in installing one. Thanks.

Todd (you can call him “Buck”) Yates has got the perfect instructions for this, with good photos .

It was in another thread a few days ago, trying to find it for you now, but just back from pub here.
May need a cheese n ham toastie first..

Most people use position 5.

I found Stewmac's article helpful ... http://www.stewmac.com/How-To/Online...ap_button.html

Opps.
Yes, thank you.
I fixed it.

I put mine at position 3 on my new Halcyon, but you do need a small block inside to take the screw. I like it because it’s out of the way.

Yeah, that is a good place, my Emerald X7 has it there, so does my Telecaster , I’ve seen it on some Guilds too.

However, I’m afraid that doing that to a Martin is strictly forbidden and could cause some of the senior members here to collapse.

Haha no doubt

I have to admit, I haven’t done it to either of my Gibsons.

This works for me...
